When Plumbing Problems Turn Costly
Water damage is one of the most common - and costly - issues home and business owners face. A small plumbing leak or improper pipe installation can quickly lead to soaked walls, damaged flooring, and hidden mold growth. At DeRamus Construction Services, we have seen firsthand how faulty plumbing work can cause major headaches for homeworkers and property managers across Northwest Louisiana and East Texas.
When left unchecked. a minor plumbing issues can cause structural damage that compromises your property's safety and comfort. That's why proper plumbing installation and prompt restoration are critical.
Common Causes of Water Damage from Plumbing Issues
Poor Pipe Installation - Incorrect fittings or loose joints can slowly leak behind walls, causing hidden damage.
Aging or Corroded Pipes - Over time, metal or PVC pipes deteriorate, leading to cracks and breaks.
Faulty Seals Around Fixtures - Incomplete seals around tubs, sinks, or showers allow water to seep into subflooring.
DIY Repairs Gone Wrong - Quick fixes or temporary solutions often lead to bigger problems later.
Our licensed and experienced team ensures that every plumbing connection meets code standards, preventing future damage and unnecessary expenses.

When plumbing issues do cause water damage, time is of the essence. Acting fast can prevent long-term damage such as mold damage, wood rot, and foundation issues.
Our water mitigation process includes:

For a recent project in Shreveport, our team restored a home after poor plumbing installation caused significant interior water damage. We replaced drywall, trim, and flooring - and refreshed the space with a clean color palette using Sherwin Williams Greek Villa (SW 7551) on the walls and High Reflective White (SW 7757) on the trim.
