Old Towne is in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana.

Kitchens and bathrooms are common starting points in Old Towne, because that is where most of the pipework and appliances sit. Water damage in Old Towne can start with a burst pipe, a leaking appliance, a roof leak in heavy rain or a sewage backup. A ceiling stain below an upstairs bathroom in an Old Towne home or a damp carpet near an outside wall both point to water moving where it should not.

Signs to Check in Old Towne Homes

Water damage in a Old Towne home shows the same signs as anywhere else in St. Tammany Parish โ€” but in a busy household in Old Towne it is easy to miss. Standing water on a Old Towne floor, a damp patch on a ceiling, a musty smell, a floor that buckles, water coming in during heavy rain, a burst pipe, or sewage indoors are the signs that matter for Old Towne homes in St. Tammany Parish. Two or more together are a strong reason to call and describe them rather than waiting.

Signs alone are not proof of the cause in a Old Towne home in St. Tammany Parish. A damp patch in Old Towne can come from a roof leak as well as a pipe leak, and a musty smell can come from damp that has been sitting where it cannot be seen. The visit looks for the full extent of the water in the Old Towne property โ€” the wet rooms first, then the rooms beside them and the places water travels โ€” and the work is planned from what is found, because drying planned without finding the full extent is work that comes back. If you have just moved into a Old Towne home, or brought used fixtures home, check the sinks, toilets, water heater and the rooms underneath them first: water damage is often found in the first weeks in a new home in St. Tammany Parish.

Homes, Apartments and Rentals in Old Towne

Houses in Old Towne range from small single-story homes to larger family houses, and water can reach any of them through a pipe, a roof or a doorway.
