Richmond TX Plumbing & Damage Restoration | Service Squad

Living in Richmond near the Brazos River means foundation seepage can be a recurring issue, especially after storms. Our damage restoration team starts with a full moisture assessment using specialized meters to find hidden wet insulation in crawlspaces and walls. We then use commercial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the structure, followed by mold prevention treatments. If your insulation is saturated, we safely remove and replace it with a moisture-resistant option. We also inspect your plumbing for any cracks that may have worsened the leak. This localized approach helps protect Richmond homes from long-term damage.

A plumbing inspection from Service Squad is thorough and transparent. We start by checking all visible pipes under sinks and around water heaters for corrosion or leaks. Using a camera scope, we inspect the main sewer line for tree root intrusion or blockages—a common issue in older Richmond neighborhoods near downtown. We also test water pressure, check for slab leaks, and examine your water heater’s condition. After the inspection, we provide a detailed report with clear options for any repairs needed, so you know exactly what’s happening with your home’s plumbing.

Absolutely. River flood damage from the Brazos can compromise water pipes, causing leaks that lead to structural issues. Our team responds quickly to Richmond properties affected by flooding. We first shut off the water supply to prevent further damage. Then, we locate the break—often under slab foundations or in exterior walls—using electronic leak detection. Depending on the damage, we can repair the pipe section, or replace it entirely, and test for proper pressure afterward. We also coordinate with your insurance if needed, providing detailed documentation of the repair process.
