The 48-Hour Rule: Why Waiting on Repairs Costs You More in Shreveport
We get it! Life in Shreveport is busy. When something breaks, squeaks, drips, or sticks, it’s tempting to tell yourself:
“I’ll get to it this weekend.”
Here’s the problem: in Louisiana, 48 hours is all it takes for a small home issue to start turning into a bigger, pricier headache.
Why the 48-Hour Rule Exists
Humidity Works Fast
Our weather can swell doors, warp wood, and make even the tiniest leak grow mold. Waiting a week can mean replacing instead of repairing.Storms Don’t Wait
That “minor” roof or gutter issue? One heavy rain and you’re looking at water damage.Pests Love an Opportunity
Cracks, gaps, or loose boards are like a welcome mat for bugs and rodents, and they won’t politely wait for you to get around to fixing them.
Real Shreveport Story
A customer noticed a small drip under her sink on a Tuesday. She figured she’d deal with it “on Saturday when she had more time.” By the time we got there, the cabinet floor was soft, the wall was damp, and the faint smell of mildew had set in.
A $65 fix became a $475 replacement. All because the problem had a few extra days to grow.
