Salaam Jameel Sahib. It is a common problem in many homes. This is due to the reason that plumbing work is not proper done. It can easily be managed without much problem and expenses. It does not matter whether it is severe or normal as in both cases it needs to be opened and resetted.
Yes! plaster from all house may be wiped out and may be done again.

The same problem I had in my house which I rented out last week. To fix this problem requires an experienced plumber. First, pin point the leakage by carefully observing the direction of seepage or wetness of walls or ceiling etc. Then by pass that portion, installing pipes outside the walls. This way you don't need to dig the tiles or walls.

This problem is bound to emerge over the period of years in houses due to normal wear and tear of water pipes. The best solution is initial design and layout of plumbing work. The main pipes should be kept outside the walls and tiles as much as possible and feasible.
