Homes in Houston and how they leak
Most homes are slab-on-grade brick ranches and two-story houses, with the air handler and often the water heater in the attic. Older neighborhoods such as the Heights and Montrose have pier-and-beam houses. After repeated floods, many homes near Brays Bayou have been elevated.
Local issues that cause water damage

Questions from Houston homeowners
Do I need flood insurance if my Houston home has never flooded?
It is worth having. Many homes flooded by Harvey were outside mapped flood zones, and homeowners insurance excludes rising water.
The power is out after a storm and my house is wet. What matters most?
Get soaked carpet, pad and drywall out quickly and open the house up when it is not raining. In Houston's heat, mold starts within two days.
