Historic Montrose homes and older housing stock
A large share of 77006 was built in the early 1900s, and much of it sits within one of Montrose's historic districts. These older homes, including Arts and Crafts bungalows and renovated mansions, often have pier-and-beam floors, original wood, and plaster walls. Water damage in a home like this needs a careful approach: the aim is to pull moisture out of aged framing and finishes and dry it fully, while protecting the original character that makes these houses worth restoring. Hidden moisture is a particular concern in older construction, so part of the work is finding water that has moved into wall cavities and under floors, not just what is visible.

Apartments, rentals, and multi-unit buildings in 77006
Most of the housing in 77006 is rented, and the area has many apartments, fourplexes, and converted older buildings alongside its single-family homes. In a multi-unit building, one leak rarely stays in one place. Water from an upper unit can travel down through ceilings into the units below, and a leak in a vacant unit can go unnoticed for a while. We work with owners, managers, and residents to get the water out, dry every affected unit, and check the shared walls and floors between them.
Buffalo Bayou and storm water in 77006
Buffalo Bayou runs along the northern edge of 77006, and Houston's Gulf Coast location brings heavy rain, tropical storms, and hurricane-driven flooding, including major storms such as Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Ground closer to the bayou and other low-lying spots can take on water when drainage is overwhelmed. Whether the water comes from a storm outside or a pipe or appliance inside, the priority is the same, because water soaks into drywall, flooring, and framing within hours, and mold can begin to grow within a day or two.
First steps if you have water damage in 77006
While you wait for help:
- Stop the water at its source if you safely can, such as shutting the main valve for a burst pipe.
- Turn off power to the affected area, and never step into standing water where electricity is live.
- Stay clear of contaminated water, since sewage and flood water can carry bacteria.
- Move valuables clear of the water, and off the lower floors first in a townhome or multi-unit building.
- Do not use a household vacuum on standing water, since it is not built for it and can be dangerous.
Anything larger than a small, clean spill, or any water that may be contaminated, is safer handled by a professional.
