Homes in South Union, MacGregor, and along OST
Much of 77021 is established single-story homes, many on slab foundations, alongside a growing number of new townhomes and rebuilt houses and some historic neighborhood pockets. In an older slab home, water spreads across the floor and wicks up into the walls, while in a newer, taller townhome a leak on an upper floor can travel down through several levels. Because the area sits next to the Medical Center, a good deal of the housing is also rented, and a leak in a rental can go unnoticed between tenants. Whatever the home, the first step is to find where the water went, including what has soaked in out of sight, and dry it fully before mold sets in.

Brays Bayou and flood risk in 77021
Brays Bayou runs through 77021, past MacGregor Park and along the Brays Bayou Greenway, and it is regarded as one of the most flood-prone bayous in Houston. Even as flood-control projects are completed, a large number of nearby properties are expected to remain in the 100-year flood plain, so low-lying ground here stays exposed during heavy rain. When storm water reaches a home, it comes in at ground level and is often contaminated, and once it does, it soaks into flooring, drywall, and framing within hours, with mold able to begin growing within a day or two.
First steps if you have water damage in 77021
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 multi-level home.
- 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.
