Older homes in Independence Heights and Northline
Much of 77022 is small-lot, single-family housing, a lot of it older, reflecting the age of Independence Heights and the surrounding neighborhoods. These homes often have aging plumbing, original wood, and finishes that call for a careful drying approach so moisture comes out without further damage. Alongside them, some lots are being rebuilt with newer homes. Because older construction hides moisture well, part of the work here is finding water that has moved into wall cavities and under floors, not just what is visible on the surface.

Little White Oak Bayou and local flooding in 77022
Flooding in 77022 often comes from local drainage rather than a river overflowing. Independence Heights and Northline sit in the Little White Oak Bayou sub-watershed, and these areas can flood even in smaller, more frequent storms when drainage backs up under heavy rain. When storm water reaches a home, it comes in low and can spread quickly, 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 77022
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 up and clear of the water.
- 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.
