Homes and townhomes in 77040
Most of 77040 is single-family homes built from the 1970s through the 1990s, on established streets, with a growing number of newer townhomes and commercial buildings. In a slab home, water from a burst pipe, water heater, or appliance spreads across the floor and wicks up into the walls, while in a taller townhome a leak on an upper floor can travel down through several levels. 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.

White Oak Bayou and flood risk in 77040
77040 is in the White Oak Bayou watershed in northwest Houston. White Oak Bayou generally stays within its banks in smaller storms but can flood in larger events, and several neighborhoods here also see local drainage from storm sewers and roadside ditches back up in heavy rain. Flood-control work, including large stormwater detention projects, has been built in the area to reduce the risk. When storm water reaches a home, it comes in low and can be 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 77040
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 flood and contaminated water, since it can carry bacteria and other hazards.
- Move valuables clear of the water, and off the lower floors first in a townhome.
- 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.
