Homes on larger lots in 77048
Much of the housing in 77048 is single-family homes, some on larger, semi-rural lots that give the area a more open feel than the dense neighborhoods closer to the city. Most are slab homes, so water from a burst pipe, water heater, or appliance spreads across the floor and wicks up into the walls rather than travel between levels. Drying a home like this well means finding the moisture that has soaked under flooring and into the base of the walls, not just what is visible on the surface.

Sims Bayou and flood risk in 77048
77048 sits in the Sims Bayou watershed, and low-lying ground east of Almeda Road has flooded in past storms. A completed Sims Bayou federal project, with channel improvements and two regional stormwater detention basins upstream, has helped reduce the risk along the bayou, but heavy rain can still overwhelm local drainage in low spots. When flood water reaches a home, it comes in low 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 77048
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 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.
