It is a long-established, mostly residential area, and its aging drainage makes flooding a real concern in heavy rain. We handle water losses across all of it, from burst pipes and appliance leaks to storm and flood water, and take the job from extraction through drying and repairs.

Call and tell us your address and what happened. We will advise the immediate safety steps and get the recovery started.

Aging drainage and flood risk in 77051

Much of the drainage in the Sunnyside area was built in the 1950s and flows to Sims Bayou, and it now provides less than a ten-year level of service under today's rainfall standards. In plain terms, the system was not built for the storms the area sees, so streets and homes can flood when heavy rain comes faster than the drainage can carry it away. A large reconstruction of that drainage has been designed to improve it. 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.

Post-war homes in Sunnyside and South Union

Most of the housing in 77051 is post-war single-family homes in typical suburban street patterns, with some apartment complexes mixed in. These are generally slab homes, so water spreads across the floor and wicks up into the walls rather than travel between levels. Many are decades old with aging plumbing, so drying them well means finding the moisture that has soaked under flooring and into the base of the walls, and in homes that have flooded before, checking for lingering damp and mold.

First steps if you have water damage in 77051

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.
