Brays Bayou and a serious flood history in 77096
Brays Bayou runs through 77096, and Meyerland and the neighborhoods around it have flooded repeatedly, including during Tropical Storm Allison, the Memorial Day and Tax Day floods, and Hurricane Harvey. Homes closer to the bayou carry the most risk, and many have flooded more than once. In response, some homes have been rebuilt or raised, and the Brays Bayou channel has been widened as part of major flood-control work, but low-lying property near the water stays exposed. When flood water enters a home, it rises from the ground up and is often contaminated, and it soaks into flooring, drywall, and framing within hours, with mold able to begin growing within a day or two.

Ranch homes and rebuilt houses in 77096
The dominant housing here is the single-story ranch home, originally built in the 1950s and 1960s on established, tree-lined streets, along with a growing number of homes that have been renovated, rebuilt, or elevated after past flooding. An older slab home takes water in across the floor, while a newer, raised, or two-story home changes where the water goes. Because the area has flooded before, part of the work is drying not just the visible water but the moisture that has soaked into slabs, subfloors, and the base of walls.
First steps if you have water damage in 77096
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.
