Common Causes of Flooding in Houston
Houston's proximity to the Gulf Coast makes the city vulnerable to heavy rainfall, hurricanes, and storm surges. The city’s urban landscape, characterized by paved streets and limited natural drainage, relies on storm drains to funnel away water. Storm drains can become overwhelmed during heavy rain, putting nearby structures at risk of flooding. Storm surge up the Houston Ship Channel during hurricanes is also possible—a risk that increases with hurricane strength.
In addition to storms, plumbing problems also cause flooding. Like any city, Houston experiences burst pipes and sewer backups in residences and commercial facilities. Did you know that burst washing machine hoses are the most common cause of interior residential flooding? Dishwashers and refrigerator water lines are also responsible for a significant amount of residential flood damage. These localized floods can severely damage property and require immediate water removal and drying services to mitigate damage and reduce health risks.

Water Extraction and Removal
