Report public drainage; describe indoor damage.
A bayou or channel blockage can be reported to Harris County Flood Control District. For a street inlet or roadside ditch, ask the city or county responsible for the road where to report it. For your cleanup call, describe water inside the home and affected materials. Reporting a drainage problem does not arrange extraction or drying at the property.
