Before your first call

Describe the floor, then the access.

If your home has a raised floor, mention wet wood, an odor below the room, or a known crawlspace opening. Ask whether the underside needs a moisture assessment. In a townhome, identify each affected level and any shared wall. You can describe what you see without opening walls or entering a crawlspace.

  • Give the street address and the best driveway or alley entrance.
  • Name the flooring: wood, tile, carpet, or another finish.
  • Mention ceiling stains below an upstairs leak and any locked access.

Check the bayou and the street separately.

For a property near White Oak Bayou, the district’s watershed page provides local drainage context. Use the Flood Warning System to look up rainfall and channel readings near the address, and TranStar for road information. A nearby gauge reading does not establish whether your home or its entrance is safe.
