Katy, Texas experienced catastrophic flooding during Hurricane Harvey when the Army Corps of Engineers released water from the Addicks and Barker Reservoirs — flooding thousands of homes that had no prior flood history. Many Katy homeowners received water for the first time not because of the storm directly, but because of the controlled reservoir releases downstream. The resulting damage — Category 1 and 2 water throughout, followed by rapid mold growth in Houston's August heat — required immediate, professional response.
Our team understands Houston's flood history and applies lessons from major Gulf Coast storm events to today's restoration work. We understand the specific construction patterns in Katy's post-1990s subdivisions: slab-on-grade foundations, engineered lumber framing, and paper-faced drywall that is highly susceptible to mold when moisture is not professionally dried within 48 hours.

Katy flood risk: reservoir releases and rapid development
Katy's flood risk is shaped by two converging factors: the Addicks and Barker Reservoirs immediately to the east, and the rapid residential development of previously agricultural land that has reduced natural water absorption. During Harvey, the Army Corps made the unprecedented decision to perform controlled releases from both reservoirs to protect downtown Houston infrastructure, flooding thousands of homes in the Katy area that were outside mapped flood zones. This created significant insurance disputes — many homeowners had no flood insurance because their properties were not designated SFHA. Our documentation protocols specifically address this scenario, establishing the mechanism of flood damage (controlled release versus rising natural floodwater) for insurance purposes.
