Downtown Houston CBD (77002, 77010) is the financial and corporate heart of the city. Office towers, the underground tunnel system, historic district buildings, and ground-floor retail define the water damage landscape. Commercial direct billing, after-hours operations.
Downtown Houston covers the CBD office district, Theater District, historic district, sports complex, and convention center area. The downtown tunnel system connects approximately 95 city blocks underground — tunnel-level flooding can affect dozens of buildings simultaneously.
Major events: Allison 2001 caused catastrophic tunnel system flooding ($300M+ to Memorial Hermann alone). Harvey 2017 affected ground-floor and below-grade levels. Office tower plumbing failures, HVAC chiller events, and weekend-discovery losses are routine.
