Montrose (77006) is Houston's eclectic inner-loop neighborhood with thousands of 1920s-30s bungalows, mid-rise condos, and modern infill. Older plumbing, urban drainage flooding, and historic-property restoration define Montrose water damage scope.
Montrose (77006) combines 1920s-30s craftsman bungalows on tree-lined streets with mid-rise condos, modern townhomes, and commercial. The neighborhood is bordered by Buffalo Bayou to the north and feeds urban storm drains during heavy rain. Many properties have been renovated multiple times.
Urban drainage capacity in Montrose dates from the 1930s-50s — when modern storms overwhelm the system, streets flood and water enters homes through low elevations, garage thresholds, and pier-and-beam crawl spaces. Memorial Day Flood 2015, Tax Day 2016, and Harvey 2017 all caused widespread Montrose flooding.
