Memorial runs along Buffalo Bayou west of the 610 Loop, taking in the six Memorial Villages and the wider Memorial corridor. The Addicks and Barker reservoirs sit directly upstream, which makes water behave differently here than anywhere else in Houston.
Memorial covers Bunker Hill Village, Piney Point Village, Hunters Creek Village, Hedwig Village, Hilshire Village and Spring Valley, plus the broader Memorial corridor along Memorial Drive. Lots are large, homes are frequently custom-built, and mature live oaks shade almost every street.
The defining event here was August 2017. When the Army Corps of Engineers began a controlled release from Addicks and Barker to protect dam integrity, thousands of Memorial homes flooded that had never taken water before. Depth and duration were both unusual — some homes stood in four feet of water for well over a week, which pushes a job from extraction straight into structural drying and selective demolition.
That history matters for scope. A home that has flooded once from a reservoir release often has cavities that were never fully dried the first time. We open wall cavities and check subfloor moisture content rather than assuming a clean slate, because trapped moisture from a previous event will read as new damage and behave like a mold reservoir.
We confirm the Memorial address and dispatch the nearest crew immediately.
Source identified and stopped, then moisture mapping and thermal imaging across every affected assembly.
Standing water removed, contaminated materials contained, and drying equipment placed to a written plan.
Moisture readings logged every day until the structure reaches documented dry standard — not until the equipment looks done.
Full moisture log, photographs and scope handed over before anything is closed up.
We hold a 60-minute target across Memorial and the Villages. Memorial Drive and the I-10 frontage give us reliable access even when side streets are still holding water.
Almost always because a cavity was closed before it reached dry standard. We take moisture readings inside wall and subfloor cavities rather than at the surface, which is where post-Harvey rebuilds most often fall short.
Yes. Emergency mitigation — extraction, drying, containment — proceeds immediately. Anything affecting the exterior is scheduled around the relevant Village approval process.
Each page covers how that service actually runs in Memorial — the housing stock, the access, and who usually calls.
