No Houston neighborhood has been tested like Meyerland. Brays Bayou runs straight through it, and between the Memorial Day flood of 2015, the Tax Day flood of 2016 and Hurricane Harvey in 2017, large parts of the neighborhood took water three times in three years.
Meyerland was built out in the 1950s and 1960s as mid-century ranch housing on slab-on-grade foundations, set low and close to Brays Bayou. That combination — slab construction, low elevation, a bayou with limited historic capacity — is why the same streets appear on repetitive-loss lists year after year.
The neighborhood today is a patchwork. Some homes have been elevated several feet on new piers, some were demolished and rebuilt to current flood elevation, some were repaired in place after 2017, and some were never fully restored. Two houses next door to each other can need completely different scopes of work.
Bayou floodwater is Category 3. It carries sewage, bayou sediment and whatever the storm picked up upstream, which means porous materials that contacted it come out rather than getting dried in place, and the structure is sanitized before anything is closed up. Project Brays has widened and deepened long stretches of the channel since Harvey, but the flood risk here is reduced, not eliminated.
We confirm the Meyerland 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.
Considerably. We survey for residual moisture and prior repair quality before scoping, because incompletely dried cavities from an earlier flood will otherwise be sealed up again.
Always. Bayou floodwater is handled as Category 3 — porous materials that contacted it are removed, and the structure is sanitized before reconstruction.
It has meaningfully increased channel capacity and lowered risk along much of the bayou. It has not eliminated it, and we still respond to Meyerland addresses after heavy rainfall events.
