What we can and cannot say about your street
We keep this page modest on purpose. We are not going to guess at flood risk, builders or building dates for your address. Those details vary from house to house, and wrong guesses can cost you.
Here is what is reasonable to say. Seven Meadows is in the Katy area and is made up largely of newer construction. In general, newer homes share some traits that matter when water gets in. They are often built tight, with supply lines in the attic or walls, air handlers above the ceilings and slab foundations. Beyond that, ask the pro and check your own records.
A quick map of where leaks tend to hide
Think of the house as three levels and walk through it.
Overhead
If a ceiling has a brown ring or sags, water may be pooling above it. Common sources are an air conditioner drain line, a roof leak or a supply line in the attic. Read about ceiling water damage and AC drain overflow. Do not poke at a bulging ceiling from underneath. It can release a lot of water at once.
Walls and fixtures
Dishwasher lines, ice maker lines, toilet supplies and washer hoses fail quietly. Look for soft baseboards, bubbling paint and musty odor.
Floors
Laminate and engineered wood that cups or buckles often points to moisture below. A slab leak can show as a warm spot or a hum of running water.
Flood information for your address
Do not rely on what a neighbor says about water. Use the public tools instead.
- Check your address on the county flood information tools.
- Look at FEMA flood maps.
- Ask your insurer whether you have flood coverage. Standard homeowners policies typically do not include it.
If you are not sure which county or agency applies to your address, ask the pro and check your closing documents.
Questions to ask the pro
- Can you show proof of insurance and IICRC certification?
- How will you find hidden moisture and document it for my claim?
- What would you remove, and what would you dry in place?
- What is your availability, and what will the next steps be?

Frequently asked questions
Which county is Seven Meadows in?
Check your property records or the county flood information tools for your address. Do not rely on a mailing address alone.

No. We are a referral service. An independent company does the work and sets its own terms.
What should I do while I wait to hear back?
Stop the water if you can, take photos, and keep people away from wet electrical areas.
