Harvey damaged roofs in 2017. Clogged lines overflow. Spring hail cracks shingles and dents gutters.
The Original Townsite has historic homes. Many Original Townsite homes are 19th- and early-1900s houses with raised wood floors, plaster walls and aging plumbing, while newer subdivisions have slab homes with attic HVAC. Gulf humidity keeps crawlspaces damp, and leaks under raised floors lead to mold and soft subfloors. Homes near the Guadalupe River face flood risk, and Hurricane Harvey's winds and rain damaged roofs across the city in 2017. Many homes have attic water heaters and AC units that overflow into ceilings when pans or drain lines clog, and older raised homes have plumbing exposed underneath where leaks soak the ground and feed mold.

Ceiling water damage repair questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Victoria?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Victoria Building division.
Do I need flood insurance in Victoria?
Homeowners policies exclude flood. Recent storms flooded many homes outside high-risk zones, so a separate flood policy is worth considering.
Will a water stain on the ceiling go away?
No. A stain means water got through, and the source needs fixing. After drying, the area needs stain-blocking primer and paint, or replacement if the drywall weakened.
Is a sagging ceiling dangerous?
Yes. Wet drywall can drop without warning. Keep people out from under it and relieve the water with a small hole into a bucket if it's safe.
