Water damage & mold help in Galveston, TX
Galveston sits on a barrier island on the Texas Gulf Coast. The 1900 hurricane was the deadliest disaster in U.S. history, and Hurricane Ike in 2008 flooded most of the island. Beryl in 2024 brought wind and long outages. Surge, humidity and historic homes drive most water damage.

Galveston homes and water damage
The East End and Silk Stocking districts have Victorian homes, many raised. The West End has newer homes on stilts. Many East End and Silk Stocking homes are Victorian houses raised after the 1900 storm, with wood floors, plaster walls and plumbing exposed underneath. West End homes on stilts have plumbing and ducts exposed to wind, salt air and leaks. Historic homes need careful drying to avoid damaging original materials. Salt air also corrodes outdoor pipes, fixtures and HVAC equipment faster than inland.
Storm surge
Ike's 2008 surge flooded most of the island.
Hurricane wind
Strong winds tear roofs and siding.
Tidal flooding
High tides flood low streets.
Humidity and mold
Gulf humidity grows mold quickly.
Historic home damage
Victorian homes need careful drying.
Power-outage problems
Beryl's 2024 outages shut off AC for days, letting humidity and mold build up in closed homes.
Freeze bursts
Rare hard freezes, like February 2021, burst pipes under raised homes and in exterior walls.

Galveston questions

Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Galveston Building Division.
Do I need flood insurance in Galveston?
Yes. Homeowners policies exclude flood, and the whole island is high risk.
