By submitting, you agree that Flood.co may contact you by phone or email about joining the network. We'll explain how job requests and fees work before you receive any jobs. See our Privacy Policy.

Network status in Houston: no operators are listed here yet. The network is being built, and we don't have job-volume figures for this area to share. We'll be upfront about what we see before you commit to anything.

How the marketplace works for operators

  1. Homeowners request jobs. They describe the work on Flood.co by ZIP and service.
  2. We turn it into a job brief. The request is structured the way an estimator would want it, not just a name and a phone number.
  3. The brief goes to a matching operator. It's routed to an operator in the network who covers that ZIP and does that service, not blasted to a list of companies.
  4. You quote and do the work directly. The job, and payment for it, are between you and the customer.

What's in a job brief

  • ZIP code and matched metro area
  • Service and urgency (right now, today, this week, scheduling)
  • Property type
  • When the water started, and where it came from
  • Whether water is still coming in or standing
  • How much of the home is affected, and what's wet
  • Insurance claim status: yes, no, or not sure
  • Mold signs: smell, visible, both, or none noticed
  • A short description in the homeowner's words
  • Photos, when provided (the same ones an insurer will want)
  • Contact details and consent to be contacted

The Houston market: what jobs look like

Houston water work is storm-driven: quiet stretches, then many calls at once after a big rain or tropical system. Slab homes, humidity, and flood-insurance claims are routine context.

Common job drivers

  • Flooding here can come from rainfall, bayou and creek overflow, and tropical systems; the Harris County Flood Warning System shows rainfall and water levels in real time.
  • Slab-on-grade homes flood at floor level: flooring, baseboards, lower drywall, and cabinets take the water.
  • Hot, humid air slows drying and favors mold, so the EPA's 24–48 hour drying window matters.
  • Plumbing leaks and slab leaks cause water damage between storms.

Area context

The Houston area spreads across city neighborhoods, unincorporated Harris County, and master-planned communities in neighboring counties. Which government issues a permit, or whether an HOA has a say, can change from one street to the next.

Texas rules your customers will ask about

  • Texas licenses mold assessors and remediators through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation: Mold Assessors and Remediators.
  • TDLR's FAQ says that in most instances, visible mold covering less than 25 contiguous square feet can be cleaned by people who aren't licensed, and that exemptions apply to some residential properties, including houses and buildings with fewer than 10 rental units (TDLR: Mold FAQ). Ask any company which rule they're working under.

Sources and official contacts

What Houston homeowners ask about

From our homeowner guide for Houston.

Does my homeowners policy cover flooding in Houston?

Usually not. FloodSmart, the National Flood Insurance Program's site, says most homeowners insurance doesn't cover flood damage, which is why flood insurance is a separate policy. Water from a burst pipe is a different claim; check your policy.

Where can I see flood risk for my Houston address?

FEMA publishes official flood maps, and the Harris County Flood Control District has local flood risk and project information.

Pricing and fees

Operators, not homeowners, pay to receive job requests. We haven't published pricing yet. We'll go over fees with you before you receive any job, and sending the interest form costs nothing.

Joining the network in Houston

Can I get job requests from Houston through Flood.co?

That's what this page is for. Send your company details and service area, and we'll follow up about routing Houston job briefs to you. The network is new, so we'll be clear about request volume before you commit.

Do I need an office in Houston?

No. You need to actually serve Houston or the ZIP codes you choose. We won't list you anywhere you don't work.

Who pays?

Homeowners don't pay. Operators pay to receive job requests. We haven't published pricing; we'll go over it with you before you receive any jobs, and filling in the interest form doesn't commit you to anything.

Can I join for water only, or mold only?

Yes. Choose water damage, mold, or both. Mold briefs only go to companies that do mold work, and in states that license mold assessment or remediation, we'll check your license first.

Towns this page covers

The Houston guide covers the whole metro area, including Katy, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Pearland, Cypress. We don't publish separate town pages.
