North Houston weather can be beautiful one minute and a disaster the next. 🌩️ Heavy rain, strong winds, and flash floods can turn small home issues into costly disasters.

If you’ve ever watched a duck paddle around during a downpour, you might think, “Wow, lucky duck!” No wet socks, no umbrellas needed—just floating around without a care.

It’s a dark and stormy night. Your yard is filled with glowing pumpkins, eerie skeletons, and perfectly placed cobwebs. Suddenly, you hear a sinister sound… drip… drip… splash! The rain has turned your haunted masterpiece into a soggy, lifeless mess. 😱 Don’t let water damage ruin your spook-tacular setup!

Let’s talk about Texas soil, y’all—it’s not your regular dirt. In North Houston, we’ve got some serious clay-rich soil, which means when it rains, it’s like your yard turns into a sponge that just won’t let go.

Alright, North Houston, we might not have freezing temps in the fall (or even in the winter, let’s be honest), but don’t let that fool you—roof inspections are still a must! Think of your roof like a superhero cape—it’s keeping your home safe from the unpredictable weather, but if there’s a tear (aka a leak), trouble is just waiting to fly in.
