If you need a plumber near Greens Bayou Greenway Houston, we respond fast to flood-prone areas. Our crews serve the 12-mile trail system from Thomas Bell Foster Park to the Greens Parkway trailheads. We work throughout Greater Greenspoint, Northshore, and East Houston neighborhoods along the greenway.
The Greens Bayou watershed covers 212 square miles prone to flooding. Many apartment complexes and older homes sit within the 100-year floodplain. Post-Harvey homes need specialized flood mitigation plumbing. The area's mature trees and unmaintained storm systems increase sewer backup risk.
We're available 24/7 for Greenspoint and Northshore emergency calls.
You own or rent in Greater Greenspoint's 42,569-person community. Your property may sit in areas that flood during 10-year storm events. We install plumbing systems that protect your home when Greens Bayou rises.
Backflow preventers stop sewage from entering your home when the bayou overtops. Sump pumps protect your below-grade spaces from groundwater intrusion. Emergency shutoff valves prevent water damage during rapid flooding. These systems work together to keep your family safe.
Three-quarters of multi-family housing along the greenway sits in the floodplain. Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 and Hurricane Harvey in 2017 caused catastrophic damage here. Harris County now has $115.7 million in active flood control projects for this watershed.

Call for flood mitigation plumbing throughout the Greens Bayou Greenway area. We're available 24/7 for emergency installations.
Your home was likely built between the 1970s and 1990s. You may live near the un-channelized sections of Greens Bayou. These properties face unique plumbing challenges from North Houston's soil and water conditions.
We use electronic leak detection to find hidden slab leaks without destroying your floors. Our equipment locates the exact leak point before we cut concrete. This saves you money on unnecessary demolition and repair work.
Early detection prevents foundation damage in the clay soil common to this area. Many Greenspoint homes sit on expansive clay that shifts with moisture changes. A hidden slab leak saturates the soil under your foundation. The clay expands and damages your home's structural integrity.
You live in heavily wooded areas where tree roots penetrate older pipes. The natural forest along the greenway creates beautiful surroundings but threatens your underground plumbing. Post-Harvey repairs may have stressed your aging under-slab plumbing systems.
Hidden leaks also spike your water bill. You pay for thousands of gallons flowing under your slab. We find and fix these leaks before they cost you thousands in wasted water and foundation repairs.

How we drive to you:
We reach the Greens Bayou Greenway area from our Houston location in just 11 minutes covering 7.6 miles. We take TX-8 Beltway W as our primary route because it stays fastest during traffic.

Hydro-jetting clears blockages from decades-old cast iron pipes. We blast high-pressure water through your lines to cut through roots and buildup. This method clears pipes without chemicals that damage aging systems.

The un-channelized Greens Bayou preserves natural forest unlike other Houston bayous. Trail restoration removed invasive species but mature trees remain near your home. Many homes date to the 1970s-1980s development boom around Greenspoint Mall's opening in 1976. Your older pipes face constant pressure from established root systems.
We'll show you exactly what's happening in your pipes before we start any work.
You're preparing for hurricane season from June through November. Your water heater sits in a ground-floor utility closet or garage. This location puts your equipment at risk during the next flood event.
