Between the Ship Channel and the San Jacinto
Channelview is an unincorporated community between the Houston Ship Channel and the San Jacinto River, along Interstate 10 west of Baytown. Flat ground and big rain mean street flooding comes on fast, and homes near the river and its sloughs take on water when the San Jacinto rises. If water came in from the street, it's flood water, handled as contaminated. If it came from a supply line, it starts clean but spreads under slab flooring.
