Bay water or a hurricane leak in a La Porte home? Leak, flood or surge, one number.

A Bay Town Across the Ship Channel
La Porte faces Galveston Bay, and its oldest neighborhoods sit close to the water around Sylvan Beach. When a hurricane pushes surge into the bay, La Porte's shoreline is among the first places it reaches. Parts of the city east of Highway 146 are inside TWIA's windstorm coverage area, one of the few Harris County cities included. If you're near the bay, saltwater and surge are the outside risks; inland, it's heavy rain and the usual slab-house leaks.
