Flood-damaged homes we have Closed & Funded across Greater Houston

From Westbury and Northwood Manor to North Shore and Galveston’s West End, these are real closings across Greater Houston.

Why It's Hard to Sell a House That Flooded in Houston

Houston has flooded again and again in living memory, so buyers here watch for it more closely than almost anywhere. That changes the sale in ways most owners don't expect.

Trap #1

You Have to Disclose It, and Buyers Walk

Texas sellers must disclose past flooding, flood damage and whether the home is in a flood zone. It's the law and the right thing to do, but in Houston many buyers walk away the moment they read it, especially if it flooded more than once.

Trap #2

Flood Insurance Shrinks What Buyers Can Pay

In a flood zone, a buyer with a federally backed mortgage generally must carry flood insurance. That premium goes into their monthly payment, so a higher premium means a smaller loan: fewer buyers and a lower price, whatever the condition.

Half-Finished Repairs Kill the Loan

Plenty of Houston homes have sat since Harvey with drywall cut out and studs exposed. No lender will finance that, so the houses that most need selling are the ones the regular market can't buy.

Doing It Again Is Worse

For repeat-flood homes, it's not just the money. Gutting, drying out, replacing everything and living elsewhere a second or third time is what usually decides it.

The Damage You Can't See

Water gets into wall cavities, under slabs and into subfloors. Mold starts within days in Houston's humidity, and a house that looks dry can hide damage until a wall is opened. That's exactly when a normal sale falls apart.

A cash sale skips all of it. See what your house would bring →

Three Flooded Houses, Three Different Decisions

Sell a flood-damaged house in Houston – Valley Forest Dr home in Parkwood East that flooded and then burned, closed as-is for cash with Volcan Property BuyersClosed in 13 days
Parkwood East, Houston

Flooded, Then a Fire

Some houses never recover from one hit before the next arrives. This one flooded, then had fire damage on top, which put it beyond any buyer needing a mortgage. We closed as-is.

Flood-damaged home on Gaston St in Northwood Manor, Houston TX, sold by an out-of-town family and closed for cash with Volcan Property BuyersClosed in 17 days
Northwood Manor, Northeast Houston

Managed From a Distance

An elderly owner could no longer live alone safely, and the family was managing the flooded house from out of the area. Nobody could take on a repair project, so we closed as it stood.

Flooded home on Maple Way in Woodforest, North Shore TX, closed for cash with a seller leaseback by Volcan Property BuyersClosed in 10 days
Woodforest, North Shore

Sold, but Stayed in the House

Flooding usually forces a choice: sell and move, or stay and pay for repairs. This owner wanted neither, so we closed and arranged a leaseback so they could stay put.

Where We've Closed Flood-Damaged Homes

From Westbury, Northwood Manor, Parkwood East, Edgebrook and Lake Forest in Houston, out to North Shore and down to Galveston's West End, we buy flood-damaged houses as-is across Greater Houston.

Water Damage That Didn't Come From a Flood

We also buy houses where the water came from inside or above: a burst supply line in Briargrove Park, years of roof leaks in South Park, an inherited Hidden Valley home with water damage in several rooms and a failed roof on a South Central Houston rental.

Explore the Areas We Serve

Flooded Once, Twice or Never Fixed

Homes that flooded once, homes that flood again and again, and homes that never got fully repaired. Inside the floodplain or out, with flood insurance or without, we'll buy your flood damaged house as is, anywhere within about a two-hour drive of Houston. If it's sitting empty, see selling a vacant house. Call or text 346-360-4444 for a cash offer within the hour.

Why Houston Homeowners With Flood Damage Sell to Volcan

Flood History Doesn't Scare Us Off

You still disclose it, but it won't send us running. One flood or three, we already expect it, and it doesn't change our answer.

No Flood-Insurance Math

We pay cash, so there's no buyer's lender, no required flood policy and no premium shrinking the price. Flood zone or not, the offer works the same.

No Flood Policy? Claim Denied? Fine.

Plenty of the homes we buy had no flood insurance or a denied claim. If a claim is still open, we'll help you work through it.

Mold Is Our Problem, Not Yours

We're not moving into it. Remediation happens after closing, at our cost. You don't pay for testing or treatment first.

You May Be Able to Stay

We've closed on a flooded house and leased it straight back to the owner, like on Maple Way in North Shore. Ask early if that would help.

Should You Repair It One More Time? An Honest Test

Repairing is often the right call when all three of these are true. If repairing is better for you, we'll say so.

If it has flooded once, insurance covered it and you love the house, repairing is often the right call. The math changes with repetition. Each flood tends to cost more than the last as materials and labor rise, premiums climb after every claim, and your flood disclosure gets longer each time, which lowers what the house will eventually sell for no matter how well it’s repaired. Then there’s the part nobody puts in a spreadsheet: doing it a third time, living elsewhere while it happens, and waiting through the next hurricane season wondering. We’ll give you a number and let you weigh it, and if repairing is the better outcome for you, we’ll say so. Some of the homes we’ve closed took both flood and fire damage, and if repairs were never finished and the house has sat empty since, see selling a vacant house.

Sell a Flood-Damaged House in Houston: Your Questions Answered

Can I sell a house that flooded without repairing it?

Yes. Most buyers can't get a loan on a flood-damaged house, but we pay cash, so there's no lender to object. Wet drywall, exposed studs, mold and half-finished repairs are all fine. Leave it exactly as it is.

Will you buy a house that has flooded more than once?

Yes. Repeat flooding is the hardest thing to sell around on the open market, and it's one of the most common reasons people call us. It doesn't change whether we're interested.

Do I have to tell buyers my house flooded in Texas?

Yes. Texas requires sellers to disclose previous flooding, flood damage and flood zone status, and you should always do so. With us, it's simply information we use to price accurately. It doesn't put us off.

Will being in a flood zone lower your offer?

Not the way it does with regular buyers. A buyer with a mortgage usually has to carry flood insurance in a flood zone, and that premium shrinks what they can borrow. We pay cash, so that math doesn't apply. We price the house on its condition and location.

I never had flood insurance, or my claim was denied. Does that matter?

No. A large share of the flooded homes we buy had no flood policy or a denied claim. It doesn't change our offer process.

What if my flood claim is still open?

Tell us where it stands, and we'll help you work through it. If the house is paid off, you can usually sell now and settle the claim later. If there's a mortgage, the lender has a say in the insurance money, so the claim and payoff get sorted out before closing.

Can I sell but stay in the house?

Sometimes, yes. We've closed on a flooded home and leased it back to the owner so they didn't have to move, like on Maple Way in North Shore. Whether it works depends on the property and your circumstances, so raise it early.

My house still has damage from Harvey. Is it too late to sell?

Not at all. We still see houses that were gutted after Harvey and never finished. That's exactly the condition regular buyers can't finance, and it's normal for us. Learn more about selling a house as-is.

How fast can you close on a flooded house?

On your timeline, in some cases as quickly as 1–2 business days once title is clear. Our fastest flood-damage closing took 10 days, on Maple Way. Call or text 346-360-4444, available 24/7.

We are licensed Texas real estate professionals, not attorneys, insurance adjusters or floodplain specialists, and nothing on this page is legal, insurance or financial advice. Seller disclosure obligations, flood zone designations, insurance requirements and how a settlement is treated on a sale depend on the property and your circumstances. Please confirm with your insurer, your mortgage servicer and a Texas real estate attorney before making decisions.
