Check whether a specific Houston-area address took on water during Hurricane Harvey in August 2017, using a published hydraulic Harvey flood model.
Free lookup. No account required. Greater Houston coverage.
Hurricane Harvey dropped more than 50 inches of rain on parts of Houston and flooded well over 150,000 structures, many of them outside the mapped flood zone. Whether a home flooded in Harvey is one of the most useful facts a buyer can have, and it rarely appears on a listing. This free tool tells you whether a specific address was flooded in Harvey, using a published hydraulic flood model. The exact modeled flood depth is included in the full report.
Floodfolio checks the location against a published hydraulic Hurricane Harvey flood model and tells you whether it was flooded. The free result is a clear yes or no. The exact modeled flood depth at that point is part of the full report. This is a model, not an official survey or a property inspection.
Harvey was the clearest stress test Houston has had in a generation. A home that stayed dry through Harvey has a meaningful track record. A home that flooded, even if it is now repaired and outside the flood zone, carries information a buyer deserves before making an offer.
Enter the address above. Floodfolio checks a published hydraulic Hurricane Harvey flood model and tells you whether that location was flooded in August 2017. The exact modeled flood depth is included in the full report.
The Harvey flood depth is a published hydraulic flood model, not an official government survey. Government agencies do not publish flood depth for every individual address, so a model is the standard way this is estimated. The flood zone, elevation, and insurance-claim data in the full report do come from official FEMA and USGS sources.
No. The result comes from a flood model, not a property inspection. It is a strong signal, but localized drainage, the exact structure footprint, and repairs since 2017 are not captured. Treat it as research, not a guarantee.
Because the flood zone is a prediction and Harvey was a real event. Many homes that flooded in Harvey were outside the mapped high-risk zone. Past flooding is one of the strongest indicators of future risk.
Disclosure rules vary and depend on what the seller reports. This tool gives you an independent, model-based read so you are not relying only on a disclosure form.
