Why Houston homes are different

Much of the city drains through the Buffalo Bayou watershed, and low-lying areas near the bayous flood well before rainfall totals look dramatic on paper.

Inner-loop neighborhoods still have a mix of pre-1970s pier-and-beam homes with vented crawlspaces alongside newer slab-on-grade construction further out. Pier-and-beam crawlspaces trap humidity differently than a slab, and older homes rarely have vapor barriers down.
