Humble and Atascocita sit along the West Fork San Jacinto River and Lake Houston — two water bodies that define both the lifestyle and the concrete conditions in northeast Harris County. Post-Hurricane Harvey, this area has an above-average rate of slabs with elevated moisture vapor emission, and contractors who don't test before coating create a lot of callbacks here.
Communities We Serve
Humble Proper
City of Humble with a mix of older neighborhoods (1950s–1980s) and newer development. Older slabs near downtown often have no vapor barrier and show elevated MVER. Full assessment required.
Atascocita
Large unincorporated community along Lake Houston and the San Jacinto River. 1980s–2000s builds predominate. Lake-adjacent lots carry higher moisture risk — we assess per lot, not per neighborhood.
Kingwood
Master-planned community with homes from the 1970s through 2010s. Harvey flooding affected many Kingwood garages — post-flood slabs may have residual moisture or surface contamination from flood sediment.
Fall Creek
Newer master-planned community east of Atascocita. Modern slab construction (2000s–2020s) with vapor barriers standard. Good candidates for chip/flake and metallic systems.
Eagle Springs
Planned community in northeast Humble. 2000s–2010s construction. Mixed soil conditions — some sections on clay, others on better-draining loam. We assess each property.
Summerwood
Large community adjacent to Lake Houston. Post-Harvey, several subdivisions here had significant flooding. We always check for flood-related slab contamination and residual moisture before applying coatings.
Post-Harvey Slab Considerations — Humble & Kingwood
Hurricane Harvey deposited sediment and held floodwater against thousands of slabs in this area for days to weeks. While years have passed, residual effects are still present in some garages:
- Flood sediment contamination: Silt and organic material embedded in the slab surface prevents epoxy adhesion — must be mechanically removed via diamond grinding.
- Elevated MVER: Slabs that were submerged can retain elevated moisture for years, especially in clay soil areas where drying is slow. MVER testing is mandatory for any post-Harvey property.
- Efflorescence: White salt deposits on the slab surface indicate ongoing moisture migration. These must be removed and the cause addressed before coating.
- Surface scaling: Flood exposure and repeated wetting/drying cycles can cause surface laitance. Diamond grinding removes the weak layer and exposes solid substrate.
