Trusted Restoration in Katy
Katy is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, stretching across three counties west of Houston. The area's explosive growth has placed new construction neighborhoods alongside the Addicks and Barker Reservoir system — a combination that made the area one of the hardest-hit zones in Hurricane Harvey.
Neighborhoods west of I-10 near Cinco Ranch, Firethorne, and Elyson are generally better-elevated than older Katy communities near the reservoirs. The rapid pace of construction also means more plumbing defects, faulty appliances, and first-season HVAC failures than in more established neighborhoods. Rhino has responded to hundreds of Katy-area water damage calls and understands the local drainage patterns and common failure points.

Questions From Katy Customers
My Katy home is near the Addicks Reservoir — are we at higher flood risk?
Properties immediately adjacent to the reservoir fringe do carry elevated flood risk during major storm events. Harvey demonstrated this definitively. We recommend maintaining a flood insurance policy regardless of your FEMA flood zone designation, and knowing your evacuation plan.
How do you respond to Katy given the distance from Houston?
We maintain equipment and crews staging closer to the Katy area, enabling 45-minute response to most Katy neighborhoods. Cinco Ranch, Firethorne, and Elyson are all within our standard response radius.
My new Katy build has a leak — is that covered under the builder's warranty?
New construction typically carries a 1-year workmanship warranty and a 2-year systems warranty. However, waiting for the builder to respond can allow significant secondary damage. We respond immediately, document the cause, and can provide reports that support a builder warranty claim.
