What to Know About Building on a Waterfront or Floodplain Homesite

Have you always dreamed of building a custom home overlooking the waterfront? You’re not the only one! Living on the water is a dream come true for many but for some, it can quickly turn into a nightmare. When Hurricane Harvey hit Texas in 2017, the 51 inches of rain it brought caused extreme flooding that damaged an estimated 150,000 homes. Since then, excessive rains and storms have continued to damage homes, especially those near the water.
