After 52 inches of rain fell on Houston during Hurricane Harvey late last month, residents have to make the choice of whether to repair or demolish their flooded homes.
According to U.S. News & World Report, homeowners will face difficulties with selling their homes, as buyers aren’t too motivated to purchase damaged properties, especially ones that could flood again if and when another hurricane hits.
Rebuilding will be an issue too, as many homes are still flooded. The region is expected to face a shortage of both labor and material in the coming months. Sheetrock, for example, will be hard to come by.
