Sandy Point's own street grid runs along FM 521 and County Road 42, and during a 2015 flood event the nearby Rosharon gauge on the Brazos River read 51.39 feet while those same roads sat closed and impassable. A house that's had water reach anywhere near its foundation, even without direct flood damage to the structure itself, can end up with a garage slab that settled slightly unevenly afterward — and an unevenly settled slab is a common, quiet cause of a door that won't seat flush no matter how clean the sensors test.
