Inside the property comes first
Keep clear of water near electrical equipment and avoid entering unsafe rooms. For immediate danger, call 911. A pipe leak, ceiling stain or wet floor needs a description of the affected materials, not an assumption that the city will handle indoor cleanup.
A Richmond utility contact is not a city-limit test
Fort Bend MUD 121 directs water-problem reports to Richmond and identifies Richmond utility contacts for River Park West. That is a district-specific example, not a rule for every Richmond address. Check the utility shown on your bill before choosing the public-system contact.
A blocked inlet is a different report
Richmond Street and Drainage maintains city drainage ditches and storm sewer inlets. If the concern is a public inlet or ditch, use the city reporting path with its location. Keep that report separate from a request to remove water or dry materials inside your building.
Describe the source without guessing
Tell the provider whether you saw a plumbing leak, rain entering, or water backing up. If the source is unknown, say so. Explain which floors, walls or contents are wet and whether water is still arriving; these details help identify the work to discuss.
Ask what drying will involve
An independent provider may discuss extraction, moisture checks and drying before repairs. Ask how it will assess affected materials and document progress. Confirm the proposed work and price directly; a utility report does not arrange or pay for private restoration.
What happens on the call
Share the Richmond address, ZIP code and incident details. Service fit and current capacity must be checked. Any business accepting the inquiry performs its own work and confirms timing, scope and charges; this site provides information and referral support.
