But some subdivisions, particularly in east Conroe, are struggling to recover after taking on as much as 4 feet of water, residents say.
Ladera Creek
On Sept. 20 in Ladera Creek, a new subdivision in east Conroe, residents were removing carpet, sheetrock and baseboards from flood-damaged homes.
The neighborhood did not flood during Hurricane Harvey, but one resident's mother said she estimates 18 homes flooded Sept. 19.
Resident Santos Canales said his home did not flood, but he watched with unease as waters rose and entered his neighbors' homes.
Flood levels reached about 4 feet.[/caption]"We had about 4 feet of water out here," one resident said. "We were sweeping water out."
Trinity Park
Residents of Trinity Park said they need help cleaning and restoring their flooded neighborhood.[/caption]Residents of Trinity Park, a mobile home park in east Conroe, said they feel the city is not doing enough to help mitigate flooding in the neighborhood, which also flooded during Harvey and the Memorial Day floods.
Residents said flood waters started receding late afternoon Sept. 19, but now the community is left with trash, debris and damaged homes.
Jessica Ayala, who lives in Trinity Park, said she had to wade through knee-deep waters while carrying her baby to seek shelter at a relative's house.
On Sept. 20, a crew was outside repairing her home, but debris remained.
"[We need] more help with cleaning," she said. "The water left, the trash is here."
Once flood waters receded, trash and debris remained at Trinity Park.[/caption]Ericka Castro, who has lived in Trinity Park for three years, said the neighborhood needs help with repairs and cleaning.
"The landlord should be coming," she said. "They don't come, ... so we have to do all the clean up. All our trash cans are in the creek."
Castro said water got up to her porch steps but did not enter her home. However, bottom portions of her home had been swept away in the flood.
"It got all the way up to the porch," she said. "It got really bad."

One resident estimates a dozen homes flooded.[/caption]Sunny Conti, a resident of the Deer Trail II subdivision, said in an email about a dozen homes flooded.
