Foundation repair in Montgomery, TX

Montgomery the city is not Montgomery the county, and it is not Conroe. It is a smaller historic community near Lake Conroe that has added a large share of its population only recently.

People search “Montgomery” for two different places: Montgomery County, whose county seat is Conroe, and the City of Montgomery, a separate incorporated city west of Conroe near Lake Conroe. This page is about the city and the homes immediately around it. If you live in Conroe proper, use the Conroe page instead.

City Population’s table of Census Bureau figures for incorporated places in Montgomery County lists the City of Montgomery at 1,937 residents in the April 1, 2020 Census and 3,105 in the July 1, 2025 population estimate. That is a small city limit compared with the much larger lake-area communities that share Montgomery mailing addresses and schools. Treat the 3,105 figure as a city-limits estimate republished from Census data, not as the size of the entire west-county housing market.

Montgomery’s historic core and the newer lake-area growth around it are different housing generations.

Older houses and newer houses share the same lake weather

Texas Tough reports that fewer than 2 percent of Montgomery County homes predate 1960, and that the pre-1980 stock is concentrated in older parts of Conroe and in the county’s smaller towns. The City of Montgomery is one of those smaller towns. If you own an older house near the historic square or along older residential streets, it is more likely than a brand-new subdivision home to be pier and beam or a conventional slab, and more likely to have aging plumbing. That is a tendency described at the county level, not a property-by-property inventory.

The same county now has a very large share of post-2000 slabs. Around Montgomery, that newer housing is part of the west-county growth that also shows up in Census building-permit totals (13,614 permits countywide in 2025). New houses on cut-and-fill lots can settle when fill compresses or when grading is left unfinished, which is why a recently built home can still need a foundation conversation.

Lake Conroe, trees, and moisture swings

Texas Tough, again summarizing soil-survey data, says about 3 percent of the county is water, much of it Lake Conroe. Homes near the lake and its coves deal with a wetter landscape, mature trees, and slopes that shed water toward the waterline or toward neighboring lots. The same source notes that a mature tree can dry soil under a slab in summer, and that on sandy soil, runoff on a sloped lot can wash soil from under a corner.

Flooding context also differs from a high, dry interior lot in north Conroe. Texas Tough mentions floods along the West Fork of the San Jacinto River and Spring Creek that saturate the ground, after which slabs can shift as the soil dries. Lake Conroe sits on that river system. We are not mapping floodplains on this page; homeowners can check official flood maps for a specific address. We are saying that lake-area drainage and wet-dry cycles belong in the inspection conversation here in a way they may not on a flat, newly graded inland lot.
