Crosby is an unincorporated town in the northeast corner of Harris County, east of Lake Houston and close to the San Jacinto. It began as a stop for trains and lumber, and a country feel survives even with new subdivisions rising nearby.
What turns up in Crosby homes, and how that affects a Thermador repair in this area.
Early on, the settlement went by Lick Skillet, then Gentry from 1860 in honor of a railroad-and-lumber executive, and finally Crosby. Lumber and farm goods left by rail from 1865. About 3,400 people live in the town core, but Crosby addresses extend far past it.
Since 1965 the Crosby Municipal Utility District has delivered water and sewer, pumping from two wells for around 1,500 connections. Houses beyond its boundaries may belong to other utility districts or use private wells, so confirm your own source before touching any hardness setting.
Harvey's floodwater in 2017 stopped refrigeration at the Arkema chemical plant, where organic peroxides then burned, prompting evacuation within 1.5 miles. For households the takeaway is that outages can run for days, so check freezer contents and refrigerator seals afterward.
Larger lots and rural-edge houses here lean toward spacious kitchens, which is where we work on Thermador ranges, wall ovens and dishwashers. Refrigeration and freezer units also top our list after outages that last for days.
US 90 and FM 2100 lead us to Crosby, at the far edge of our northeast circuit. Expect a visit the following day, or the same day if a technician is working near Lake Houston or Huffman. Country lanes and long drives are tricky to spot, so a landmark or gate code is a real help.
On well water, minerals can coat a dishwasher and make an ice maker’s fill valve sluggish. Rinse aid, a correct hardness setting and timely filter changes avoid many service calls. After days without electricity, empty and wash out the refrigerator before plugging it in, then let the compressor settle. Still warm after a day? Phone us. We locate the cause and send a price on paper first.
Yes, Crosby and the area around it are inside our coverage. Count on the next day, sooner if a technician is close. A landmark helps us find you.
