Dickinson Bayou runs through the middle of a city whose land grant went to John Dickinson in 1824. Harvey hit Dickinson harder than almost anywhere else we work, and a great many kitchens here come from the rebuild.
What turns up in Dickinson homes, and how that affects a Thermador repair in this area.
Houston lies about 28 miles to the northwest and Galveston 19 miles southeast. Dickinson did not incorporate until 1977. The 2020 census counted 20,847 residents living in 8,249 housing units, and older single-story houses by the bayou share blocks with lots rebuilt or replaced after 2017.
Most of greater Dickinson is served by Galveston County WCID No. 1, which was created back in 1938. Wells fed it until 1983, when it turned to surface water. Today it buys treated Brazos River water, processed at the Gulf Coast Water Authority's Mackey facility in Texas City.
Roughly 90 percent of Dickinson flooded in 2017 during Harvey, and the water destroyed about half the city. Appliances that sat in floodwater and were dried out instead of replaced can corrode quietly, so a breakdown years later may trace to that single week.
Many rebuilt kitchens received a whole new set at once, often a dishwasher, a range and a French-door refrigerator. We service those categories, plus wall ovens and hoods. Homes that stayed dry typically hold a single dishwasher and a range.
We come to Dickinson via I-45 and Highway 3, and most bookings receive a window the following day. The main east-west route is FM 517. Name the side of the bayou your house is on, because that decides which crossing we take.
A great deal of equipment here was purchased within months of each other during 2017 and 2018, and it is just now at the age when early wear shows up in drain pumps, door latches and ice maker valves. If one appliance in that batch misbehaves, check the others as well. When a dishwasher beeps or displays an error, copy the exact code before cutting power, since it tells us what to bring. A photo of the display works well too, and it keeps us from guessing.
We would not assume so. Water can quietly damage control boards, wiring and mounting hardware, and failures sometimes show up years later. Have it inspected and we document what we find.
Often it does. Drain pumps, latches and valves tend to go first. When we repair one, we glance at its neighbors so you can plan ahead.
The exact code or message, what the appliance was doing, and whether it still runs. A photo of the display is ideal. With that, we know which parts to bring.
