Along Waterfront Drive, shrimp boats unload at fish markets, while sailboats fill the marinas on Clear Lake. About three quarters of Seabrook's area is water, and a lot of homes have it in view.
What turns up in Seabrook homes, and how that affects a Thermador repair in this area.
Land makes up only about 5 of the city's 21 square miles, so neighborhoods squeeze into strips among marsh, Clear Lake and Galveston Bay. The little downtown has antique shops and bed-and-breakfasts. The postal area for Seabrook extends to El Lago and Taylor Lake Village as well.
Seabrook purchases treated surface water from Houston, which reaches it from the Southeast Water Treatment Plant and the Richey and Allen Genoa metering stations. Much of the wider Bay Area draws on that same Trinity River supply, handy to know when adjusting dishwasher settings.
Hurricane Ike put the city under mandatory evacuation on September 13, 2008. Debris and stranded boats later closed streets, the library needed rebuilding, and a few households waited up to a month for electricity and tap water. Anything that sat through the outage deserves a careful look before reuse.
After a long outage we are often asked to look over Thermador column refrigeration and freezers first, then wall ovens, ranges and dishwashers that went through the same storm. Waterfront homes also bring dishwashers and rangetops that need corrosion checks.
SH 146 runs through Seabrook between Kemah and La Porte, and our Clear Lake routes usually reach it within a day or two. During Keels and Wheels in May, and on crowded weekends by the water, we plan around traffic as best we can.
Days without power can leave appliances reluctant to restart. After a storm, unplug the large ones first, then reconnect them separately once the voltage settles. Refrigeration that warmed up may need its ice maker and water lines flushed, and spoiled food leaves odors in the gaskets. When an oven or refrigerator stays dead or flashes a code, call us. Diagnosis comes first, then a quote on paper. Tell us if the house sits right on the water, so we can pack for corrosion.
Look at the door gaskets, the drain line and the ice bin. Scrub the gaskets, change the water filter and throw out old ice. Uneven cooling suggests a fan or sensor worth testing.
Yes, a large share of our Bay Area work is exactly that. We bring salt-resistant hardware and look at wiring and connectors for corrosion during repairs.
Usually, and today is sometimes possible too. You approve the written price before work starts, and we guarantee labor on the repair for 30 days.
