Mission Bend lies on the Fort Bend and Harris county border, roughly four miles northwest of Sugar Land city hall, and is a settled suburb of close to 37,000 residents. The houses have aged enough that second- and third-generation appliances are common in the kitchens.
What turns up in Mission Bend homes, and how that affects a Thermador repair in this area.
Mission Bend took shape in the 1980s, as the suburbs pushed west. The 1990 census, the first to list it as a place, found 24,945 residents. Population has hardly moved since 2010, which leaves the housing stock settled, with an appliance replacement or two already behind most households.
Groundwater comes from Mission Bend MUD No. 1, whose roughly 670 acres reach into both counties. MUD No. 2 was created in 1977 and covers about 738 acres, all in Harris County. Both districts post an annual water report for residents.
Flat ground near the county line leaves Mission Bend dependent on district ditches and detention. After a rainy week we look for rust at the base of garage refrigerators and freezers, and for damp cords before any test run, since moisture is the usual warning.
Compact kitchens from the 1980s were laid out for a dishwasher 24 inches wide and a range 30 inches wide, which are our usual jobs. A chest freezer or spare refrigerator in the garage is also common, and we service them as well.
Mission Bend is bounded by the Sam Houston Tollway and Highway 6, and has a METRO Park and Ride. Our Southwest Houston routes run close by, so we can frequently arrive the same day, and the following day is our fallback. For directions on the Fort Bend side, George Bush High School is a handy landmark.
The housing stock is 35 to 45 years old now, and the hookups show it. Some gas ranges are still connected with rigid or older flexible connectors, and shut-off valves behind dishwashers can be stiff or weeping. During any repair we examine those parts and describe what we see, since a tired gas line or a seized valve can hold back even a brand-new appliance.
Only if your address could be confusing. We book by street, and the visit, price and warranty come out the same whichever county your street falls in.
Often. Dusty condenser coils, a tired fan motor or a worn door gasket are the usual causes. We test each in turn and put the cost in writing before any part is ordered.
Frequently, if you call early, since Southwest Houston routes pass right beside Mission Bend. Otherwise it is next-day. Our own 30-day warranty on workmanship follows every finished repair.
