Behind a brand-new Brazos River levee, New Territory opened in 1989, has lakes woven through it, and became part of Sugar Land through annexation in December 2017. Its houses reflect about two decades of building, so kitchens run from fully original to completely remodeled.
What turns up in New Territory homes, and how that affects a Thermador repair in this area.
Roughly 4.8 square miles make up the community in all, with the Brazos running along part of the southern boundary. The first homes and the levee both date to 1989. Lakes and greenbelts separate the sections, and numerous houses back onto water or open ground.
New Territory gets water from a city-run system of its own, not Sugar Land's main one, and hardness is listed at 50 to 186 ppm. Reclaimed water for the lakes and common-area irrigation comes separately, from Levee Improvement District No. 7 of Fort Bend County, and is not for drinking.
The same levee district, Levee Improvement District No. 7 of Fort Bend County, maintains the levee and drainage that shield New Territory from Brazos flooding, erosion control along the riverbank included. The lakes help hold rainwater, yet humidity stays high, which is hard on refrigerator condenser coils.
Dishwashers account for most calls here, followed by French-door refrigerators and then ranges, mostly slide-in models. Kitchens that have been updated more often call for gas or induction cooktops, such as a Freedom, and for wall oven combinations.
Highway 6 and the Southwest Freeway bring us in, and the main boulevard keeps navigation easy. Because many houses back onto lakes or green space, the front driveway is normally all the technician needs for parking. City services changed with the 2017 annexation, but an appliance visit runs exactly as it did before.
With homes now 20 to 35 years old, you will find original builder layouts next to later remodels. Replacing an aging dishwasher is a good moment to look at the drain line and supply valve as well, since both often date back to the original construction. We inspect them during every installation or repair and let you know if either needs attention before it turns into a leak.
Not for the appliance visit itself. You call, we confirm the address and window, and the written price, diagnosis and warranty all work as before.
The city lists hardness between 50 and 186 ppm, so match the dishwasher's hardness setting to that range. We check it during a visit, along with the rinse aid level and filter.
Clear access to the appliance and note when the trouble began. The evening before, we phone to confirm the arrival window, and our own 30-day workmanship warranty stands behind the finished repair.
