Formerly enslaved people founded Tamina in 1871 while building the Houston and Great Northern Railroad, which makes it a Texas freedmen's town. Its post office dates to 1897, and the state dedicated a historical marker for the Tamina Freedom Colony in December 2025.
What turns up in Tamina homes, and how that affects a Thermador repair in this area.
Tamina is unincorporated and sits between Shenandoah and Oak Ridge North, 8.5 miles south of Conroe and about a mile east of I-45. Many families trace their roots here across generations. Residents built their own churches and schools, and a Grogan-Cochran Lumber Company mill operated in Tamina starting in 1917.
Water arrived long before sewer service did. Until now, Tamina homes used septic tanks, with water purchased through the Old Tamina Water Supply Corporation. Federal recovery funds of roughly $21 million, shared by Montgomery County and Shenandoah, are paying for new water and sewer lines that started on Tamina Road in 2024.
Heavy rain strains septic systems. Before a house joins the new sewer, a dishwasher draining slowly in a wet week may be signaling trouble in the septic line instead of the appliance, so we trace the drain path before blaming the pump.
Older family houses here keep freestanding ranges, while newer construction brings us to dishwashers, gas cooktops, wall ovens and larger refrigerators. We work on the Thermador versions of each. We check the gas, water and power connections first.
Tamina is a short drive east of I-45, reached from Shenandoah or Oak Ridge North, and we schedule it for the day after your call. Mention Tamina Community Park, on Main Street, when giving directions. Please also give the street name and any gate details.
Once a house is hooked up to the new service, run the kitchen tap for a minute before the dishwasher starts, so sediment does not rush into the inlet valve. If the ice maker slows afterward, inspect the filter and inlet screen first. A dishwasher that drains sluggishly after plumbing changes may have a kinked drain hose or an altered link to the sink drain. Tell us if your home still uses a septic tank.
Fresh plumbing sheds sediment that can lodge in the inlet screen or valve. Cleaning or replacing the screen, then testing the valve, usually clears it. Letting the tap run first after line work prevents a repeat.
No. It belongs to our south Montgomery County run, along with Shenandoah and Oak Ridge North. Visits are set for the following day and we phone to confirm the window.
Your written quote arrives after diagnosis, and work waits until you agree. Workmanship that fails within 30 days gets corrected on our return visit. The quote lists parts and labor.
Request a visit online in about a minute or phone our coordinators. Close-in neighborhoods often see a same-day slot; the outer counties usually get the next day across Houston.
