Addicks / Park Ten is the westernmost part of Houston north of I-10, and most of it is Addicks Reservoir. Office parks line the freeway, and the homes sit in a few subdivisions and apartment complexes beside the reservoir's edge.
What we find in Addicks / Park Ten homes, and how it shapes a Bosch repair here.
Addicks began as a railroad stop named for postmaster Henry Addicks in 1884 and moved south in 1947 when the reservoir was built. Houston annexed the area in 1972. Census figures show most homes built from the 1980s through the 2000s, nearly half of them detached houses.
Check your water bill to see who supplies your home. If it is the City of Houston, the water is a treated blend of surface and groundwater; if a utility district is named, that district publishes its own annual water quality report, which lists what is in the supply.
Harvey filled Addicks Reservoir faster than it could be released in 2017, and water backed up into homes built on private land inside the reservoir basin. Thousands of homeowners learned then that they lived in a flood pool behind the dam, a risk worth knowing for any house nearby.
Houses from the 1980s through the 2000s here typically have a Bosch dishwasher, a gas or electric range and a refrigerator with a dispenser. Apartment units often have compact or basic Bosch dishwashers.
We reach Addicks / Park Ten from I-10 and Highway 6, and Park Ten Boulevard and Barker Cypress lead to the subdivisions and apartments along the reservoir’s edge. Bear Creek Pioneers Park inside the reservoir is an easy landmark when giving directions.
Houses here are reaching the age when original appliances and supply lines give out. A refrigerator ice maker that stops producing may simply need a new filter or a thawed water line, while a dishwasher that drains slowly may have a clogged filter or a kinked hose. We check simple causes first. If your home took water in 2017, let us know when booking, since outlets and floor-level connections from that time can still cause trouble.
Outlets, wiring and floor-level water connections that sat in floodwater can corrode over time. We inspect appliance connections during our visit and recommend an electrician if the problem is in the house wiring.
Not always. A clogged filter, a frozen fill tube or a closed valve can stop ice production. We check those first and give you a written price if a part is needed.
