Woodloch is one of the smallest towns in Texas: 186 residents in 2020 and just three roads, North Woodloch Street, South Woodloch Street and Needham Road, which connects it to Highway 242. It incorporated in 1974.
What we find in Woodloch homes, and how it shapes a Bosch repair here.
The town covers less than a tenth of a square mile, with houses packed along its short streets. The West Fork of the San Jacinto River forms its eastern border, which explains much of the town's recent history.
Because the river is so close, water around the house is the main concern for Woodloch homeowners. Washers, dryers and water heaters that stood in floodwater should be inspected before use, even if they appear to run normally.
During Hurricane Harvey in 2017, a record release of 79,000 cubic feet per second from Lake Conroe pushed the San Jacinto over its banks, sending three to eight feet of water through every home in Woodloch and forcing the entire town to evacuate.
Houses rebuilt after the flood generally carry newer appliances than their age suggests. In a home this close to the river, setting the washer and dryer on pedestals is a sensible precaution.
Woodloch is a few minutes from I-45 by Highway 242 and Needham Road. Our technicians visit the next day after you call, and with only three streets in town, finding the house is quick.
Homes that have flooded deserve extra attention to everything behind the appliances: outlets, gas connections, water lines and dryer vents. Floodwater leaves silt in ducts and corrosion in electrical boxes that may not show up for months. When we repair an appliance in a home that has taken water, we look at those connections too and tell you about anything that needs a plumber or an electrician. Raising laundry on a pedestal is a reasonable precaution if the house sits low.
Look at the outlets and gas or vent connections behind them. Silt and corrosion can stay in ducts and boxes. If an appliance trips breakers or overheats, call us; we check both the unit and its connections.
In a home that sits low near the river, pedestals or a raised platform can keep the machines above minor water. They also make loading easier. We can advise on stable options.
Diagnosis, a written quote and, once you approve it, the repair itself. We also look over the connections behind the appliance and mention anything that needs a plumber. That work is covered for 30 days.
