We repair Sub-Zero refrigerators, freezers, drawers, wine units and ice makers in Simonton and Valley Lodge. Call or book online, and we will fit you into a western route this week.
Local housing, power events, water conditions, and installation styles all affect how we approach Sub-Zero diagnostics here.
In 1850 the brothers James and Theophilus Simonton purchased 4,000 acres, and once trains arrived around 1888 the place shipped red potatoes. The city incorporated in 1979 and counted 647 residents in 2020.
Houses spread out on big lots, and a number were lifted onto higher foundations after floods. We plan for stairs and check that a tall built-in was anchored again after any rebuild.
Valley Lodge has no utility district, so homes draw from private wells and use septic systems. That untreated water reaches every ice maker and dispenser directly.
Well sediment blocks inlet screens and builds scale in fill tubes faster than city water does. We clean the screen, change the filter and may suggest a whole-house sediment filter.
The whole town sits inside the Brazos 100-year floodplain, with floods recorded in 1991, 1995, 2016 and during Harvey. Once the 2016 water receded, Valley Lodge owners whose damage topped half their home value had to raise or tear down before they could rebuild.
Refrigeration that stood in floodwater needs its wiring, motors and control board checked before use. We inspect each unit and tell you plainly what can be saved.
Kitchens vary from older ranch layouts to raised homes rebuilt after the floods. The rebuilt homes often have new built-in or counter-depth refrigeration.
Raised homes can shift slightly as they settle, which affects door seals on tall units. We re-level the refrigerator, adjust hinges and test the gaskets.
No stop on our Fort Bend map is farther west, and we get there on FM 1093 through Fulshear. River bridges and country roads make drive times hard to predict, so we phone to confirm a day ahead or later that week. Send directions to a house set back from the road, any gate code and a model plate photo.
Private wells bring sediment and minerals straight into refrigerator water systems. The inlet screen, filter and valve get checked before we test the ice maker fill. If well pressure is low or the pressure tank needs service, a plumber or well contractor should handle that first.
Well sediment and minerals block the inlet screen and fill tube. We clean them and recommend a sediment filter on the line.
Only after an inspection of the wiring, motors and control board. Some units come back fine, and some are not worth the cost.
A day or more, since it is our westernmost stop and we confirm road conditions first.
