Two different places on the bay. Clear Lake is inside the City of Houston — annexed in the NASA years — and its 26,000 homes are a third 1980s, 53% built between 1980 and 1999. League City is its own city in Galveston County, 45,000 homes, median 2003, mostly two-story product from the 2000s. Both are within a couple of miles of salt water, and that changes two specific things.
Salt air corrodes. The metal dampers on dryer vent hoods and roof caps seize in the bay zone faster than anywhere else in the metro, and a damper that will not open is a dryer that takes two cycles; a damper that will not close is a bird’s front door. That page is written for these streets. And the humidity is relentless: attic flex duct with a compressed or thin insulation blanket sweats on the inside here in a way it does not twenty miles inland, and a musty smell on startup in a Seabrook or El Lago house is more often condensation in a run than dust in it.
Clear Lake City, Brook Forest, the streets off Bay Area Boulevard: 1980s two-story houses on original flex at forty years, past its rated life. The honest visit is an assessment, and the likely answer is that the branches are replaced and the plenums and any metal are cleaned. Clear Lake also lies inside Houston, which matters for nothing on this site except that the water and permitting authority is the city rather than the county.
Tuscan Lakes, South Shore Harbour, Westover Park, Mar Bella: two-story, two systems, flex at fifteen to twenty years, laundry upstairs venting through the roof. The first-cleaning case, with the crew checking the runs and, in this zone, checking the roof cap’s damper while they are up there.
Look for sweating flex before booking a cleaning. Condensation inside a run is a repair, not a dust problem.
Assessment. Forty-year-old flex is a replacement conversation; the plenums and any metal trunk get cleaned.
