From the 288 corridor to the bay: Pearland and League City are 2000s two-story stock on two systems, Friendswood flooded 3,000 homes in Harvey, and Clear Lake is 1980s houses inside the Houston city limits a mile from salt water.
Pearland’s median home was built in 2003 and 59% of the city went up between 2000 and 2019, mostly two-story and mostly on two systems, with Shadow Creek Ranch and Silverlake now fifteen to twenty years into their flex duct. League City is the same profile, median 2003. Friendswood is older, median 1991, and it is where Harvey hit hardest in this zone: seventeen inches in twenty-four hours, Mary’s Creek at a record, roughly 3,000 homes flooded, and a lot of drywall dust into a lot of 1970s-to-1990s ductwork afterward. Clear Lake is inside Houston, 53% built 1980 to 1999, and it has the bay: salt air corrodes dryer vent dampers, and humidity finds every gap in an attic duct.
Manvel, Iowa Colony and Alvin along 288 are the new-build edge, Meridiana and Sterling Lakes framed within the last decade. They are covered from this zone; their duct question is the builder’s.
It means dryer vent dampers stick and attic duct sweats where the insulation is thin. Neither is a cleaning interval; both are things to have looked at.
If they were under water and are still in place, replacement. If the attic stayed dry and the rebuild put drywall dust through them, a cleaning.
On request. It is forty miles from the nearest contractor in this zone, so say so on the call.
Say the suburb and what you are seeing. The scope comes back in writing from the contractor who covers this part of the metro.
