What Kingwood does
to a dryer.

Part of the land had belonged to the Foster Lumber Company before it was sold to the venture in December 1967.

Flooding in Kingwood in 2017 was made worse when the San Jacinto River Authority opened floodgates.

Oakhurst is counted as part of Kingwood and was built by the same developer, but it does not pay Kingwood Service Association fees.

Newer developments

As a development ages, its original dryers and vents reach the stage where lint buildup, worn rollers and tired thermal fuses appear together, and a single visit can deal with the machine and the duct at once.

Family houses

Family houses run the dryer almost daily, with school clothes, sports gear and bedding, so belts, rollers and heating parts wear faster than the machine's age would suggest. A squeal or thump that creeps in gradually is usually one of those parts.

Pool and beach towels

Where patios, lanais and outdoor kitchens wrap the house, the dryer's exterior hood can end up beside a grill, under a deck or behind planters. Hot exhaust needs open air around it, and a hood tucked into a covered corner pushes lint and moisture back toward the wall.
