What Crystal Beach homes change about a La Cornue repair
Local housing, power events, water conditions, and installation styles all affect how we approach La Cornue diagnostics here.
Weekend owners and half-empty streets
Around 80 percent of property owners have been counted as weekenders, so many houses sit empty midweek. The community incorporated in 1971, disincorporated in 1987 and today gets water from the Bolivar Peninsula utility district.
If you are a weekend owner, tell us when someone can be at the house, since we cannot work in a locked kitchen. A photo of the rating plate and the fuel type let us plan the first visit even when you are on the mainland.
Ike, pilings and ground-floor exposure
Hurricane Ike in 2008 destroyed about 90 percent of the beachfront homes, and rebuilt houses stand on 20-foot pilings. The living level is high, but anything stored on the ground floor faces salt, sand and surge, and a range can be affected by an outage or by water reaching the kitchen.
After storm power returns, check whether the burners and oven light, and keep the range off if water reached the kitchen. We test the igniter, oven and any electric parts, and tell you whether the gas utility or an electrician must act first.
Crystal Beach stretches along Highway 87 in the middle of the Bolivar Peninsula. Most owners split their time between the beach and the mainland, so the house may be closed when you call. Put the contact at the house, any entry instructions and the data-plate picture into your request.
Because homes sit high, the range and its gas connection are on the upper floor, which we need to know before carrying tools. Expect us to watch the burners light, put a thermometer in the oven and test the thermostat before we name a cause. Wiring problems go to an electrician and gas smells go to the gas company; we pick up once those are cleared.
