Surfside Beach homeowners and rental managers call us for KitchenAid refrigerators, ice makers, dishwashers, beverage centers and ranges. Contact us early, by form or by phone, and a three-hour arrival slot comes back to you.
Local housing, power events, water conditions, and installation styles all affect how we approach KitchenAid diagnostics here.
The village calls itself the Cradle of Texas Liberty because the Treaty of Velasco was signed at Fort Velasco, close to today's City Hall. About 640 people were counted in 2020, and the median age was near 58.

Surfside's water is bought from Freeport, itself part of the Brazosport Water Authority. A house closed up for weeks leaves water standing in its pipes.
When you return, run the KitchenAid dispenser a minute and dump the first batch of ice. If the water still seems stale, we change the filter and check the supply tube.
In 2008, Ike took out the front row of beachfront houses and shredded stretches of the Bluewater Highway, closed until May 2009. From the village to San Luis Pass, that highway runs 13 miles.

Getting to Surfside Beach means taking Highway 332 through Lake Jackson and Freeport, then about 12 more miles. The distance means we schedule ahead. Rental owners can book between guests when they explain how to enter and where the appliance is.
Second homes need their own routine. Before a long absence, turn off the supply to the refrigerator and washer, leave the dishwasher and washer doors ajar and empty the ice bin. Back home, start each appliance briefly and watch for drips, and ask a plumber to look at any shutoff valve that weeps at the wall.
Turn off the supply to the refrigerator and washer, leave the dishwasher and washer doors ajar and empty the ice bin. The refrigerator can stay on, but check it for drips and odor when you return.
It does, because sand collects in the drain pump and can scratch seals or jam the impeller. Shake out towels outdoors and clean the filters more often than the manual says.
