The Cypress, TX Prevention Guide
The highest-value prevention measures for this climate, ranked by what actually stops the losses we get called for.
Highest value first
If you do only a few things:
- Install an automatic water shut-off valve with leak sensors
- Replace rubber washing machine hoses with braided stainless every five years
- Replace water heaters at ten years, especially attic and upstairs installations
- Fit a float switch on the HVAC condensate pan
- Keep indoor relative humidity between 30 and 50%
Seasonal maintenance
Flush condensate lines with vinegar every couple of months in cooling season. Clear gutters twice a year, more under tree canopy. Check the water heater pan and supply connections quarterly. Test the sump pump before storm season.
Before hurricane season
Photograph every room for your records, trim limbs overhanging the roof, confirm whether you hold flood coverage, and locate your water and gas shut-offs while it is calm and daylight.
