Houston''s climate writes the home-services to-do list: relentless heat, high humidity, and real flood risk mean AC, drainage, and foundation work stay near the top all year.
What is different about Houston
- The heat: AC is not optional, and a summer failure is an emergency. An annual tune-up before May pays off.
- Flooding and drainage: low, flat, and prone to heavy rain · grading, French drains, and sump work are common.
- Foundations: the region''s clay soil shifts, so foundation repair and slab leaks are a genuine local specialty.
- Humidity: mold and moisture control matter more here than in drier metros.
