Tips before you mount

• In pier-and-beam bungalows in the Heights, floors flex and crawlspaces can be damp: mount to wall studs rather than relying on the floor, and avoid running cables through wet areas.
• Plaster walls in older Montrose and River Oaks homes: use a pilot hole and snap toggles only for light loads between studs.
• Houston's heat and year-round humidity corrode ordinary hardware; use stainless steel on patios and outdoor mounts.
• High-rise condos need concrete anchors (1/4" concrete screws or 3/8" sleeve anchors) plus association approval and a COI.
• After flood events, drywall is often cut and replaced; ask the installer to confirm that wall repairs have studs and any added blocking.
• Hidden cables: a regular TV cord cannot be in the wall (NEC 400.12); use an in-wall power kit and CL2/CL3 cable.
• Houston clay shifts foundations and cracks drywall; avoid mounting on fresh cracks.
