Emergencies and first steps
Where is the main water shut-off?
Often near the street or at the point where the line enters the house, with a separate valve at each fixture. Find both while the floor is dry, since a freeze can split a line in a crawl space or an unheated room.
What happens to pipes in an Oklahoma freeze?
Water in lines in unheated spaces can freeze and split, and the break often shows only at the thaw. The city's own record of breaks in the February 2021 freeze was mostly in the mains, and a split line on a private side can leak for hours before anyone notices.
Can I run a household vacuum over the water?
No. Keep clear of outlets and cords, and let the crew bring equipment made for wet work.
Cost, insurance and the rules
Do you give a price over the phone?
No. A figure given before anyone has seen the water would be invented. The scope and the price are explained on site and approved by you before work starts.
Who regulates insurance claims in Oklahoma?
The Oklahoma Insurance Department takes consumer complaints, and it asks the insurer to explain its position. Start with your agent or insurer, and keep your photographs and readings. The policy and the insurer decide the cover.
Who checks a plumber or electrician's paperwork?
The Oklahoma Construction Industries Board licenses plumbing, electrical and mechanical work and registers roofing contractors. Ask for the paperwork for whatever trade the job touches, and check it on the board's licence search.
