Water damage & mold help in Oklahoma

Main water, mold and storm risks in Oklahoma
Tornadoes and hail
Severe spring storms bring tornadoes and large hail that damage roofs and windows.
Ice storms and freezes
Ice storms knock out power, and hard freezes burst pipes in homes not built for extended cold.
Flash flooding
Heavy rain floods streets and low-lying neighborhoods in Oklahoma City and Tulsa.
Expansive clay and slab leaks
Clay soils across much of Oklahoma swell and shrink with rain and drought, stressing slab foundations and the plumbing beneath them.
