What causes water damage in Oklahoma

Hail and tornadoes

Central Oklahoma is in the heart of the hail and tornado belt, so roof damage and the rain that follows are routine claims.

Clay soil and slab leaks

Red clay shrinks in drought and swells in wet spells, stressing pipes under slab foundations.

Ice storms and freezes

Ice brings down power lines for days, and pipes in exterior walls and attics freeze.

Homes and how they are built

Most homes are slab-on-grade brick ranches, with many built from the 1960s through the 1980s around Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Storm shelters are common; basements are not.

When it happens

Severe storm season peaks April through June. Ice and freeze risk runs December through February.

Rules and insurance in Oklahoma

Oklahoma has no state license for general contractors, but roofing contractors must register with the Construction Industries Board, which also licenses plumbers.

In every state, homeowners insurance excludes rising floodwater, which needs a separate flood policy. See what homeowners insurance covers.

Questions from Oklahoma homeowners

How do I know if hail damaged my roof enough to leak?

Look for granules in gutters, dented vents and new ceiling stains. Have a roofer inspect after any large hail, even without visible leaks.

Are roofers licensed in Oklahoma?

They must be registered with the Construction Industries Board. Check the registration before signing, especially after a storm brings out-of-state crews.

What causes slab leaks here?

Clay soil moving with wet and dry cycles, plus aging copper lines under the slab.
