Local risks: Commerce and Ottawa County

Property owners in Commerce deal with the same regional risks found throughout Oklahoma. Oklahoma's violent spring storm season brings tornadoes, giant hail and flash floods, while ice storms and hard freezes burst pipes in winter. Most homes sit on slabs over expansive clay, which makes slab leaks and foundation movement common. Problems tend to peak during april through june severe-weather season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Foundation movement in expansive clay soils that cracks slabs and stresses buried plumbing
• Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

What to do right now

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

• Do not run the HVAC system if ducts or the air handler got wet, and do not use household fans on sewage or flood water
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Shut off the main water valve if the source is a plumbing failure, and turn off power to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances

When and where damage happens in Commerce

Whatever the construction type in Commerce, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

Winter brings frozen and burst pipes; spring and summer bring the heavy rain, saturated ground and sump failures that flood lower levels. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Winter condensation on windows and in attics, followed by spring moisture in basements and crawlspaces, gives mold two seasons to get started.
