Local risks: Morris and Okmulgee County

Morris shares the weather and building patterns of the rest of the state. 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.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Toilet and tub overflows
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Foundation movement in expansive clay soils that cracks slabs and stresses buried plumbing
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Under-sink leaks that go unnoticed for weeks
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain

Before the crew arrives

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• 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
• 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
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors

How it works

1. Call (888) 755-3821. Describe what happened, where you are in Morris and whether the water is still running or the fire is out.
2. Your call is routed to a local restoration company with availability. They confirm details, give an arrival window and tell you what to do in the meantime.
3. On arrival, technicians assess the damage with moisture meters and cameras, stabilize the property and walk you through a written scope before work proceeds.
4. Drying, cleaning or remediation continues with daily readings until the structure is verified dry and clean; reconstruction follows.

Local construction and seasonal patterns in Morris

Whatever the construction type in Morris, 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.
