Common property damage problems in Sterling
The risks in Sterling in Comanche County are shaped by Oklahoma's climate and housing. 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:
- Foundation movement in expansive clay soils that cracks slabs and stresses buried plumbing
- Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
- Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
- Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
- Hail-punctured roofs and skylights that leak during the next rain
- Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
- Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
- Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
- Window condensation and attic frost in winter
- Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water
What to do right now
The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:
- If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
- 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
- Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
- Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
- Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
- After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces

Building types, timing and seasonal risk
Regardless of the age of a building, water finds the same weak points: supply connections, roof penetrations, window flashing and anywhere two materials meet.
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.
