Local risks: Washington and McClain County

The risks in Washington in McClain 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:

• Frozen and burst pipes during winter cold snaps, especially lines in exterior walls, attics, garages and crawlspaces
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• 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
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Lightning-caused attic and roof fires
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Window, door and siding leaks after heavy rain
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water

Before the crew arrives

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

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

How it works

1. Call (888) 755-3821. Describe what happened, where you are in Washington and whether the water is still running or the fire is out.
2. We connect you with a restoration company that covers your ZIP code and has crews available. In most cases they contact you within minutes and schedule an emergency response measured in hours.

When and where damage happens in Washington

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.
