Water Damage Restoration - Done in the Right Order

Each stage is performed by the independent restoration contractor the call reaches; IICRC S500 is the industry standard that describes them.

  1. Step 1: Extraction

    Standing water is pumped out before it can travel further into drywall, subfloor, and framing. Speed here changes the scope of everything that follows.

  2. Step 2: Moisture mapping

    Meters read the material, not the air, so the wet edge is found even when the surface already looks dry. The map sets what has to come out and what can stay.

  3. Step 3: Drying

    Air movers and dehumidifiers run as a closed system until readings inside the material reach a dry standard, not until a calendar date arrives.

  4. Step 4: Verification

    The same points are re-read before equipment comes out. Rebuild starts only after the structure, not just the surface, is confirmed dry.

What drives water into buildings in Oklahoma City

Our local pros take water damage restoration work across Oklahoma City, from the middle out to Bricktown and Midtown Oklahoma City. Hail and wind open the roof, then the rain spreads across a slab because almost none of these houses have a basement to catch it.

Housing stock

Close to three fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 60.4 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1982. Single-story brick-veneer ranches on slab dominate, spread across large lots from Heritage Hills out through later subdivisions. Water enters at hail-bruised roofing and wind-driven seals, then travels sideways under flooring with no cellar to collect it.

Climate and water risk

Of the 36.95 inches that arrive in an average year, 5.48 fall in May; the 1991–2020 normals come from a gauge 6.3 miles away at OKLAHOMA CITY. A May cell here is not a soaking rain. Hail and straight-line wind arrive first, then several inches fall faster than a large-lot swale can move, so the water ponds at the slab edge and under the floor.

Common water damage problems in Oklahoma City

  • Hail and wind opening the roof covering before the rain in the same May cell arrives
  • Wind-driven rain forced past window and door seals built for vertical water
  • Slab-on-grade ranches spreading that water sideways under flooring with no basement to catch it
  • Large-lot drainage overwhelmed in an hour when a May cell dumps faster than the swale can run

Frequently asked questions

There is no basement. Where does the storm water go?

On and under the slab. Without a cellar to collect it, water spreads sideways beneath flooring and into the base of walls and cabinets, so the wet area is usually far wider than the visible mark. A meter map, not a glance at the carpet, sets the edge. The missing basement is why a May cell becomes a floor job instead of a sump job.

Hail first, then rain. Why is that worse than rain alone?

Because the covering is already open when the volume arrives. Hail fractures the mat, wind drives rain at seals designed for vertical water, and then several inches fall faster than the lot can drain. Any one of those is manageable. Together they put water into assemblies that would have shed an ordinary storm. The sequence is the damage.

The lot is large. Why did an hour of rain still pond at the slab?

Area is not capacity. A May cell can drop the month's water faster than a wide swale and a long driveway can move it, and a slab-on-grade ranch has no below-grade room to take the overflow. Ponding at the edge is the lot losing a race with intensity, not a small yard. The water that cannot leave goes under the floor.
