The National Weather Service issued its first-ever Flash Flood Emergency on May 6, 2015, for the south Oklahoma City metro. This page does not name any particular street in ZIP 73170 as affected, so a house that was wet in that week is read on its own readings.
Oklahoma's statewide average for May 2015 was 14.41 inches, the wettest month on record, according to the state climatologist as reported regionally. A month of that size tests the drains, the roof edges and the ground at the foundation of every house in the area, and the drying plan follows the readings from those points inward.
Water enters a house through the lowest opening it can reach. Under a door sill, through a garage door seal, along the edge of a slab, around a window frame and down a gap at the roof edge are the usual routes. The technician works out which one was used from the wet line and the location of the first reading, because the route decides where else the water may have gone.
Once inside, water spreads along the floor and climbs the wall through the bottom plate. It can then move along the top of the wall into the ceiling cavity, which is why a room that looks dry at the floor may hold water high on the wall. The readings are taken at each height, and the drying is finished when each height reads its target.
Close the source if you can reach it safely, and switch off the power to wet rooms at the breaker from a dry place. Move valuables out of the path of the water and put containers under the drips. Photograph the water line and the damage before you move anything, and keep the photographs with their times.
Do not wade into water that is near a fixture or an outlet, and do not use a household vacuum or fan in it. Tell the call-taker the time you found the water and who else you have told. Keep the receipts for any pump or temporary repair, since the insurer will ask for them.
Ask for the scope in writing, including what will be removed and what will be dried in place, and what the readings must reach before the finishes are replaced. The price is explained and approved on site, and this site publishes no figure for it. Ask which licences, registrations and permits apply to the job, and check the written contract before you sign.
For the insurance side, keep the photographs, the readings and the removal list together. The Oklahoma Insurance Department is the state regulator for insurance claims. The policy decides what is covered, and a record kept from the first visit is the strongest support for the claim.
