Flood Risk Profile
Oklahoma's unique risk is the combination of severe spring storm season (April-June), Tornado Alley location, and major river systems. Spring storm systems produce extreme rainfall events — 6-10" in 24 hours is possible. When tornadoes damage roofs, subsequent rain intrusion compounds the loss significantly. The 2019 Arkansas River flooding was a record event affecting Tulsa and Fort Smith.
Notable Events
Winter Storm Uri 2021 (-20F in OKC, catastrophic statewide pipe freeze)
2019 Arkansas River flooding (record Tulsa flooding, thousands of homes affected)
May 2015 Moore/OKC flooding ($1B+ in combined tornado and flood damage)
June 2019 Arkansas River record crests (levee overtopping in Fort Smith metro)
Insurance Info — Oklahoma
Oklahoma Insurance Department regulates. Oklahoma requires payment within 30 days of proof of loss. Oklahoma sits in Tornado Alley — homeowners insurance covers tornado wind damage and resulting rain intrusion, but separate flood coverage is needed for water rising from rivers. The Arkansas River flooded in 2019 to levels not seen in decades, inundating thousands of properties in the Tulsa metro.
Licensing: Oklahoma Construction Industries Board — contractor license required for work over $5,000

Most homeowners call a plumber first. That's the wrong call. The order in which you contact a restoration company, your insurer, and a plumber directly affects how much you recover from insurance -- and how fast your home is restored.
The decisions you make in the first 60 minutes after water damage determine how much you pay, how fast you recover, and whether your insurance claim succeeds. Here's the exact sequence of actions.
Most water damage insurance claim denials happen because homeowners make one of seven preventable mistakes. This guide shows you exactly what to do — and what to avoid — from the moment water appears.
The average water damage restoration costs $3,900 nationally — but ranges from $1,200 to $25,000+ depending on factors most homeowners don't know about before they call.
