Named for Wild Horses. Built at the Speed of One. And Sometimes the Plumbing Can't Keep Up.

Mustang went from 10,000 people to 24,000 in two decades. The subdivisions are new. The clay underneath is ancient. I'm Phil Sheridan. I own 4D Restoration. IICRC-certified, veteran-owned, and I know why 3-year-old homes in Lakehurst already have slab leaks.

I Know Lakehurst From Timber Ridge. And I Know Why a Three-Year-Old Foundation Already Has a Crack.

Mustang started in 1901 — named for the wild horses the settlers saw on the prairie. The Broncos mascot stuck. The town went to 12A for football. And the growth hasn't stopped since the Kilpatrick Turnpike made the commute to OKC twenty minutes instead of forty.

That growth means brand-new subdivisions — Lakehurst, Crimson Crossing, Timber Ridge — sitting on the same Oklahoma red clay that's been expanding and contracting for thousands of years. The foundations are engineered. The clay doesn't care. Post-tensioned slabs still move. Supply lines still crack. And homeowners who just spent $350K on a brand-new house can't believe they already have water under the master bath.

I'm based in Edmond — 20 minutes from Mustang. I work in these subdivisions regularly. I know the older ranch homes along Highway 152 with aging cast iron drains, and I know the new builds with slab issues the builder says aren't their problem. Both need drying. They need different approaches.

◆ WEATHER_HISTORY

The 2010 Hailstorm Totaled Cars Across Mustang. The Roofs Took the Same Hit.

Mustang sits in the Canadian County corridor — full exposure to every spring storm cell that tracks northeast across central Oklahoma. The 2010 hailstorm dropped stones large enough to total vehicles across the city. Multiple documented events have delivered golf-ball-size and larger hail to Mustang neighborhoods.

Hail creates micro-fractures — ceiling stains appear weeks later when the next rain finds the cracks. February ice storms freeze pipes behind drywall in older homes and form ice dams on roofs that push water into wall cavities. May storms bring tornadoes, straight-line winds, and flash flooding simultaneously. Summer humidity turns any lingering moisture into mold within 48 hours during July and August.

◆ BUILDING_STOCK

Original Ranch. Mid-Growth Suburb. Brand New Build. I've Dried All Three.

Original Mustang (Pre-1990s): Ranch-style homes along Highway 152 and the original town grid. Composition roofs with decades of hail wear. Cast iron sewer lines underground. Aging HVAC systems with condensate drain issues. Solid construction — but the systems are at or past their lifespan.

Mid-Growth (1990s-2010s): The first wave of suburban expansion. Conventional slab foundations, upgraded plumbing, builder-grade finishes designed for volume, not longevity. These homes are now 15-25 years old — entering the window where original water heaters fail, supply line connections corrode, and HVAC systems start leaking condensate.

New Subdivisions (2015-Present): Lakehurst, Crimson Crossing, Timber Ridge, Mustang Trails. Post-tensioned slabs, tankless water heaters, tight building envelopes, open floor plans. Modern construction on ancient clay. Slab movement in 3-5 years is normal — but it still cracks plumbing.

New Construction. Old Geology. Same Clay That's Been Shifting Since Before Mustang Had a Name.

24,000 people and growing. The subdivisions are new. The weather isn't — and neither is the clay underneath. Call the restoration company that knows why your 3-year-old slab already has a crack.

Questions Mustang Homeowners Ask Me

4d-restoration — bash — 80×24
admin@4d : ~/faq $
query --id=01 "How does a 3-year-old house already have a slab leak?" ▶ ENTER
--- OUTPUT [01] ---

Oklahoma red clay. It swells when wet, shrinks when dry, and puts lateral pressure on your foundation. Post-tensioned slabs are designed to flex — but they still move. After one full drought-to-rain cycle, that movement can stress supply lines or drain connections under the slab. This isn't a construction defect. It's geology. I see slab leaks in new Mustang subdivisions regularly.

admin@4d : ~/faq $
query --id=02 "The hailstorm was six weeks ago. Why is my ceiling leaking now?" ▶ ENTER
--- OUTPUT [02] ---

Hail creates micro-fractures in shingles — not visible holes, but stress cracks that compromise the seal. The first heavy rain after the damage finds those cracks. Water enters the decking, travels along rafters, and shows up as a ceiling stain in a completely different room from where the shingle cracked. Six weeks is actually common for delayed hail leaks.

admin@4d : ~/faq $
query --id=03 "We had an ice storm and now there's water behind the walls. What's happening?" ▶ ENTER
--- OUTPUT [03] ---

Ice dams form when attic heat melts snow on the roof. The meltwater refreezes at the eave where the roof extends past the warm building envelope. That ice backs water up under shingles and into the decking. From there it enters wall cavities and collects behind drywall. You won't see it until the stain appears or the wall feels soft. FLIR imaging shows me exactly where the water trail goes.

admin@4d : ~/faq $
query --id=04 "How do I know if what I'm looking at is mold or just dirt?" ▶ ENTER
--- OUTPUT [04] ---

Three things. Pattern: mold follows moisture — it grows in lines, clusters, or patches near water sources. Color: mold is typically black, green, white, or gray, not brown like dirt. Smell: mold produces a distinct musty odor that dirt doesn't. If you're unsure, don't touch it. I can test and identify in a single visit.

admin@4d : ~/faq $
query --id=05 "We both work in OKC and the kids are in school. Can you work around our schedule?" ▶ ENTER
--- OUTPUT [05] ---

Standard practice. Most Mustang families commute to OKC — I know the schedule. I can access the property during school hours, send you moisture updates by text, and have equipment running while you're at work. The dehumidifiers don't need you home. I do the monitoring and adjust equipment remotely when possible.

admin@4d : ~/faq $
query --id=06 "Do you handle the insurance paperwork or do we?" ▶ ENTER
--- OUTPUT [06] ---

I provide the documentation your insurance company needs: thermal imaging, moisture readings by room, material inventory, drying plan, daily progress reports. You file the claim. I give your adjuster a scope document clean enough that they can authorize without a callback. Most Mustang jobs process smoothly because the documentation is right from day one.

admin@4d : ~/faq $
query --id=07 "The storm shelter in our new subdivision has water in it every spring. Is that normal?" ▶ ENTER
--- OUTPUT [07] ---

Common, but not okay. Underground shelters are below the water table during wet seasons. Without proper drainage and waterproofing, groundwater seeps in. Standing water plus sealed space plus Oklahoma humidity equals mold — and that's where your family shelters during a tornado. Get it treated before May.

admin@4d : ~/faq $
query --id=08 "How fast can you get to Mustang from Edmond?" ▶ ENTER
--- OUTPUT [08] ---

About 20 minutes — Kilpatrick Turnpike to I-40 or straight down Sara Road. One of my closest service areas. Equipment loaded, trailer hitched. I'll be there before you've finished explaining the problem.
