First priority: make sure nobody's hurt. Then call your insurance company, then call me. I coordinate with tree removal services — they handle the tree, I handle the house. Once the limb is off, I tarp the opening to prevent rain intrusion, then assess interior damage. Water from rain getting through a tree hole can spread fast through ceiling cavities. The sooner we tarp and dry, the less drywall comes out.

Almost certainly. A 1960s pier-and-beam crawlspace without a vapor barrier is a moisture trap. Oklahoma's humidity pushes moisture up through the soil, condenses on cool floor joists, and mold grows. Many Warr Acres crawlspaces have had this for years — homeowners just got used to the smell. I'll inspect, test if needed, and give you an honest scope. Usually it's remediation plus a vapor barrier install to prevent recurrence.

Yes. I work with insurance every day. I'll document everything — moisture readings, photos, inventory — and submit directly to your adjuster. You pay your deductible. Insurance covers the rest. I don't upsell. I scope what's needed, not what inflates the invoice. If insurance doesn't cover something, I'll tell you upfront before any work starts.

Ice storms cause subtle damage that shows up months later. Tree limbs that didn't fall might have stressed your roof deck — creating micro-separations where water seeps in over time. Ice can also crack gutters and downspouts, redirecting water into your foundation zone. If you haven't had an inspection since 2020, it's worth checking. I'll look at the attic for water stains, gutters for misalignment, and foundation for new cracks.

Not for restoration work — I'm licensed and insured to work across the metro. What CAN matter is permitting (some work requires city permits, and Warr Acres has its own building department) and insurance mapping (your policy may say 'Oklahoma City' even though you live in Warr Acres). I handle both — I know which city your property falls in and what's required.

Absolutely. I understand that every hour closed is money your family doesn't make. For commercial properties, I prioritize speed and schedule around your business hours whenever possible. Burst pipe at 6 PM? I'll have water out and fans running by close. Smoke damage? I'll work overnight. I document everything in real time for your commercial insurance claim.

Galvanized pipes corrode from the inside out — they narrow over years until water pressure drops or a weak spot gives way. When they burst, they burst inside walls. You won't see it until the baseboard is wet or the ceiling stains. I handle the water damage and drying. A plumber handles the pipe replacement. We often coordinate together to minimize tear-out. Don't wait for the burst — but if it happens, call immediately.

That depends on you, not me. But I'll tell you this: most water or mold damage in older homes is fixable for a fraction of the home's value. A $3K-$8K restoration is worth it on a $130K home — especially if you've lived there 20 years and your mortgage is paid off. I'll give you an honest scope and not inflate it. If restoration doesn't make financial sense, I'll tell you that too.
