Preparing Your OKC Home's Pipes for an Ice Storm

A practical checklist to prevent frozen and burst pipes during Oklahoma winter storms.

Before the freeze

Disconnect garden hoses, cover outdoor spigots, and insulate pipes in attics, crawl spaces and garages. Know where your main water shutoff is.

During the storm

Let faucets on exterior walls drip, open sink cabinet doors, and keep your thermostat at 55°F or higher, even if you're away.

If a pipe freezes or bursts

Shut off the main water, turn off the water heater, and call 405-405-PROS. Never thaw pipes with an open flame.
