Edmond, Oklahoma
Calls for frozen pipe repair in Edmond come from every kind of house, but not for the same reasons. A 1950s crawlspace home near UCO, a 1990s slab ranch with a hose bib on the north wall and an acreage home east of I-35 with a line to the barn each freeze in their own way. We thaw the line safely, look for splits before the ice melts and fix what froze.

(405) 309-1873Pipes in southern houses start to freeze once it gets down to about 20°F outside, the alert point IBHS draws from Building Research Council studies at the University of Illinois. Edmond rarely sits below that for long, which is exactly why it catches houses off guard. A mild December lulls everyone, then an arctic front drops the temperature sharply in a single day.
February 2021 showed how far it can go. The Oklahoma Mesonet reported that 96 of its 120 stations set all-time record lows on February 15 or 16, and two back-to-back storms dropped 5 to 15 inches of snow across most of the state. Oklahoma City reached minus 14°F on the 16th. Houses that had sailed through every winter before lost water that week.
About 1 in 12 Edmond homes was built before 1970, according to Census estimates, and some of these older houses sit on crawlspaces rather than slabs. Supply lines hang under the floor, exposed to whatever air blows through the foundation vents. Some still have galvanized pipe, which does not flex and splits easily once it freezes.
About half the city was built in these decades. Slab homes keep most pipe out of the cold, but the weak points are predictable: hose bibs on north and west walls, laundry lines in exterior walls, the riser where the supply comes up in a garage, and any line routed through an attic. The sprinkler backflow preventer sits above ground too. Because Edmond's odd and even watering schedule applies year-round, no city cutoff date reminds you to shut the system down, so put draining it on your own calendar.
The open country around Arcadia Lake, in eastern Edmond, gives north wind a long run at houses, and these properties carry more exposed plumbing: long service lines, yard hydrants, lines to shops and barns, and on some lots a well house with a pressure tank. Each needs its own freeze plan.

Local, licensed and insured
24/7
Pipes freeze overnight, and the call usually comes when the first faucet runs dry in the morning. We answer 24/7 through Edmond's cold snaps, nights, weekends and holidays included, and we move fast on freeze calls because a frozen line can split at any time. On the phone we tell you which faucet to open and when to close the main, so the thaw goes safely.
Since 1985
Our plumbing experience in Oklahoma winters goes back to 1985, in crawlspace houses, slab homes and rural properties alike. That experience tells us where to look first in an Edmond house with no water: the riser where the line comes up through the slab, the supply under a vented crawlspace, the run over a garage or the pipe to a well house, instead of guessing wall by wall.
4.9★
Our customers rate us 4.9 stars from 88 Google reviews, and repeat freeze calls are something we try hard to make unnecessary. Once the water is back on, we show you why that line froze and price the fix that stops it, from crawlspace vent covers and pipe insulation to frost-free hose bibs or rerouting a line into heated space. Financing is available for larger changes.

These guys were great! A breath of fresh air from the usual contractor/service. They cared about fixing the problem not how much they can charge. I had a same day service need, leak in between floors, the day before a trip. They came out same day and presented multiple solutions as well as keen explanations.
Mr. Robert has amazing customer service and work ethic. He fixed our toilet very quickly and explained everything that he was doing, and even showed us the finished product. Awesome work!
After having issues with my bathroom and kitchen plumbing for a few days, I contacted Plumber Oklahoma City, OK Plumbing & Repair this morning. He told me he was very busy, but would work to schedule our repair in with his team.
Straight answers
Yes. On Edmond acreage properties that draw from a private well, the pressure tank, switch and exposed piping in a well house are common freeze points. Turn off the well pump breaker before anything thaws, so a split line does not run the pump dry or flood the building. We thaw the piping, check the pressure switch and tank, repair any splits and help you heat or insulate the space.
Close or cover the foundation vents for winter, seal gaps where pipes pass through the rim joist, and wrap exposed supply lines with pipe insulation. On the coldest nights, drip the faucets fed by crawlspace lines and keep the house heat steady. If a crawlspace line freezes every winter, rerouting it or adding heat tape on a dedicated outlet is often the permanent answer.
