(405) 309-1873Mustang got its post office in 1895 and its town plat in 1901, when the Oklahoma City and Western Railroad came through the southeast corner of what is now Canadian County. For decades it stayed small. The Oklahoma Historical Society counts fewer than 200 residents in 1960, then 2,637 in 1970 and 7,496 by 1980, as Oklahoma City workers moved out and Mustang became a bedroom community.
The Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey puts Mustang at about 8,500 housing units with a median year built of 1992. Roughly 3,100 of those homes went up in the 1970s and 1980s, and the single busiest decade was 2000 to 2009, with nearly 2,000. That leaves two big generations of plumbing: houses now roughly 35 to 55 years old, where original valves and drain lines are wearing out, and newer subdivision homes where the first round of repairs is starting.
Town life centers on Wild Horse Park, the city's 158-acre park on North Mustang Road. It holds Mustang Town Center, with the library, recreation center and senior center, along with the aquatic center and City offices. SH-152 and SH-4 share a one-mile stretch through town between Mustang Road and Sara Road. Mustang Public Schools also reaches beyond city limits into parts of Oklahoma City, so a Mustang school address doesn't always mean a City of Mustang permit.
Mustang runs its own water system. The city's latest posted water quality report says the water comes from 11 groundwater wells, with additional supply purchased from Oklahoma City through what the report calls a consecutive connection. A 2018 regional water plan shows those wells draw from the Garber-Wellington, which the USGS calls the Central Oklahoma aquifer. The USGS describes its water as a calcium-magnesium bicarbonate type, the mineral mix that builds scale in tank water heaters, tankless heat exchangers and faucet aerators.
The same report lists arsenic at up to 8 parts per billion against a federal limit of 10, and the 2018 plan named arsenic as Mustang's main water quality concern, with more Oklahoma City water bought to dilute it. The 90th percentile lead result in the city's 2019 to 2021 sampling was zero. If your home sits on acreage beyond the city mains, you may be on a rural water district or your own well, and possibly a septic system that the Oklahoma DEQ regulates.

NRCS soil survey maps for Mustang show mostly loamy and fine sandy soils, such as the Nash, Ironmound and Binger series, which formed in red Permian sandstone. Ironmound soils are only 10 to 20 inches deep to weathered rock, and Nash soils run 20 to 40 inches. Scattered pockets of Kirkland soil carry a dense, cracking silty clay subsoil. Low creek bottoms are mapped as frequently flooded, and toward the Canadian River, which forms part of the county's southern border, the ground turns to deep sandy loam on old river terraces.
For plumbing, that means three things. Trenching for a sewer or water line can hit sandstone at a shallow depth. Sandy and loamy ground drains well, so a leaking supply line may soak away without ever surfacing as a wet spot. And homes over clay pockets or near creek bottoms see wetter soil and more ground movement around buried pipe.
Mustang sits on the southwest edge of the metro, and an arctic front brings wind that pulls heat out of exposed pipe fast. In the February 2021 cold wave, the low in neighboring Oklahoma City hit minus 14°F, and the Oklahoma Climatological Survey lists only one colder reading there: minus 17°F in 1899. IBHS puts the danger line for pipes in southern homes at 20°F. The lines most at risk here are the ones wind can reach: hose bibs and laundry lines on north and west walls, attic runs over garages, well houses on acreage, and irrigation backflow assemblies left full of water.
The City of Mustang Community Development Department, at City Hall on North Mustang Road, handles plan review, permits and inspections. The city follows the International Residential, Plumbing and Fuel Gas Codes with adopted amendments, and its permit page is direct: homeowners may not do plumbing or gas pipe fitting beyond a short list of minor items, and landlords and tenants can't work on rental property without the required licensing and permits. Under Oklahoma's Plumbing License Law, administered by the Construction Industries Board, a licensed plumbing contractor must also register with each city where they work. When a job needs a permit, we pull it and schedule the inspection. Learn more about our company.
Freeze season is here in Mustang.
Frozen pipes, burst pipes, split hose bibs and sprinkler backflow damage. We answer 24/7 when the temperature drops. See our winter plumbing services.
Burst supply line, overflowing toilet or no hot water on a Sunday night? We answer 24/7 across Mustang and walk you through the right shutoff first, whether that's the city meter box or a well pump breaker.
Mustang's 1970s and 1980s homes are reaching the age when kitchen lines narrow with grease and old drains slow down. We clear sinks, tubs, showers and floor drains, then tell you if a camera look is worth it.
Running toilets, weak flushes and rocking bowls are everyday calls. Mineral-rich water is hard on fill valves and flappers, so we replace worn parts or install a new toilet in your Mustang home with a fresh wax seal.
Scale from Mustang's groundwater clogs aerators and wears out cartridges. We fix dripping faucets, replace cartridges and supply lines, and repair leaking sink drains and P-traps in kitchens, baths and laundry rooms.
A jammed or humming disposal usually needs a reset, a freed flywheel or a new unit. We repair and install disposals in Mustang kitchens and check the drain connection and dishwasher hose while we're under the sink.
Low pressure in a Mustang home can come from a failing regulator, scaled fixtures, a corroded line or a well pump problem on acreage. We test the system, find the cause, and install or replace pressure regulators.
Remodeling a bath in a 1980s Mustang home or finishing a new space? We install and replace sinks, faucets, tubs, showers, toilets and valves, and handle the city permit when the work calls for one.
Mustang's well water carries calcium and magnesium that settle in tank bottoms as sediment. We repair gas and electric heaters, from thermocouples and elements to valves, and flush out the scale that makes a tank rumble.
A heater installed with a house from Mustang's 2000s building boom may be twenty years old now. We size, permit and install new tank units to the city's adopted codes, venting and gas connections included.
Tankless units hold up on Mustang's mineral-rich groundwater when they get regular descaling. We install, repair and flush gas tankless heaters, check gas line sizing for the bigger burner, and add service valves for easy maintenance.
Waiting on hot water at the far end of a large Mustang home, or in a ranch house where the heater sits at the opposite end? A recirculation pump brings hot water to the tap faster and wastes less down the drain.
Well-drained Mustang soil can carry a slab leak away instead of letting it puddle, so a rising water bill or a warm spot on the floor is often the first clue. We locate it, then repair or reroute the line.
From a hissing wall to a meter that never stops moving, we track down hidden leaks in Mustang homes, including buried service lines between the city meter and the house and long runs from private wells.
We repair and replace the buried line from the city meter to your house, or from a private well to the house on acreage. Where Mustang soils sit on shallow rock, we plan the trench route before digging.
Homes from Mustang's first suburban wave are now 45 to 55 years old. If you find galvanized pipe, repeat pinhole leaks or falling pressure, whole-house repiping with PEX or copper ends the cycle of patch repairs.
The city's 2019 to 2021 lead sampling came back with a 90th percentile result of zero. If you're unsure what your Mustang service line is made of, we can check it and replace any lead or galvanized pipe.
A smart shutoff valve watches flow and closes the main when it senses a leak. For Mustang homeowners who travel or own a second property, it can keep a split pipe from running for days unnoticed.
Shallow sandstone under parts of Mustang can make sewer excavation slow going. We camera the line first, then repair or replace the broken section by open trench or trenchless methods, whichever fits the ground and the damage.
For grease-packed kitchen lines and root-choked laterals in established Mustang neighborhoods, high-pressure water jetting scours the pipe wall clean instead of just punching a hole through the clog.
Buying a 1970s or 1980s home in Mustang? A sewer scope before closing shows the line's condition out to the city main, including roots, sags and cracked joints, on video you can keep and share.
Trenchless repair can save a mature yard or driveway, but shallow sandstone affects which method works in Mustang. We weigh pipe bursting and lining after a camera inspection and tell you plainly when digging is the better call.
Some houses from Mustang's 1960s and 1970s growth may still drain through cast iron. Descaling strips the rust scale and tubercles that narrow the pipe, and a follow-up camera pass shows whether it's worth keeping.
Trees planted when Mustang's older subdivisions were new are now big enough to push roots into sewer joints. We cut them out with cutting heads or a jetter and show you on camera where they're getting in.
If your Mustang house has no accessible outdoor cleanout, adding one gives a direct path to the main sewer line. That makes future clog clearing and camera work faster, cleaner and less disruptive inside the home.
A sewer smell inside the house usually traces to a dry trap, a failed wax ring, a cracked vent or a broken drain line. We use smoke and camera testing to find the source in your Mustang home and fix it.
When a pipe splits in a Mustang attic, garage ceiling or exterior wall, we stop the water, cut out the damaged section and restore service, then give you notes and photos for your insurance claim.
Wind across the metro's southwest edge freezes exposed hose bibs, attic runs and well house plumbing fast. We thaw lines with controlled heat, check for splits and repair whatever the ice broke.
Before the first hard freeze, we insulate exposed pipe in attics, garages and crawlspaces, seal drafts at wall penetrations, and prepare vacation homes, barns and shops so winter wind doesn't find the weak spot.
Old-style spigots on north and west walls are a common freeze casualty in Mustang. We repair split hose bibs and install frost-free models that close the valve inside the heated wall where ice can't reach it.
If your Mustang lawn has an irrigation system, the above-ground backflow preventer can freeze and crack when left full. We drain and winterize systems, insulate assemblies and repair backflow bodies after a cold snap.
City of Mustang rules keep homeowners from doing gas pipe fitting, so this one belongs to a licensed contractor. We repair and install gas piping, pressure test it and find leaks for ranges, dryers, water heaters and furnaces.
Mustang's water meets the federal arsenic standard but contains low levels, and it carries hardness minerals. We install whole-house filtration and under-sink reverse osmosis systems matched to your city or private well water.
Irrigation systems, fire lines and commercial equipment tied to Mustang's public water need working backflow protection. We test, repair and replace backflow preventers for homes and businesses, including freeze-damaged irrigation assemblies.
Planning an outdoor kitchen, fire pit or gas grill on a Mustang patio? We run, pressure test and permit outdoor gas lines, and we call 811 to mark buried utilities before trenching across the yard.
Aging in place in Mustang often starts in the bathroom. We handle the plumbing for walk-in tubs, including supply and drain rough-in, and make sure your water heater can fill the tub with hot water.
Acreage homes beyond Mustang's city mains may run on a private well and septic system. We repair and replace pressure tanks and pressure switches, and fix the house plumbing that drains to the septic tank.
Restaurants and shops along the SH-152 and Mustang Road corridors depend on clear grease lines. We clean commercial drains and jet restaurant grease lines on a schedule that works around your business hours.
Offices, churches and retail spaces in Mustang need restrooms, water heaters and backflow devices that keep working. We set up planned maintenance visits and still answer emergency calls 24/7 when something fails.
Local, licensed and insured
Since 1985
Our plumbing experience goes back to 1985. That matters in Mustang, where one street runs on city water drawn from wells and blended with Oklahoma City supply, and the next road over may have a private well, a pressure tank and a septic system. We know both setups and how each one fails, from scaled-up water heaters on city water to pressure switches and tanks on a well, so the first visit is spent fixing, not guessing.
24/7
Water heaters quit on holiday weekends and supply lines split on the coldest night of the year. We answer 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays, and we cover Mustang from Wild Horse Park out to the county roads. When you call, a plumber talks you through shutting off the water or the gas first, then heads your way. Same-day service is often available for repairs that can't wait, and we bring common repair parts so a broken line or failed valve can often be fixed in one trip.

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
The city's most recent posted water quality report says Mustang draws from 11 groundwater wells and also buys water from Oklahoma City through a connection between the two systems. A 2018 regional water plan presented to the city council listed arsenic in the well water as the main quality concern and noted extra Oklahoma City water bought for blending. The latest report says the water meets the federal arsenic standard.
Usually, yes. The City of Mustang Community Development Department handles permits and inspections and follows the International Plumbing Code and Fuel Gas Code. The city says homeowners may not do plumbing or gas pipe work beyond a short list of minor items, and landlords and tenants can't work on rentals without licensing and permits. Outside city limits, or in the Oklahoma City part of the school district, different rules apply.
Mostly not in the way people expect. NRCS soil maps show most of Mustang on loamy and sandy soils formed over red sandstone, some only 10 to 20 inches deep to rock, with a few pockets of dense clay and some frequently flooded creek bottoms. Rock slows trenching for sewer and water lines, and sandy ground can soak up a leak so it never puddles. That's why we lean on meter tests and leak-locating tools here rather than waiting for a wet spot to appear.
More than people assume. Census figures put Mustang's median year built at 1992, but roughly 3,100 of its 8,500 homes went up in the 1970s and 1980s, when the town grew from a farm community into an Oklahoma City suburb. Those houses are now 35 to 55 years old, which is when original valves, drain lines and supply piping start needing attention. If you're buying one, a sewer camera inspection and a look at the water heater are worth doing before closing.
Cold enough to split pipes. Oklahoma City, just across the line, bottomed out at minus 14°F during the February 2021 cold wave, second only to an 1899 reading, per the Oklahoma Climatological Survey. Research cited by IBHS flags 20°F as the point where pipes in southern homes start to freeze. Wind on a cold night pulls heat from exposed pipe even faster, so garages, attics and well houses need attention.
