Moore, Oklahoma
Calls for frozen pipe repair in Moore start the first morning a cold front parks over the metro and the faucets give a trickle or nothing at all. Where the freeze is depends on the house: an attic run in a newer two-story, the riser in a 1970s slab home, or the well house on an acreage. We thaw it safely and check it for splits before the water comes back.

(405) 309-1873Moore does not get long winters. It gets arctic outbreaks that arrive after mild weeks, when nobody has drained a hose or wrapped a pipe. February 2021 showed how bad it can get. On February 14, Oklahoma City said the cold had disrupted its Stanley Draper water treatment plant, and many customers it serves saw low pressure or dry taps that afternoon. On February 16 the thermometer in Oklahoma City bottomed out at minus 14°F, second only to an 1899 reading in the Oklahoma Climatological Survey record. Moore, just to the south, sat in the same air mass.
Research cited by IBHS uses 20°F as the warning mark for houses built in warm climates. Any night forecast below that is a night to drip faucets on outside walls and open the cabinets under sinks.
The age of the house decides where we look first. About half of Moore's homes were built from 1960 through 1989, per Census estimates, and about 39 percent in 2000 or later. Each era has its own trouble spots.
Not every property around Moore is on city water. If yours runs on a private well, the freeze risk moves outside: the wellhead piping, the pressure tank, the pressure switch and any line through an unheated well house. USGS notes that water from shallow domestic wells in the Central Oklahoma aquifer is not monitored by the state. The property owner looks after the whole system, freeze protection included. When a pressure switch or its sensing tube freezes, the pump cannot start, and the house goes dry even though the well is fine. We thaw well-system piping, check the pump controls and tank, and insulate everything that is exposed.

Leaving town during a cold snap? Keep the heat on and either close the main and drain the lines or have someone check the house every day. A frozen line in an empty Moore house can thaw, split and run for days before anyone notices.

Before and after
Local, licensed and insured
Since 1985
Our plumbing experience goes back to 1985, and we have seen what a propane torch does to a wall cavity. We thaw frozen pipes with controlled heat, working from an open faucet back toward the ice so meltwater has somewhere to go. No open flame inside walls or attics, ever. It is slower than a torch and far safer for your house.
24/7
Frozen pipes do not wait for business hours, and neither do we. We answer 24/7 during cold snaps, including nights, weekends and holidays, and same-day service is often available in Moore. If we cannot get to you immediately, we will tell you exactly what to do while you wait: which faucet to open, what to shut off and how to add heat safely.
4.9★
A pipe that freezes once will freeze again unless something changes. Our 4.9-star rating across 88 Google reviews owes a lot to fixing the cause: sealing the draft, adding insulation, rerouting a line out of the attic edge or installing a frost-free hose bib. We are licensed and insured, and financing is available for larger upgrades.

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
They can. Without heat, the house cools steadily, and lines in exterior walls, attics and garages reach freezing first. If you lose power in a hard freeze and expect it to stay off, close the main, open a faucet at the lowest point to drain the lines, and turn off the water heater. Once heat is back, we can help you restore water safely.
Usually the exposed piping at the wellhead, the pressure tank and its switch, and any line that runs through an unheated well house or crawl space. A frozen pressure switch can leave the pump unable to start. Insulating that piping and keeping a safe, approved heat source in the well house before a hard freeze prevents most well-system freezes.
Yes. Newer homes are usually tighter and better insulated, but supply lines still run through attics over garages and along exterior walls. PEX handles a freeze better than copper, yet it still stops the water when it ices up, and its fittings can crack. Insulating attic runs, sealing soffit gaps and keeping the garage door shut during a freeze prevent most of these calls.
