Yukon, Oklahoma
When you need burst pipe repair in Yukon, shut off the main first, then call us. We answer 24/7, stop the water, cut out the split section and restore service, often in one visit. We also handle the second wave of leaks that shows up after a hard freeze, when pipes that cracked in the cold start leaking as they thaw.

(405) 309-1873Oklahoma City's low on February 16, 2021 was minus 14°F, beaten on the Oklahoma Climatological Survey's record only by a reading from 1899. Within a day, Yukon officials said record demand had put the city's water system under stress, and the city urged everyone to drip their faucets rather than run them full.
That request says a lot about how a freeze plays out here. Yukon's water comes from city wells plus water bought from Oklahoma City, and the system relies on five water towers to hold pressure. When homes across town run faucets full blast to keep pipes from freezing, while burst lines keep leaking until someone shuts them off, the whole system feels it. Shutting off your main fast after a burst protects your house and your neighbors' water pressure.
If a pipe has burst: close the main water shutoff, then open the lowest faucet in the house to drain the lines. If water is near outlets, light fixtures or the electrical panel, switch off power to that area only if you can reach the breaker without standing in water. Never use a torch or open flame on a frozen pipe.
Then move furniture and valuables out of the water, take photos of the damage for your insurer, and put buckets under drips. If the ceiling is sagging with water, stay out from under it. When you call, tell us where the water is coming from and whether the main is off, and we take it from there.
Speed matters because even small splits release a lot of water. By IBHS figures, a split only one-eighth of an inch across can let out upward of 250 gallons in a single day.
The burst you see during the freeze isn't always the only one. Ice inside a pipe can split it without leaking, because the ice itself plugs the crack. When temperatures climb and the line thaws, water finds the opening, often in a wall cavity or ceiling where you won't notice until a stain appears.
After any hard freeze, walk the house as it warms up. Check under sinks on outside walls, the garage ceiling, around the water heater, along exterior hose bibs and in any attic space with pipe. Listen for hissing with the house quiet, and watch the water meter with everything off. If you find a leak, close the main and call us for emergency repair.

24/7
Pipes burst on the coldest nights and the first warm afternoons after a freeze, and neither keeps business hours. Our line stays open day and night all winter. While you are on the phone, we walk you through finding and closing the main shutoff, which is the single most important thing you can do to limit the damage before we get there.
Since 1985
Our team has repaired freeze damage since 1985, and we know a burst pipe rarely fails alone. Once the main break is fixed, we pressurize the system and check the rest of the run, the fittings nearby and other exposed lines in the same wall or attic. Catching the second crack now saves you another ruined ceiling and another emergency call later this week.
Licensed
Burst pipe claims go more smoothly with good records. We photograph the failed pipe and the damage, note what caused the break and what we replaced, and give you an itemized invoice your adjuster can work from. Because a licensed plumber does the work, the paperwork you hand your insurer reflects real, documented repairs. We are licensed and insured, and financing is available if the burst turns into a bigger repiping or drywall-heavy job.

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
Drip, don't stream. A slow drip on faucets along outside walls keeps water moving and relieves pressure in a freezing line. During the February 2021 freeze, city officials asked Yukon residents to keep faucets at a drip rather than a stream as water use hit a record, because every open tap in town draws on the same wells, purchased water and towers at the moment demand is highest.
Shut off the main water valve, then turn off power to any wet area if you can do it safely. Open a faucet at the lowest point to drain the lines. Move valuables away from the water, take photos for insurance, and call us. Leave ceilings with bulging, water-filled drywall alone and keep people out from under them.
Ice in a pipe can crack it without leaking, because the ice itself plugs the split. When the pipe thaws, the water finds the crack. That is why emergency water leak repair after freezing is so common in the days after a cold snap. Check exposed lines, the garage and outside walls as temperatures climb.
