Climate risks for Oklahoma homes
Hail bruises shingles, dents gutters and garage doors and cracks skylights. The damage often leaks months later, so inspect after every big storm.
Severe storms lift shingles, drive rain under flashing and push on garage doors. Wind-rated materials and solid nailing patterns pay off here.
Expansive clay swells when wet and shrinks in drought, which moves slab foundations and cracks walls, floors and plumbing.
Embers and smoke reach homes miles from the flames. Fire-rated roofing, ember-resistant vents and good HVAC filtration reduce damage.
High humidity feeds mold in bathrooms, attics and crawl spaces and makes air conditioners work harder to dry the air.
Hard water leaves scale in water heaters, faucets, dishwashers and shower valves, shortening their lives. A softener protects new fixtures.
