Plumbing in Moore is a little different — and we know why
Moore homes are mostly slab-on-grade, which means a lot of the plumbing runs under your house instead of through a basement. That changes everything about how leaks happen and how they get fixed. A plumber who's used to working on Edmond houses with crawl spaces can get caught off-guard by a Moore slab leak — we don't.
Most of Moore was built between 1970 and 2010, with a big push of new construction after the 2013 tornado rebuilt entire neighborhoods. That gives us a mix of:
- Older homes (south of NE 12th and west of I-35) with original galvanized supply lines that are due for repiping.
- Mid-era homes (built 1985–2005) often running polybutylene or early CPVC — both of which fail eventually.
- Newer builds (post-2013, especially Westmoore, Eastlake, and out toward 19th and Santa Fe) with modern PEX systems that are mostly bulletproof, with the occasional builder-grade fitting that lets go after a few years.
Whatever vintage your house is, we've worked on it.

The Moore-specific stuff worth knowing
Storm season matters
Moore sits in tornado alley. After a major storm, we see a spike in water heater damage from power surges, broken supply lines from shifted foundations, and sump pump failures from flash flooding. If your house took any storm damage, get the plumbing inspected — even if everything seems fine. Hairline leaks discovered six months later cost a lot more than a 20-minute walkthrough.
Hard water is rough on appliances
Moore water comes off the same systems as OKC's, and it's hard. If your dishwasher is leaving spots, your shower head crusts up monthly, or your water heater is failing under 8 years old, the water itself is part of the problem. A whole-home softener pays for itself in appliance life and reduced soap/detergent use within 4–6 years for most families.
Old galvanized pipes are a Moore special
If your house was built before 1980 and you've never repiped, you almost certainly still have galvanized supply lines. They rust from the inside, restricting water flow and eventually leaking. Telltale signs: low pressure that slowly got worse, rust-colored water after the house sits unused, recurring pinhole leaks. A full repipe in a typical 1,500 sq ft Moore home runs $4,500–$7,500.
What it costs
We charge the same in Moore as we do anywhere — flat-rate, written down before any work starts. Some real numbers from recent Moore jobs:
- Water heater swap (40-gal gas): $1,250–$1,650 including disposal of the old unit
- Main drain clear with cleanout access: $225–$325
- Standard toilet replacement: $425–$675 including the toilet
- Slab leak detection (no repair): $295
- Whole-home water softener install: $1,500–$2,400
These are starting ranges — your specific situation gets a real quote, in writing, free, before any work begins.
Call your neighbors first
We live in this town. We grocery shop at the same Walmart Neighborhood Market you do. When you call us, you're calling a small business with a real stake in being good at what we do — because if we mess up, we run into you at the gas station. That accountability is the whole reason to call a local family-owned plumber instead of a national franchise.
