Oklahoma City averages 11 tornado touchdowns annually within the metropolitan statistical area, with peak activity occurring April through June. These storms generate roof damage that allows rain intrusion into upper floor offices where businesses often locate records storage to maximize ground floor revenue space. The Canadian River and North Canadian River drainage systems compound flooding risk in low lying commercial areas near Interstate 40 and Interstate 35. Spring thunderstorms can drop two inches of precipitation in under an hour, overwhelming stormwater systems in older districts like Deep Deuce and Automobile Alley. Your document storage practices must account for Oklahoma City's severe weather patterns or accept that critical records face annual exposure to water damage events that threaten business continuity.
Liberty Water Damage Restoration Riverside operates Oklahoma City's only commercial facility equipped with vacuum freeze drying chambers specifically designed for bulk document recovery. Our understanding of local construction methods helps predict how water migrates through buildings common to the metro area. Older structures near downtown use basement storage that floods during heavy rain events. Modern office parks along Northwest Expressway place mechanical rooms above occupied spaces, creating overhead pipe burst risks. We consult with Oklahoma City businesses on document storage strategies that reduce water exposure while meeting space constraints and accessibility requirements. This preventive guidance comes from processing hundreds of commercial water damage claims throughout central Oklahoma and understanding which architectural configurations create the greatest document vulnerability during our region's characteristic weather events.
