Homes in Edmond
Edmond’s homes are newer than most of the metro. The median home was built in 1993, and about 39% were built in 2000 or later.
Newer homes still have leaks. Supply lines, water heaters and washing machine hoses fail in houses of every age, and water can travel under flooring before anyone sees it. The older neighborhoods around downtown and the University of Central Oklahoma have more mid-century homes, where older plumbing is more common.
Who owns which pipe in Edmond
In Edmond, the homeowner is responsible for the water line from the meter to the house, and for the sewer line out to the City’s main.
The City says it is “only responsible for its own property, not your line or the connection to the main.” If a sewer stoppage is in your private line, the City will tell you so you can call a plumber. Once the line is fixed, we clean up and dry what the water reached. Read about sewage backup cleanup.
Sewer backups and insurance
The City of Edmond notes that sewer backups are not routinely covered by homeowners policies. Ask your agent what your policy includes.
If you do have a backup, we document the loss with photos, moisture readings and drying records for your claim. Read more about how a claim works with United.
