About Dustin

Water filtration

Cleaner water for the whole house

Chlorine taste, hard-water scale or iron stains. We find out what is in your water first, then treat it inside the house.

Straight about our hours

We are not a 24-hour company

We work 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and turn up when we say. If something goes wrong after hours, do this first:

  • Water where it shouldn't be

    Shut off the main valve. Once the water is off, it can wait for a proper repair.

  • You smell gas

    Leave the house. From outside, call 911 and your gas company.

  • Sewage coming up a drain

    Stop running water: no flushing, no laundry. Then call us.

Common questions

How much will it cost?

We do not charge by the hour. Estimates are free over the phone or from a photo you text. If Dustin needs to see the job first, there is a trip charge, and you hear what it is before he drives out. Then you get one flat price and we do the work for that price — even if it takes longer than we thought or we hit a surprise. You know the number before any work starts, and you can say no.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes. We guarantee our work for 1 year, unless we tell you otherwise during the service call — for example, a repair on a part that is near the end of its life. Drain cleaning is the one exception: it is not covered, because a clog can come back for reasons outside the pipe we cleared.

Do you do emergency or after-hours calls?

No. We answer 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and book real appointment times, so every job gets our full attention. If water is running where it should not, shut off the main valve and call us for the first open time. If you smell gas, leave the house and call 911 and your gas company from outside.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Troubled Water is an LLC, licensed, bonded and insured. Our Oklahoma plumbing contractor license is OK203156 — it covers natural gas piping too — and you can check it yourself on the state's license lookup. The link is on our About page.
