Oklahoma plumbing companies like Big C's Plumbing are preparing for major 2025 code changes, which will significantly impact how projects are planned and built statewide.
-- Leading Oklahoma plumbing repair companies, such as Bixby-based Big C's Plumbing Service, have been taking a closer look at key 2025 plumbing changes happening on a state level, understanding that Oklahoma’s plumbing code landscape is changing, and that local contractors will want to be in the know regarding what is headed their way. According to members of Big C’s management staff, these new rules are more than just procedural updates, they’re poised to “radically change how projects are planned and built all over the state.”
From the perspective of Big C’s Chris Ogan, “getting a handle on these changes immediately will go a long way toward smoothing out the implementation process while shaking off headaches in the future.”
Five major changes are planned, starting with water efficiency updates and culminating with specific Oklahoma amendments plumbing professionals will want to keep an eye on. With water efficiency being a major focus, the state’s goal is to reduce water consumption in new construction and retrofitting of current facilities, which, say experts like Ogan, equates to both new and old buildings. This will entail, according to Oklahoma government representatives, tighter plumbing codes on fixtures such as toilets and faucets, as well as potential mandates for leak detection systems.
“Contractors should read their water bills and usage history, and should get ahead of the conversation with clients about low-flow toilets, smart irrigation systems and other water-saving alternatives,” adds Ogan.

Additionally, allowances for new pipe materials and joint types are being introduced, with experts like Ogan pointing to products such as PEX and new copper alloy formulations having the potential to achieve more widespread adaptation. “Having an entire plumber team onboard with understanding the new specs and how to install these materials correctly is crucial, and with the threat of expensive do-overs if it’s not done correctly, proper training will be paramount,” he notes. “The team at Big C’s will definitely be onboard for these changes.”
In the area of enhanced safety and backflow rules, backflow prevention measures are becoming more stringent, with installers being mandated to use approved devices and to begin testing devices at the frequency required. Regular enforcement training, say local Oklahoma plumbing service company reps, allows for better identification of potential hazards and greater compliance with state regulations.
With regard to changes to venting and drainage requirements, these have been amended to increase drainage efficiently and decrease blockages while improving air flow. According to industry leaders like Ogan and Big C’s Plumbing, staff at plumbing repair companies should familiarize themselves with the new layout regulations and review previous work for retrofits.
Ogan and other plumbing services professionals have also been watching specific Oklahoma amendments, including storm water management and frost depth regulations, understanding that local boards boast the discretion to change these depending on weather and soil conditions.
“Maintaining active engagement with the local plumbing board and disseminating information to fellow professionals will ensure that everyone has the opportunity to stay up to code,” Ogan concludes.
A sweeping number of Tulsa area plumbers have concurred that plumbing code amendments for 2025 will change the Oklahoma contractors experience on the ground, day to day, with practical realities determining the bottom line of jobs permeating these updates.
