Half of Jenks homes were built in 2006 or later, the latest median year built of any town on this site, and 66.8% date from 2000 on, including 34.5% from the 2010s (ACS 2024 5-year). Only 16.2% predate 1980. The Census Bureau counted 28,175 residents in July 2025, up 8.5% since 2020, and 77.5% of occupied homes are owner-occupied.
Jenks ordered a mandatory evacuation during the 1986 Keystone release. In the May and June 2019 Arkansas River flood, Keystone releases reached about 275,000 cubic feet per second, Tulsa's mayor said the levees had never been tested to that extent, and Jenks Public Schools canceled the rest of the school year.
Modern Jenks homes are well sealed, which saves energy but keeps moisture in. In a Tulsa July the dew point averages about 69 F, so any duct, register or attic air handler running colder than that can sweat. Common sources in homes this age:
Every job is different; this is the usual order.
Moisture meters and thermal cameras map wet areas. Testing is optional when mold is visible.
Plastic sheeting and negative air keep spores from spreading through a tight house.
Wet or moldy drywall, insulation and pad come out; framing is HEPA vacuumed and cleaned.
The leak, drain line or fan gets fixed. Plumbing and HVAC repairs need a CIB-licensed contractor.
Published estimates, not quotes: remediation runs about $10 to $25 per square foot (This Old House 2026) and a typical job $1,200 to $3,750. Jenks quotes come from the companies. If the 2019 flood or a later leak touched your home, keep reports and invoices; the OREC disclosure form asks about flooding, water and mold inspections. Full figures are on the cost page.
Yes. New houses are built tight, and moisture from cooking, showers and an oversized or short-cycling AC has fewer ways out. A plumbing leak behind tile or under a slab, or a condensate line that was never sloped right, can feed mold in a home only a few years old. Builder warranties sometimes cover the cause, so check yours.
Testing is not required, but it can help if you notice a musty smell, see staining low on walls, or are selling. A moisture survey and a look inside a wall cavity often tell more than an air sample. Keep any repair invoices; the OREC disclosure form asks about past flooding and water.
It depends on your HOA documents, your warranty and where the water came from. Start by finding the source and documenting it with photos. For shared walls or roofs in townhomes, notify the HOA in writing. Ask an attorney if there is a dispute; this site cannot give legal advice.
