Additional Information About Storm Shelter Installations
Scheduling
During the fall and winter months, most safe room installations can be scheduled within 6–8 weeks of your initial call.
During spring and summer — Oklahoma's busiest storm seasons — scheduling may take 6 months or longer.
Please note: rain, snow, and severe weather can also cause unexpected delays.
OKIE 811
Sprague’s Backhoe will contact OKIE 811 before we start your installation to locate public utility lines.
IMPORTANT: OKIE 811 does not locate private lines, including
gas lines from the meter to the house, water lines, sewer lines, septic systems, sprinkler systems. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to know the location of any private lines.
Storm Shelter Permits
If your city requires a storm shelter permit, it is the homeowner’s responsibility to obtain it before installation. Permit requirements and pricing vary by city. (For more details, check the specific service area page for your location!)

FAQ
Yes! Every storm shelter we install meets or exceeds FEMA 320 and ICC 500 guidelines for safety and construction standards.
The best time to purchase a storm shelter is during the off-season, typically between September and February.
Buying during these months helps you avoid longer wait times and weather delays.
Don’t wait until spring if you want your shelter installed before storm season begins — by then, our schedule is often booked months in advance.
(And remember, in Oklahoma, weather can turn severe earlier than expected!)
Storm shelters can add value to your home by offering safety, peace of mind, and a strong selling point for potential buyers.
However, the exact impact depends on factors like the type of shelter, your location, and the local housing market.
