Coverage Detail

What We Cover in Oakdale

Where we travel, what the property mix looks like, and what to tell us when you call.

Oakdale is half a square mile and completely landlocked: North Fayette Township to the north, South Fayette to the south, and no river frontage at all. Robinson Run, a tributary of Chartiers Creek, flows through the south-eastern part of the borough, which matters more than it sounds, because that is the water that arrived in 2004. Tell us the street and whether you are near the run.

Typical Properties

A small, older village core with century-old houses, plus a commercial strip that never fully came back after the 2004 flood. Doors in the core carry original cylinders, and many have been reset or replaced since the flooding, so the hardware is a mix of period and post-2004 rather than one era. There is very little new build because there is very little land to build on.

Access & Dispatch Notes

Driveways and on-street parking, with no access problem across 0.47 square miles. What is worth saying is whether a door has given trouble since the flood, because a water-swollen frame and a moved strike are a different repair from a lock that has simply failed. Businesses in the borough were destroyed in 2004 and many never reopened, so commercial calls here are few and specific.

Frequently Asked Questions

Oakdale FAQs

Quick answers for Oakdale customers.

When was Oakdale incorporated?
1892. It is a landlocked borough in Allegheny County, bordered by North Fayette Township to the north and South Fayette Township to the south, with no river frontage of its own.
What happened in 1918?
On 18 May 1918 a TNT explosion at a chemical factory in the borough killed 200 people. It remains the deadliest single incident in the borough’s history.
What happened in 2004?
On 17 September 2004 the remnants of Hurricane Ivan flooded Oakdale. The ground had already been saturated by rain from Hurricane Frances ten days earlier, so the water had nowhere to go.
How bad was the 2004 flood?
The borough was devastated. There was a large-scale evacuation, Red Cross volunteers and National Guard members were brought in to control the confusion, businesses were destroyed and many never reopened, and residents whose homes were condemned were displaced.
Is there a watercourse in the borough?
Yes, Robinson Run, a tributary of Chartiers Creek, which flows through the south-eastern part of the borough. It is the reason the 2004 flooding hit as hard as it did.
How big is Oakdale?
0.47 square miles, all land, with 1,475 residents at the 2020 census. It is small enough that a van can cross the whole borough in a couple of minutes.
Can a door still be affected by flooding years later?
Yes. Water swells a frame and moves the strike, so a door that closed cleanly before can bind or fail to latch afterwards. That is a frame and hinge repair rather than a lock replacement, and we test the door before quoting.
