Extreme hoarding requires extreme cleaning

Call the certified experts at SERVPRO of Lawton.

Hoarding can create a big mess in the home, but it can also pose a huge health risk to anyone who suffers from it. The health problems a hoarder might face varies depending on the severity of the situation, and what exactly they collect.

1. Disease.Poor air quality, mildew and fungus, and illnesses related to unsanitary conditions are some of the most common hoarder health problems. Poor sanitation generally occurs among animal hoarders, food hoarders, and trash hoarders, as they are exposed to toxic substances such as feces, rotting food, and other chemicals.
2. Tripping and Falling.With all the stuff piled up in the home, it’s easy to trip, fall, and sprain an ankle – or worse. The more rooms start to fill up with unneeded items, the more likely a slip or a tumble can occur, and injuries can range in severity depending on what there is to break the fall.
3. Fire hazards.On top of creating obstacles to stumble over, the clutter in a hoarder home can result in a huge fire hazard. Not only are items such as clothing, mail, and some electronics flammable when not stored properly, but blocked entryways and cluttered floors can cause hoarders to be unable to exit their homes or be rescued in the event of an actual fire.
4. Infestation.All the clutter accumulating in a hoarder’s home is the perfect breeding ground for bed bugs, roaches, rodents, and other pests. These pests also pose their own health risks.

Lightening strikes can cause fire damage

When fire damage happens, call the trusted experts at SERVPRO of Lawton

It's severe weather season in Texoma.

In addition to supercell thunderstorms that bring torrential rain and hurricane force winds or tornadoes, these storms also produce an intense light show.

And, while we often hear of grass fires associated with lightening strikes, you may not realize your home or business can also suffer fire damage during severe storms.

The National Weather Service reports that lightning is the cause of about 25,000 fires, including about 4400 house fires, 1800 other structural fires, and numerous wildfires. 

And not all damage is immediately noticed. Small sparks from a strike can hide in your attic or walls, or electrical appliances can spark and start a slow fire.

And while you can't prevent a lightening strike, you can help prevent a fire by unplugging electrical devices during severe storms.

And if fire damage happens? Call the name you know and the brand you trust to properly restore your property.

The 1979 tornado outbreak will never be forgotten

4/9/2023 (Permalink)

Here to help when severe weather damage happens

It's been 41 years since one of the most destructive tornadoes tore through the Texoma area killing 58 people. Three lives were lost here in Lawton, and more in the city of Wichita Falls back on April 10th, 1979.

The Red River Valley tornado outbreak of April 10, 1979 is one of the most significant tornado outbreaks that ever occurred in western north Texas and southern Oklahoma.

An F4 tornado struck Lawton, destroying over 116 structures, and damaging over 330 others. Unanchored homes were completely swept from their foundations.

1,740 people were injured, the most ever by an F4/EF4 tornado in United States history. 

Overall, sixty tornadoes were confirmed throughout the duration of this storm, which lasted for over 38 hours.

Today, teams from SERVPRO of Lawton remain prepared for all types of severe weather, and are trained to help in the cleanup and restoration of damaged properties.

We all pray that we never see another system like this one. But if it happens, we're here to help.
