Medical facilities are there to help when we need them. But who helps them, when they need it?
The cleanup and restoration experts at SERVPRO of Lawton.
We were here when a local facility called with a large water leak. While patient care could be rerouted to another facility, some critical areas, such as their in-house labs, needed attention immediately.

We also had multiple teams of content cleaning professionals on site to clean the contents of their exam rooms, lobby, offices and common areas.

When you're a 24/7 business, you trust the 24/7 team at SERVPRO
Who do you call when a burst pipes floods an entire complex at your manufacturing facility?
Locals who know, call SERVPRO.
Our SERVPRO of Lawton team responded early one morning to the call of a manufacturing plant who had an entire building flooded.
Our team of cleanup and restoration experts arrived onsite and met with members of the management and maintenance teams to determine the scope of work.
While one team began setting up generators and unloading a large truck load of equipment, other team members worked to extract standing water and move furniture and office equipment.
By the end of the first day, drying equipment was in place and two teams of content personnel were hard at work cleaning each section.
It's a big job, but not too big for the cleanup and restoration experts at SERVPRO of Lawton.

From small retail stores to large manufacturers, we're here to help when damage happens
There is no such thing as a small disaster.
Your toilet overflowing is just as devastating as my neighbors kitchen fire.
And both are as disastrous as this local manufacturers roof being torn off during a recent storm.
Our SERVPRO of Lawton's professionally trained technicians arrived shortly after the event and immediately set out to inspect the entire facility for damage.
Our teams understood the plant managers concern regarding the restoration process and timing the restoration to avoid disruption.
We understood the plant employees concerns regarding a safe, clean environment.
Together, we worked the established plan.
And we got the plant to our SERVPRO level of dry. Because that's what we do.
You see, there is no such thing as a small disaster.
At this site, we had employees concerned about safety, and payroll.
We had plant management concerned about inventories and quotas. And payroll.
We had our SERVPRO of Lawton team, who brought the expertise, the resources, and their compassion to this customer's site.

Water damage doesn't dampen sermon
3/19/2021 (Permalink)
Restoring the sanctuary before services
The past year has been hard on businesses. Many were forced to close due to the pandemic, or operate at reduced capacity.
Houses of worship were hit especially hard, as all were closed and unable to comfort their congregations.
As restrictions eased and church families were once again hoping to gather, some faced additional delays due to water damage.
Too often, these once bustling gathering places had been left unattended for months, with limited to no maintenance or temperature control.
Thankfully, this church family was in the building cleaning and preparing for the next day's sermon when they discovered water damage.
They quickly called SERVPRO of Lawton to extract water and begin the drying process, hoping it would not interfere with their return to worship.
Our team of professionally trained experts worked throughout the day to stabilize the environment so they could enjoy their Sunday gathering, and we returned after services to continue the restoration process.

Water damage in server room threatens connectivity

Water damage did not affect communications
Have you ever wondered why your telephone or internet connections suddenly stop working?
While there are many common reasons (contractor cut a line), in this case it was water damage.
Or it would have been, if the customer hadn't already called SERVPRO of Lawton.
This communication company immediately switched connectivity to a backup location when employees noticed water standing on the floors.
And they called the 24/7 team at SERVPRO of Lawton for immediate assistance.
Our professionally trained technicians quickly (and carefully) began to extract water from the main server room, as well as all adjacent rooms.

Searching for water leaks
You may not realize it, but not all water leaks are easy to trace.
When a large pool of water was discovered in the hallway, housekeeping was called in to clean it up.
Later that day, the water reappeared. So maintenance was called to locate the source. They checked all adjacent plumbing fixtures, the ceiling, and the HVAC system but could not find the leak.
As water continued to be a hazard in the hallway, the customer called SERVPRO of Lawton.
Our team arrived on site and again checked all the typical sources, but could not find a leak.
Utilizing our thermal camera, we detected a small wet spot on the fixed ceiling above the drop ceiling.
Next stop was the roof. After determining where the leak could be in relation to the hallway, our team found a roof drain that was not sealed and was indeed the cause of loss.
The right equipment, together with our expertise, resolved this water damage mystery.

We assured them our technicians were on the way, and there would be no interruption to their business.
Upon inspection, our team found a water shut off valve in the adjacent bathroom was leaking. They turned to valve off, and recommended the manager call a plumber.
In the meantime, they extracted the standing water, removed baseboards, set up equipment and established a drying protocol.

Water damage didn't interrupt this congregation
COVID-19 interrupted the lives, and businesses of people across the country.
Every public venue, like churches, were closed. Buildings were shuttered until they were allowed to reopen, often at reduced capacity.
And unused buildings didn't fare well once they were put back into use.
Like this church. Even though all utilities remained on, and the HVAC system maintained, the plumbing was not in a cooperative mood when the congregation returned.
The first weekend after services were held, a clean water line in the bathroom cracked, flooding one whole wing with water.
Thankfully the staff discovered it quickly and called SERVPRO of Lawton.
Our team responded quickly, inspected the damaged areas and began extracting water. Our secondary team removed baseboards and began setting up equipment.
Because we utilize the science of drying in our restoration process, there was no interruption to services the following week.

2020 has been a challenging year for businesses. Many closed due to COVID-19 concerns, and are slowly reopening their doors.
This local business had just reopened when another disaster struck: sewage waste bubbled up a floor drain and covered the entire facility.
The manager called SERVPRO of Lawton. She trusts us to clean and restore their various properties, and we're always here to help.
Our team was ready to begin the clean up and restoration process the moment the plumbers left.
Recently installed vinyl plank flooring was removed, as well as sheet rock and insulation. All contaminated and damaged furniture was carefully documented and removed, along with other items the staff determined was not needed.
Five days of demolition, cleaning and sanitizing were required to restore a healthy environment.
Today, all restoration has been completed, and all employees are back to work in their newly furnished spaces.

Vandals target school
4/15/2020 (Permalink)
Vandals left graffiti and other damage at this school.
We recently were called to a local school after officials discovered vandals had broken in and created a lot of damage.
They started by painting the security cameras, followed by the front windows of the auditorium.
Inside, we found spray paint in every room. On the glass trophy display cases. Blocking the mascots logo. On the piano. Even up on the lighting pad for the stage.
The vandals also found every fire extinguisher in the building and sprayed the entire auditorium.
No wall, no surface was left untouched.
What a mess! As you can see in the photo, the aisle between the seating areas is covered in the powder from the extinguishers.
And the walls are filled with graffiti.
It's a sad scene, and one we're all too familiar with.
This level of mess requires the trusted experts at SERVPRO of Lawton. We have the experience, and the equipment, to make this mess "Like it never even happened."

Call centers never close. So when water damage struck this call center after a remodel, they called SERVPRO of Lawton.
Our team of highly trained technicians responded immediately and began extracting water from the wet areas.
They also documented the post construction cleaning that was needed, and we created two separate jobs to document each item thoroughly.
The "wet" team documented the size of the area they were extracting so they would know the exact number of air movers and dehumidifiers they would need.
The "cleaning" team set up containment between the two areas and also documented the size of the area and the level of cleaning required.
Both teams worked in shifts to accommodate the call center and their customers.
When this job was complete, the staff and employees were grateful they had a new, clean work area, and thanked us for working with them during this loss.
