Extreme hoarding requires extreme cleaning
4/11/2023 (Permalink)
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Breathe easier with clean air ducts
8/11/2022 (Permalink)
Clean ducts provide cleaner air
Did you know your HVAC system can become contaminated with particles of dust, pollen, pet hair and other debris?
Take a look at your air intakes and air registers. Are they clean? If not, you should consider cleaning your airducts.
This often-overlooked cleaning is a must if you notice the intakes are infested with rodents or insects, or if they have an excessive amount of pet hair or post construction debris. Also, if moisture is present, the potential for microbiological growth (e.g., mold) is increased and spores from such growth may be released into your home or office.
Some of these contaminants may cause allergic reactions or other symptoms in people if they are exposed to them.
If you decide to have your heating and cooling system cleaned, it is important to hire the trained professionals at SERVPRO of Lawton.
Got odors?
4/10/2022 (Permalink)
Here to help eliminate bad odors
As experts in deodorization, SERVPRO of Lawton technicians are trained to identify and eliminate offensive odors.
These odors can come from a number of sources both inside and outside a structure, including dead rodents, animal urine, fireplace odors and cigarette smoke.
Every SERVPRO of Lawton technician wears personal protective equipment (a.k.a. PPE; think lined suits, booties, layers of gloves and respirators) to guard against inhalation of contaminates such as blood- and air-borne pathogens.
Once the source of the odor has been identified, our technicians will employ HEPA filters, air scrubbers, ozone machines and fogging machines to target and remove the odor.
Odor treatments may take hours, or days, depending on the source, and we may recommend a thorough SERVPRO clean to ensure all surfaces are clean and completely odor free.
Bad odors? Call the professionals at SERVPRO of Lawton.

The world has changed what is means to be clean.
The pandemic of 2020 made us rethink what "clean" actually means. Because it's no longer just a commercial cleaning, a carpet cleaning, or a duct cleaning.
Now, it's an antimicrobial and antiviral cleaning. Cleaning and sanitizing and thoroughly wiping down all common surfaces in commercial buildings to help prevent the spread of viral pathogens.
Utilizing our proprietary products and expert training, SERVPRO of Lawton has helped area businesses show their customers and employees that they care about their health, and the health of their environment.
Our Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned service gives cleaning a whole new meaning. And it provides peace of mind to everyone who enters those businesses.

Graffiti damage requires special cleaning
8/24/2020 (Permalink)
Vandals damage school property
Bored teenagers decided it would be fun to break into a local school and redecorate with spray paint and fire extinguishers.
The damage was extensive, and more than the janitorial team could handle. They called SERVPRO of Lawton.
Our inspection found over 5000 square feet of damage in the gym, from the floors to the audio visual booth upstairs.
Harmful and slanderous slogans were painted on walls and furniture, and numerous fire extinguishers were emptied throughout the facility.
Our restoration plan was to clean the phosphate left by the extinguishers, then clean all the graffiti painted surfaces.
The scope of work was estimated to take five days, which would have allowed for the schools awards ceremonies and other events to take place as scheduled.
But then COVID-19 shut down the schools, and most of the entire state of Oklahoma.
Graffiti damage became a small problem, and one that the janitorial team suddenly had time to clean.
We didn't get to restore this school, but we did work with their staff and share solutions to help them perform a self-help project.
Because that's the SERVPRO way. We're here to help.

Professional cleaning for your home or business
Cleaning curtains is one of those household chores that people put off for years. The hassle of taking them down, finding a dry cleaner, then hanging them back up is more work than most of us have time for.
Did you know most curtains are made of woven fabrics that gather dust, pet hair, and dander — even mold spores?
Over time, these things accumulate, and your window treatments start to look dingy. Some fabrics require minimal care while others, like embroidered or brocade patterns with layers and linings, require professional cleaning.
SERVPRO of Lawton offers a variety of cleaning options for your home or business, including on-site cleaning to minimize interruption.

Exposed ducts attract dirt and dust.
While we love the visual appearance of exposed ducting, this industrial trend keeps a hidden secret: dirt and dust.

As always, we start at the top (ceilings) and clean our way to the bottom (flooring).
One surprise? The exposed ducting had not been cleaned in years, leaving a heavy coating of dirt, dust, and lots of dust bunnies.
Never deterred by dirt, our highly trained professionals vacuumed, dusted, and washed the entire surface of the duct until it shined like new.
