The perfect storm

Extreme damage leaves little to restore

We see a lot of damages here at SERVPRO of Lawton.

Sadly, this loss was a combination of multiple events that completely destroyed this home.

Truly, the perfect storm.

It began with severe thunderstorms in the area that produced heavy rain, hail, strong winds, and lightning.

In the midst of the storm, lightning struck this home, causing a fire. The residents were able to evacuate quickly and safely, and waited in their car for the fire department to extinguish the flames.

Once they were allowed back into the home to retrieve personal property, they discovered there wasn't much left.

The fire had totally destroyed the roof, causing the upper floor to collapse and allowing water to pour in.

Firefighting efforts had added to the water damage, leaving piles of wet debris.

The family gathered a few items and left the property.

When SERVPRO of Lawton received the call to help with restoration, we inspected the property and found it still wet and covered in mold.

We did provide an estimate to demo the property and safely remove the molded debris, and are awaiting instructions from the homeowner.
