Storm damages church - again.

Removal of carpet shows damaged sub-floor

Did you know your odds of being hit by lightning over an 80-year lifespan are roughly 1 in 3000?

That's much better than the odds this church faced when two storm systems days apart damaged the property.

Torrential rains damaged the retention walls surrounding the church and led to massive amounts of water flooding into the property.

SERVPRO of Lawton professionals were called to quickly begin the extraction, cleaning and drying process.

While working to remove the mud and other debris, a second storm system formed and deposited another round of water into the building.

Our crews worked diligently to remove the standing water and began to demo damaged flooring and walls.

You can see the damage done in the chapel area in this photo. Removing the carpet showed severely damaged sub-floors, which also had to be removed.

All told, the congregation was without a home for just over a month as new decking and floor coverings were installed.

Two storms. One phone call to SERVPRO of Lawton.
