Basements are uncommon in Texoma

Basements attract water and mold.

Texoma has it's own weather patterns.

We could be facing borderline drought conditions, then flood due to heavy rainfall.

That's why few homes in our region have a basement.

The shifting grounds tend to crack the walls, allowing our higher water table to seep in and rain to pour in.

Take this basement. The homeowner had moved out and placed the property up for sale.

He also turned off the electricity.

Why does that matter? Because if you have a basement, you have a sump pump. And that requires electricity to pump water out of the space.

Thankfully, a realtor showing the property knew what the problem was, and how to fix it.

She called SERVPRO of Lawton. Our team of technicians extracted the standing water, established a drying protocol, and treated the area to prevent antimicrobial growth.

She also recommended the power be restored to prevent future issues.
