Local risks: Lawton and Comanche County

Local conditions in Lawton follow the broader pattern across Oklahoma. Oklahoma's violent spring storm season brings tornadoes, giant hail and flash floods, while ice storms and hard freezes burst pipes in winter. Most homes sit on slabs over expansive clay, which makes slab leaks and foundation movement common. Problems tend to peak during april through june severe-weather season, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Pinhole leaks in copper lines inside walls
• Split supply lines that only start leaking once a hard freeze thaws
• Tornado and straight-line wind damage that opens roofs and walls to rain
• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Fire-suppression water after a kitchen or electrical fire
• Furnace malfunctions at the start of heating season
• Lightning strikes and downed power lines during severe storms
• Window condensation and attic frost in winter
• Slab leaks that keep flooring and bottom plates damp for months

Before the crew arrives

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• Shut off the main water valve if the source is a plumbing failure, and turn off power to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed

When and where damage happens in Lawton

Whatever the construction type in Lawton, the pattern is the same: the visible damage is usually a fraction of what the moisture meter finds.

Winter brings frozen and burst pipes; spring and summer bring the heavy rain, saturated ground and sump failures that flood lower levels. Home fires peak in winter, when space heaters, fireplaces and furnaces are running and holiday cooking and decorating add risk. Winter condensation on windows and in attics, followed by spring moisture in basements and crawlspaces, gives mold two seasons to get started.
