Water heater leak ruins NEW carpet..

Before purchasing new carpet, might we recommend you check your hot water heater?

Here at SERVPRO of Lawton, we respond to a lot of water damage calls. And quite often the culprit is an old hot water heater.

Manufacturers recommend replacing these every ten years. They know the majority of hot water heaters last between eight and tens years.

We also know that even if your hot water heater is in a location that won't cause a lot of damage if there is a leak, even those in the garage could still cause damage to adjoining rooms.

When was the last time you checked your hot water heater? Does it have a drip pan? Is it plumbed to the outside to prevent water damage?

Water damage? Call the trusted experts at SERVPRO of Lawton at 580-699-2662.

For all Upholstery & Carpet Cleanings Call Us!

Did you know that carpet and upholstery act as a filter, trapping dust, dirt, gases, animal hair, and other soils in their fibers?

While most manufacturers recommend cleaning these items every year, your home may require it more, or less, often.

If you have children and pets, you should definitely clean your carpet and upholstery once a year. Spot cleaning is also recommended when messes occur.

No children or pets? You can probably clean every two years, spot cleaning as needed.

You can preserve the life of your carpet by using preventative maintenance actions such as: 

• Regular vacuuming
• Spot removal
• Pilating the carpet to prevent matting
• Moving furniture to change traffic patterns
• Using walk-off mats to limit the amount of soil tracked onto the carpet

At the end of the day, look down. If the carpet looks matted and stained, call the trusted experts at SERVPRO of Lawton for a professional cleaning.
