Lawton homes and water damage
Older homes near downtown date from the 1940s–1960s. West Lawton has mostly 1970s–2000s slab homes. Many Lawton homes are 1950s–1980s slab houses with aging water heaters, supply lines and drains. Many are rentals for military families at Fort Sill, and frequent moves mean slow leaks can run for weeks before anyone reports them. Red clay soils swell and shrink, stressing slabs and the plumbing beneath them. Attic water heaters and AC units can overflow into ceilings.
Hail damage
Large hail damages roofs and gutters.
Tornadoes
Spring storms bring tornado damage.
Ice storms
Winter ice brings down trees and power lines.
Military rental turnover
Frequent moves mean slow leaks go unreported.
Flash flooding
Heavy rain floods creeks and low streets.
Freeze bursts
Arctic cold snaps freeze pipes in attics and exterior walls, as in February 2021.
Wind damage
High plains winds tear shingles and drive rain into attics and walls.

Older homes have galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains that leak and clog with age.
