Elmer Thomas founded Medicine Park on July 4, 1908, as a resort and a water source for nearby Lawton. It calls itself America's first cobblestone community, and the stone cabins and buildings are still what people come to see. Two dams on Medicine Creek form the Bath Lake swimming hole, and Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys played the dance hall here through the 1930s. The town had 411 residents at the 2020 census, with many properties used as cabins and rentals.
We do not have a Medicine Park office. Crews come from the Lawton satellite at 1511 W Gore Blvd, Suite 8, Lawton and Elgin headquarters at 302 Commercial Loop, Suite 4, Elgin, both a short drive away. Call (580) 574-2383, including if you own a rental here and live elsewhere. See the Elgin hub.
Stone and mortar do not dry like drywall and studs. Water works into mortar joints and the framing behind stone walls and stays there. We extract, then meter the stone, the mortar, and the framing behind it, and we dry longer when the readings call for it rather than pulling equipment on a schedule.
Creek-side and hillside properties also take runoff in heavy rain. We document where the water came from, because outside water and a plumbing leak are handled differently by most policies.
Rental owners need the property back quickly and need the work documented for both the insurance claim and the next guest. We photograph and date everything, keep you updated if you are not local, and schedule the rebuild so the cabin is back in service as soon as it is dry and safe.
Dry brush on the hills around town carries real wildfire risk. We clean smoke and ash from exteriors, interiors, and HVAC, treat odor, and handle structure fires from board-up through rebuild.
Closed-up cabins and stone walls that stay damp are where mold starts. We fix the moisture, contain, remove, and dry before rebuilding.
We also work Lawton, Cache, Elgin, and Fort Sill-area homes.
