As a homeowner, water damage in the basement is one of the problems you'll never want to experience. Whether it’s caused by water supply line failure, improperly installed downspouts, a leaking appliance, or improper sealing on the flooring and walls, you need to take care of it right away. In addition to causing structural problems that can cost you a lot of money to fix, basement water damage can pose a great risk to your home’s value.
Here are tips for dealing with water damage in the basement:
The first step in remedying basement water damage is stopping the source of the water, if possible. While you can’t stop water damage caused by natural causes such as a storm, you can turn off the main water valve if the problem is caused by a plumbing malfunction. It’s also advisable to turn off electricity to prevent electrical risks such as electrocution.
Once you’ve stopped the water source, call a water damage company right away to commence the restoration process. The restoration team will start with inspecting the basement to determine the damage’s extent and the best actions to take. Depending on the amount of standing water, they can use a mop to soak it up or pump it out using submersible pumps. Thereafter, the water damage company will dry it out using dehumidifiers and air movers. After the drying process, the restoration team will clean and disinfect the basement using antimicrobial treatments.
After basement water damage has been addressed, it’s important to take preventative measures to prevent water damage in the future. You’ll want to inspect your gutters, fix foundation cracks, keep your plumbing in good condition, and install a sump pump in your basement.
John came out within 2 hours of our call for help. Within 4 hours of him coming out his team was hear ripping up our basement and saving it from mold. I owe them 40k because that's what it would have cost if they didn't help as quick as they did. Will tell all 3 of my friends about them. Rob also great and so was the team, so professional, so quick.
I had some water damage above my garage after a plumbing incident and was very upset about it. Thankfully Justin and his team at tidal wave made the experience easy and much less of a headache. His team took out the damaged drywall did a full restoration and cleaned up after themselves. Made my damaged ceiling look brand new.
We thought Tidal Wave did great work with our water damage remediation and repair. Everyone who showed up was professional and skillful. We had some challenges with scheduling communications and delays but everyone was generally responsive and helpful. We appreciated that they were a one stop shop that could handle everything for us. We would definitely recommend Tidal Wave to others.
Tidal Wave is one of a kind! I had a pipe that burst and they responded the same day! The team lead, Chris, was extremely professional and courteous. He assured me that I would be taken care of and I was totally impressed with their swift response time. The owner, Johnny, called and told me he was sorry I had experienced water damage in my home and also assured me that everything would be fine. The project manager, Justin, was also extremely kind and provided me with beautiful replacement floor samples. Once my floors are finished, I’m going to submit…
Talk about a company that lives up to it`s name! Called them in the morning within an hour Rob a very professional representative showed up at the house and helped me file a claim. Twenty minutes later a crew showed up and began demo. A few hours later Tidal Wave Response had figured out the leak was gone. Everything happened so fast and efficiently. They helped us understand what our insurance covered and guaranteed the demo would be covered by insurance or them. We are so happy to be working with this company and highly recommend them.

Very responsive and the demo crew was amazing and professional!! The repairs to my Kitchen are about to start and I cant wait to see the end result! Thank you Tidal Wave!!
Very, very professional from start to finish. Crew came into my home removed all of the damage items that was damaged by a water leak from the upper level of the home.

Tidal Wave made a very bad situation feel okay, I`m thankful that we chose you guys. Again thanks for being so professional and responsive

We highly recommend Tidal Wave Response! Johnny came out late last night to assess a failed water heater that flooded our finished basement. He coordinated with Mr. Rooter Plumbing to have a plumber dispatched at 11:45PM who confirmed the water was shut off and put some emergency repairs in place to ensure no further damage would occur. This morning at 7:10 AM (20 minutes earlier than expected) the Tidal Wave Response team was on site at our house. They assessed the damage, and assisted us in contacting our home owners insurance company to create our insurance claim. They preformed the…
My upstairs bathroom overflowed. The water ran into two of my bedrooms and the hallway. My wife called Tidal Wave and they were at our home in less than an hour. Johnny`s team came out and were very quick and professional. They sucked up the water set equipment and the supervisor explained the process. They even offered to do our repairs and said they would handle it all. My wife and I are very pleased so far. I will make it my business to recommend this company to family and friends. This company is honest, and gets the job done.
So far GREAT!!! They came right out, took out wet walls, cleaned up perfectly (no dust) set up fans. I’m going to use them to put the walls back up and paint too! They are going to meet with my field insurance agent, too, to make sure everything is covered. Fingers crossed they continue to be great!
