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.
What a great company! I called to ask questions and within minutes I was scheduling someone to come to my home and save me from my water damage. 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. Worked very fast and cleaned up behind themselves as if they were never there. It was like watch a action movie. Setup the dryers and other equipment very fast also and organized our furniture so that we could get to things as needed. 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 had a water damage in our home and we Googled water damage restoration. We had 2 companies come out for an inspection and...

Rob showed a very compassionate side of how a service professional treats his customer. Our choice was Tidal Wave Response based on their outstanding reviews and knowledge of insurance claims. Tidal Wave also met with the claims adjuster for our property damage inspection. This was…
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!
Detect Wiring Problems Early
Be sensitive to circuit breakers. These units are designed to trip off whenever the system is overloaded. It’s common for a home circuit breaker to trip once in a while. But do something if this becomes frequent. It’s best to touch base with a qualified service professional for immediate wiring inspection.
Likewise, the life of the wiring system decreases with years and use. You can tell when a wiring system needs attention when lights start fluctuating or dimming. Older home wirings in this case are particularly susceptible.
Use Extension Cords the Right Way
Extension cords are useful and can be hazardous at the same time especially when cracked or broken. To prevent residential electric fire arising from extension cords, use cords that are rated to handle the wattage of the appliance or device with which they
