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, 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... Honestly we were very pleased with the punctuality & knowledge of Rob at Tidal Wave Response. He was very soft and well spoken and listened to our concerns about our home. 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!

Air Movers

There are natural processes that help mitigate the risk of water damage. Evaporation is the natural way that moisture and humidity dries. Air movers are tools that increase air circulation. By circulating air and preventing moisture in the air to settle, air movers speed up water evaporation and reduce drying time. These are especially useful if you have carpets and wooden or cloth furniture affected by water damage. There are plenty of models on the market with varying speeds, sizes, and special features.

Air Scrubbers

The air we breath is often contaminated with a plethora of pollutants and harmful particles. This is especially true if you have suffered water damage. Water is a giver of life and this life includes bacteria, mold, mildew, and other microbes. Air scrubbers are air cleaning devices that eliminate pollutants that are too small to be captured by the average air filter. These devices work by producing neg

Dehumidifiers

The tool that is most familiar among the general community is the dehumidifier. Humidity levels above 50% are found to host dust mites, mold, mildew, and other allergens. A dehumidifier combats this scenario by removing excess moisture and humidity from the air. These devices are generally the biggest weapons in a water damage restoration contractor’s arsenal and come in many sizes and powers.
