Rainwater, leaks, and floods can cause incredible amounts of damage, leading to expensive repairs and renovation costs down the road. Though leaks or water damage often seem tiny at first, but they can generate enormous waste, damage to the property and a nuisance to your daily life and routine.
Naturally, you will want to get things back to normal after a water damage occurrence caused by a leaky pipe, rainstorm or flood. For this reason, you need to protect your home and investments. If you also live in a flood prone area, protecting your home can mitigate loss during a water damage event. In the face of this looming threat, experts at Tidal Wave Response have come up with some best ways to prevent most water damage conditions.
Inspect Your Roof
Periodic roof inspection allows you to detect leaks, uncover unseen deterioration, and reveal areas that need improvement. You may also need to inspect your roof after a large storm event. Check for missing or broken shingles, cracked flashing, plant or moss growth, and debris.
When inspection needs are put on the back burner, water can
Hi. I don’t know where to start. John and Tidal wave his company were and still are a blessing from my Lord. One morning in January of this year I went down stairs and stepped in a puddle of water it was flooded. I also passed out. This was the second one in less than a year. I stood there for a minute and just cried. All I could think of was my insurance company may not take care of it a second time even if it was for a different leak. The last claim they paid out $23,000 for…

I have worked in sales and also have experience in launching my own business. It is rare that you find a company that genuinely has your best interest in mind. Not only was John helpful outside of his business’ expertise, but he sent Chris to do a *free* evaluation of our water damage. John and Chris were both genuine and personable. They cared about what our situation was and they weren’t looking to get any sort of “fee” for their time. These are the kind of people you trust to handle big, catastrophic water damage to. I have previously had…
While others might categorize John as a fast talker, but on the other hand. I saw a man that's passionate about his business and willing to help others elevate their present situation. In early December 2022, our laundry room floor and wall got water damaged due to leakage from the hotline pipe, and other rooms got impacted due to water spreading. So, I reached out to John and he assured me they'll do everything within their power to get our house done before Christmas day. Boy was he right! John and the tidalwave response team were professional, helpful and got…
We did not plan to renovate our terrace level but when the hot water heater leaked and flooded the entire area, Tidal Wave was recommended to us by the plumber who installed the new hot water heater. John, the owner was at our house the same evening and mitigation started early the next morning. The crew professionally removed wet drywall, flooring, and baseboard. Fans and dehumidifiers ran for several days and then the fun began. With Colin's help we were able to choose updated flooring, repaint a color of our choice, and new trim was installed. Everything was completed professionally.…
Wow incredible company! I had a water damage that destroyed my entire main level. John and his team are very quick and efficient. When I was looking on google, tidal wave response was the only water restoration company with a 5 star review. Highly recommended using tidal wave response!!
I had a flood in my downstairs living room. It was devastating. John with Tidal wave was very professional. He had his team show up immediately to get the job done. Great work Tidal Wave. I'm definitely going to refer you to others.
Thank Goodness !!! Johnny on the spot! We had a pipe ruptured in the ceiling and we were looking for a 5 Star Rated Water Restoration company . Johnny came out with a Thermal Camera and found the pipe spraying behind the wall. I wish I would have called him sooner . My wood floors were so damaged by the water, they all will need to be replaced. We highly recommended Johnny with Tidal Wave. Very knowledgeable and even helped us start a claim with our insurance ..
Had a shaky start with this particular project but I must say the owner took charge and corrected all the remaining issues. I will say that this particular job was the absolute worst I have taken on in 45 yrs. My hat is off to Mike and his crew and Allan was superb in making sure everything was done correctly. Thank you for your follow-up on this project guys. And Allan thank you especially for your thoroughness in making sure it was completed correctly.
Unfortunately, my water heater was old, cracked, and leaking water onto the supported area in my garage. I needed to replace the water heater with a new one, but the plumber told me that in order to meet the city code, I would have to handle the water damage first. I called out tidal wave (who I’ve worked with before), and they came out the very next day to cut out the affected area and treat for mold. This is my second issue with water in my house and tidal wave has taken care of both issues. They are fast,…
Clean your gutters
Clean your gutter properly a few times a year. The best schedule for cleaning is spring and then again in the fall after the trees have dropped their leaves. In the event of a large storm, add an extra cleaning to remove all detritus.
Accumulated debris can lead to wear and tear on the gutters. Clogged gutters can also misdirect water and cause pooling of rainwater near your foundation, leading to cracks and water damage. Clean and functional gutters will help channel water away from your home’s roof and foundation.
If you lack the required handyman skill for the gutter cleaning process, call a qualified service provider for professional help.
Understand your Insurance Policy
Due to extreme weather conditions, floods can happen regardless of the amount of preparedness, especially when yo
Usually, water damage caused by rainwater and burst pipes is covered by standard homeowner’s policy, while damage from flooding needs separate flood insurance.
You may want to touch base with your insurance agent or broker for clarification on specific insurance terms and how your insurer uses them.
The Bottom Line
Though unexpected problems such as rainwater intrusion, leaks, and flood can lead to water damage, preparation lets you prevent or mitigate water damage conditions. With that, make sure to regularly inspect your roof, maintain clean and functional gutters, and have your insurance coverage ready just in case.
If you, however, face a water damage condition, quickly call the water damage experts at Tidal Wave response for immediate cleanup and restoration of your home to its original condition or better. Our service professionals never disappoint.
