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,…
Unwanted materials clogging sewer lines include food solids, excess fats and oils, paper towels, and sanitary napkins. These items can come from plumbing fixtures in the kitchen, toilet, and bathtubs. Additionally, poorly constructed sewer lines are more likely to cause sewer backing up into homes, especially in the event of ground shifting or tree root intrusion.
What are the Common Hazards Associated with Sewer Backups?
Micro-organisms such as parasites, viruses, and bacteria can spread like wild-fire in the area containing sewer water. And exposure to sewer water can cause short-term or prolonged health problems like painful irritation, rashes, and allergies.
Also, standing sewer water can damage property and possessions such as paper documents, carpets, clothes, and so on. Even the structural integrity of the wall and flooring systems could be at stake.
When faced with sewer backup cases, try as much as possible to avoid contact with the sewer water. This helps you avoid contaminants lurking in the background,
Can I Clean The Mess Myself?
Though you’re responsible for making your home a safe place to live, do not try to clean up the mess if you aren’t knowledgeable about effective cleaning procedures. It’s best not to “self-clean†because sewer water extraction requires an advanced level of cleaning, professional-grade equipment, and stronger disinfectants.
However, you may handle the situation if your home has only experienced minor damage. However, ensure to wear protective gloves, rubber boots, goggles, and take other necessary precautions to minimize your contact with the sewer water.
Always Use the Services of a Professional For Sewer Backup Issues!
Either for minor or major damage caused by sewer backup, using a reliable service professional is recommended because the affected area must be distinctly cleaned and sanitized.
With an experienced professional by your side, you can have the peace of mind that your home will be livable once more. So, if you notice any issue with your plumbing system or you already have a sewer backup challenge, you need to call experts at Tidal Wave Response.
