How to Find a Reliable Water Damage Restoration Company

Water damage can quickly turn a part of your home, office, or business into an unusable waste of real estate. Water damage can lead to structural deterioration and threaten other parts of your property by way of rotting of wood, rusting of steel, de-laminating of materials such as plywood, and more. Water is not only essential for human life. You can expect mold, mildew, and other harmful microorganisms to flourish in areas with still water.

What should you do? Always clean spills and use containers to catch dripping leaks before damage starts. Be sure to have your plumber inspect any old pipes in your building. Most importantly, for those devastating instances of water damage, have a trusted water damage restoration company ready on call.

It can be tough choosing the best option with so many water damage restoration companies out there. To make the selection easier for you, we have put together a list of expectations you should have.

Water damage only gets worse with time as microorganisms proliferate and the building structure deteriorates. Not only should your water damage restorati

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,…

on company arrive quickly, but they should be available for emergencies 24/7. A company that provides around-the-clock service is one that is dedicated to its mission. Fast response is especially crucial if the water damage has occurred during the cold of winter.

Licensed Experts

Water damage is not a joke. As mentioned earlier, still water is breeding grounds for unwanted bacteria and other microorganisms. Your selected company should employ trained, licensed, and certified technicians that know what they are dealing with. Be sure to choose a company with technicians that value customer service just as much as technical service.

Insurance Claim Assistance

Insurance companies can be difficult to deal with as they scrutinize your insurance claim. Look for a water restoration company that has experience and success with insurance claim assistance. A positive and professional company knows that a successful insurance claim is a win-win for both the company and the customer. Select a company that is dedicated and responsive to your needs. A great company will help you with properly filing the right documents and submitting them timely and honestly.

Never an Overtime Charge
r restoration company that knows what it’s doing should be able to identify water damage and give you an honest, upfront price. Overtime fees and estimate fees should not be a thing. A valuable company will be dedicated to completing the work immaculately and on time. Not much is more ridiculous than being charged for an estimate. If a company is charging you for an estimate, then be sure to expect more cost and fee surprises.
