It's not the heat outside or inside your home that poses the greatest fire risk—it's how you use and maintain your home, especially when you don't realize you're using it or maintaining it unsafely. When there is a fire, there is water to put the fire out, which causes an immediate need for water damage restoration. Tidal Wave Response should be contacted immediately to assist with water damage removal before mold develops, causing a hazardous situation for your family’s health.
Home fires are one of the leading causes of household injuries and deaths in the United States. Although we know how to prevent home fires, every year, thousands of fires still begin in homes or apartments due to unsupervised cooking, heating equipment, holiday decorations, and dried natural materials. If you're worried about fire hazards in your home, you have good reason to be. A fire can happen quickly and easily, causing extensive damage to your property and putting your family at risk.
The kitchen is the heart of your home and is also one of the places that most likely experience fire hazards. For starters, there are cooking appliances and other items in the kitchen that can cause fires. If you have a gas stove or oven, keep them turned off when not in use. Also, make sure cords are out of reach of children and pets.
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,…
When heating your home, ensure adequate ventilation by opening windows and doors during winter. This will prevent smoke from building up inside your home and causing a fire hazard. If you have wood-burning fireplaces or stoves in your home, ensure they are kept clean and in good working order.
If you have holiday decorations in place during winter, take extra precautions, so they don't cause fires. When placing lights outdoors around your house, be sure to use weatherproof lighting strings with bulbs rather than extension cords that can become frayed from heat and cold temperatures.
These are great for getting around town, but they can also be dangerous if they are not used properly. The battery packs on these devices can overheat and start smoking if they aren't charged properly or stored properly after use. If one of these batteries catches fire, it can cause a lot of damage to your home and property.
Most dryer fires occur when clothing gets stuck in the lint filter or around the drum. To avoid this issue, inspect your dryer after every load of laundry to ensure there is no lint buildup anywhere in the machine. Also, clean out any lint that collects in the crevices of your dryer regularly. If you notice moldy smells coming from your dryer, immediately unplug it and call for service. You should never use flammable liquid cleaners near the dryer because they can also cause fires.
Space heaters are a common cause of fires in homes across America each year. While space heaters can help keep you warm during winter, they should never be used near flammable materials like paper or curtains because they can easily ignite them if left unattended for too long. If you use a space heater, make sure that it automatically has a tip-over switch to shut off if it falls over onto something flammable.
Please remember that fire safety begins with you and how you use things in your home. Use flame sources safely and responsibly, and regularly check all electrical devices for wear and tear. We hope you've learned something from this guide and can make some changes around your home to be safer. However, suppose you suffer from a catastrophic fire and water event. In that case, water damage removal should occur quickly and properly to prevent mold development, which can start to grow in as little as 24 hours.

Why Standing Water Creates Health and Safety Risks Stagnant water is a result of many causes, often indicating an underlying problem that needs immediate attention. While a small puddle in the yard or the bathroom may not raise concerns at first, delaying water removal can exacerbate the problem. Research shows that nearly 5 million people globally die every year due to water-related diseases and safety risks. If you don’t want to be a statistic, Tidal Wave Response can help. We…
