Water leaks and water damage from appliances and fixtures are easy to spot and repair, but hidden leaks can be problematic as they go undetected and wreak havoc on your property in the meantime. Though professionals like Tidal Wave Response have the equipment and technology to detect even the deepest water damage, it is tough for the average homeowner to spot these hidden leaks and water damage. Still, we want to share some tips on how you can catch issues before the water damage becomes intensive and even damages your foundation. Here are some signs on the wall that may indicate water damage.
Peeling Paint
Water is a natural solvent and can dissolve a lot of substances, and paint is no exception. When water seeps into the walls, it gets into the paint and breaks apart the bonding agents of the paint. This reaction causes paint to start bulging as moisture and air build up beneath the surface of the paint. Eventu
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,…
Water Stains
Even if water does not peel the paint, then it will at least leave stains. These stains are a result of water particles leached by wood beams and drywall. Though the stains will start small, they will grow over time and the sooner you catch them, the better. Keep your eye out for water stains if you want to locate the origin of the leak before the damage becomes more extensive.
Mold Growth
Water is a source of life and mold is a lifeform just like any other. Mold loves dark and moist surfaces, so water damage in hidden places is the ideal location for mold growth. Mold can be found in basements, kitchens, and bathrooms – basically anywhere dark and moist. It is important to address mold growth as soon as possible because they indicate
Buckled Walls and Ceilings
Over time, water can cause serious damage. If you ignore or fail to detect water damage, you can experience buckled walls and ceilings. Ignoring these buckled walls and ceilings can be devastating as structural damage is costly to repair. If you see buckling on your walls and especially your ceiling, then it is past time to contact the professionals immediately. Don’t wait for extensive and irreparable damage.
