Your house is certainly one of the biggest investments of your life. That's why it's scary to imagine your home being razed to the ground by a fire. House fires are a common occurrence in the U.S., so it's important to be on the safe side by taking precautionary measures to prevent fires at home. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), an estimated 358,50 house fires occur every year across the U.S. The real tragedy is that many of these house fires can be prevented.
At Tidal Wave Response, we’ve compiled practical tips that will help you stay prepared and prevent fires.
Be Aware of Fire Hazards
One of the most effective ways to prevent house fires is to be aware of the possible causes of house fires. Things like leaving cooking food unattended, failing to extinguish cigarettes in an ashtray when finished, and leaving burning candles unattended can create fire hazards. Heating sources that are not working properly, dirty chimneys, and damaged household appliances can also trigger a fire. Knowing what could cause house fire will help you put measures in place
Inspect Your Electrical System Regularly
According to the National Fire Protection Association, there are nearly 30,000 electrical fires in the U.S. every year, causing hundreds of deaths and an estimated $1 billion in property damage. The most common causes of electrical fires include exposed wiring, faulty electrical outlets, a faulty electrical panel, overloading light fixtures, and many more. You can prevent electrical fires by having your electrical system inspected by experienced electricians regularly to prevent future mishaps. It’s also advisable to replace old appliances, replace old and damaged electrical outlets, and install a whole-house surge protector.
Never Leave Flames Unattended
Ensure you keep an eye on flames at all times to prevent the inevitable. You should also inspect all your heat sources, including the furnace, space heater, chimney, and fireplace.
Safely Store Combustible Materials
Combustible materials like paper, plastics, rubber, clothing, and hair should always be kept away from heat sources. Other combustible materials that should be kept away from heat include kerosene, gasoline, propane, hairspray, nail polish, and flour.
Educate Everyone of Fire Risks and Safety
Another effective way to prevent house fires is to ensure everyone in your household understands fire risks and fire safety measures. Let every member of your family, including children understand the possible causes of house fires and the preventative changes that could prevent fires. Simple preventative changes such as properly storing flammable products, handling candles with caution, being careful with heating equipment, and turning off heated appliances when you leave the house can help prevent house fires.
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,…
