Impeccable service. From start to finish in all steps. My plumber was here fixing some other things when my bathroom pipe catastrophe happened. The bathtub pipe bursted everywhere and to... read more Office and it look like the great flood from Noah's arc. Plumber Bob suggested them and I am so glad. They came right away to do an estimation and checked all the water damage and began literally the next day to avoid further damage. Feillipe the foreman for the mitigation was very accommodating and went out of his way to help. They made sure to keep all the dust away from the rest of the house by sealing it and the process was done beautifully. They had plastic tarp to seal the room which included zippers so we could go in and out between the two rooms in the house. They also cover my tiles so it did not get scratched up. The restoration was also good. Luis tried really hard to match my floors to the other room even if companies do not make my type of laminate anymore. Luis and Arturo visited over 20 stores to try to find a laminate that matched mine. We finally settled something on Home Depot website. When it came time to put all my furniture back into the room Phillipe the original medication for men came over and help me put everything back. Also the office staff was very helpful and courteous. Edrianne went out of her way to be very very accommodating during this stressful time. They made sure to contact my insurance company and made this whole experience as smooth as possible. I cannot ask for anything better.

8/11/2022American Response was recommended to me by my plumber. I had a slab leak in my living room and they worked well with my plumber to mitigate the damage. Manny... read more was very polite and respectful and seems to love his job. He came back a few days in a row to see how things were drying and if anything further was needed.
After a week or so of tearing down and drying things out, Luis and his team worked to put my house back together. They packed out my 2 affected rooms led by Elena. She and her team were respectful of my belongings including my piano and even took pictures before moving things out of my house, so that they could put them back in the correct place. I can't mention everyone that was involved in the process because there are too many but even the owner called me to see how things were going with my job.
Some things are difficult right now (i.e., getting materials, paint and workers) but they did a great job in a reasonable amount of time.
I would definitely give them a call if I needed them again (which I hope I don't!)Carol G.
6/30/2021American Response Team was recommended to us by our plumber.

He was also very helpful with working with our insurance company and never left without asking if I had any questions. I would highly recommend their services.

I am very pleased with the services we received from American Response Team. They were the only company with emergency services offerings, that sent someone to assess our emergency, after... read more I had contacted several companies on a weekend. Ulices Soto showed up the same day I called and was absolutely wonderful in helping to clearly explain the issue and what their response would be. He and his team were very professional and respectful of our home throughout the entire process. I appreciate the open lines of communication and being kept in the loop of what to expect next. We had a terrific experience with Ulices guiding the way.

7/06/2021We had a mainline sewer back up that caused damage in both our main house and guest house. It's never anything you would choose to deal with, but if it... read more had to happen I would choose to use American Response team time and time again. They were extremely efficient, had innovative ways of handling the dry out, worked extremely well with us and our insurance company to make sure everything was covered, thoroughly removed damaged areas, did great clean up and also appropriately sealed off the space, walked me through the process and were very responsive. I had concerns along the way about the water mitigation, restoration and insurance company, and Will talked me through everything. I felt like I had someone on my side when everyone else was just trying to take my money. I highly recommend them as a thorough, thoughtful and ethical company.

8/02/2022We had a horrible experience with this company. We used them for a water damage we had at our bathroom. Their project manager, Luis, was extremely rude and unprofessional. We... read more had to call him several times to get things done and he was never available. He was also dishonest and he was saying different things to us and different things to our insurance company. He saw that we had extra flooring in our garage that we had paid out of pocket before the water damage and he told the insurance he will use our flooring without even asking us. Unfortunately, when we called the company owner to complain about Luis the only thing he said is that he has worked for them for many years and he is a great employee. He completely dismissed our concerns and frustration.

After it was detected that we had a slab leak which apparently started in the kitchen the plumber we hired contacted American Response Team. That very same night and within... read more a very short time Manny started the process of mitigation. I can tell he was sincere with working with us and allayed our fears and anxiety especially we were novices on how to deal with this kind of situation that can be very stressful.Manny was there every step of the way since our kitchen, living room, family room and garage flooring and drywall were damaged by the burst of a single pipe in the kitchen.Manny immediately started the process of drying areas of concern, contacted personnel to assist with storing our personal items, minimize dust and debris by sealing off where needed,kept us informed of everyday activities till the drying process was over.Overall Manny and his team have been outstanding. I will not hesitate to recommend them to people I know who can be in the same predicament as ours. Thank you Manny and AMR.
Continue to be professional and efficient with what you do to help homeowners in situation like these.Joyce P.
8/25/2021This year unfortunately I had experienced 2 water damage losses and 1 fire damage loss to my rental condos. Fortunately, on all 3 incidents I used American Response for their... read more remediation/ mitigation services. Both Felipe and Erik were outstanding to work with. They managed all the coordination with asbestos testing, mitigation, insurance claims submission and communicating with adjusters, plumbing etc.... and continuously gave updates to the work being done and completed. Not all companies handle and specialize in fire mitigation so it was very helpful to have them help me navigate through all the items and damages that occur with a fire to work with my insurance company and with them help me through with the claims review and estimate process. I was very pleased with their professionalism and their services. The owner Will, also was on site with the fire loss and available to assist with all questions I had as the insured and also was on site when the field insurance adjuster was evaluating the loss. John the estimator was also very helpful and attentive to addressing all the questions on the line item estimates for services rendered. Overall this is a great company to work with when you have unfortunate events like this that occur with your property. They make the event much more manageable and minimize barriers for the owner. I highly recommend this company!

4/07/2021Recently, the bottom of one of our lower cabinets in the kitchen completely collapsed. As we were removing the items from the cabinet, we realized all of the wood was... read more soaking wet. We hired a plumber to do the leak detection, who then recommended we use American Response Team to get an estimate for mitigation. I agreed & within 5 minutes I received a call from ART’s team that same day. Their Sr. Field Rep, Charles Zemke, arrived (early, I should mention!), took the moisture readings, and spent a good amount of time explaining the process (this was the first time we’d ever dealt with something like this so it was great to get a detailed overview of the process). What I also greatly appreciated about ART was that they handle all of the communication with the insurance company and have a lot of experience doing so. The process moved FAST - after the initial appointment with Charles, the containment, dryers, and dehumidifiers were set up the next day (Saturday), and by Monday the demo started to remove the wet drywall and cabinets so the full drying could start. From that point forward, he pretty much came to check moisture levels almost everyday. Not only was the process fast but Charles was GREAT to work with - fantastic customer service, knowledgeable, professional and communicative. Thank you Charles & ART for all your assistance during what would have been an incredibly stressful time for us. I would highly recommend this company for your mitigation needs!

I found American Response Team on yelp after I flooded my kitchen. Sean Meadows, the lead technician came out the same day & told us exactly what the next steps... read more would be! He was so honest, straightforward forward and helpful! Him and all the other workers at the company with have been amazing and went straight to work. They talk us through all the steps that will take place & are always so polite. It has been only a few days and everything is already demoed, repaired & dried out. Working in real estate, I will for sure be recommending American Response Team to any client or homeowner who may need help especially after a flood! I can't recommend them enough to any client who has never been in a situation such as a flooded kitchen and needs their hand held during the process! 10/10 🙂 Thank you again guys!

No dust, no debris, just a clean slate for the renovation team to come in and do their repairs. Thank you, ART, for taking such excellent care of our home!!!
