Thank you American response team. sincerely, Jim Lytle Jim LytleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After my hot water heater burst & leaked inside my house, my plumber recommended American Response Team. Felipe was extremely helpful & professional, explaining everything at every step of the water mitigation process. He came almost daily to check on the equipment & answer questions. All the moisture was successfully eliminated & now I am just waiting on repairs. I hope I won't their services again, but if I do I will definitely use this company. Great communication & professionalism! Krista TimberlakeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

On the eve of a long-planned vacation, a leak in my roof (overhead plumbing) caused my family room ceiling to crash into the floor, causing a huge mess and no small amount of panic. Based on nothing more than good Google reviews, I called American Restoration and within 20 minutes, Felipe was there to assess the situation, develop a plan of action, call in help to clean up the mess, and make me confident enough to leave things in his hands while I enjoyed my trip. Communication was outstanding, and the job was done professionally and efficiently. beverly kanawiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Excellent rating
Based on 205 reviews We had an excellent experience with American Response Team. After discovering a leak in the our bathroom we contacted ART. Christian and his team did an excellent job of identifying the problem, containing the issue and guiding us through the process. Moises was very helpful with handling insurance related activities and the business side of things. Jesus was awesome as project coordinator overseeing repairs, restoration and communicating with subcontractors. They all were very professional, respectful of our home and responsive to our needs. Great job! Cheryl M. American Response Team (ART) responds quickly and does good quality work. I had a leak in one of my ground floor bathrooms which damaged part of the wall and some of the flooring in a nearby hallway, and ART helped mitigate the water damage and replace the flooring. During the reconstruction process, a couple more leaks/water damage were identified in other parts of the house, along with some plumbing issues, that ART also dealt with quickly and effectively. We did have a misunderstanding regarding the extent of the flooring reconstruction. In my initial conversation with ART, they offered to replace ALL the flooring on my ground floor (so all the new flooring would match), but I declined this offer (knowing that this would cost more + be more disruptive to my tenants). I made clear that ONLY the damaged flooring should be replaced. ART then updated their plan/estimate in agreement with my request. However, at some point during the reconstruction process, a decision was made to replace ALL the flooring on my ground floor, including the undamaged flooring in the family room and kitchen. I was not notified about this change of plans, and only discovered it after all the repairs had been completed. Of course I was frustrated, and contacted the ART contractors to ask why the initial agreement had not been followed. ART explained to me that it is extremely common to replace all the flooring, once the insurance company is involved and sending reimbursement payments....which I understand, but I was still upset that our initial agreement wasn't followed. ART did help negotiate with my insurance company to get additional reimbursement payments sent to me, which I appreciate. However, in this case I would advise A) clearly defining what exactly needs to be replaced/repaired, and B) double-checking that the agreed-upon repair/reconstruction plan is being followed, especially once the insurance company is involved. Ben A. We had American Response Team to fix water damage caused by a leak in the wall. It wasn't a great situation to be going through, but I was happier going through it with them. Everyone I worked with was friendly and cared about getting my house restored. Lupita M. This review is long overdue. We had to call American Response Team at the end of last year for water damage caused by a leak in the wall. It was a stressful situation, but after I filed a claim with the insurance, they handled everything. Everyone on the team was very professional. We first met with Manny, who came back as many times as needed to dry the water-damaged area. The restoration crew, managed efficiently by Arturo, was hardworking and super friendly. Thank you, American Response Team! Claire T. Amazing from start to finish! Initial assessment, communication, customer service...ALL positive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Shout out to Director of Operations, Jimmy! Melissa G. We've had to call on American Response Team twice now--both times for the same general area in our home. The first time was about 2.5 years ago, and unfortunately, a new leak developed in the same area recently, this time coming from the toilet. Understandably, I was initially concerned that this might have been due to the original installation--perhaps a reused wax ring or something missed. However, I really appreciated how the owner, Will, handled the situation. He took the time to personally speak with me, look up our original file, and even went as far as sending photos from the original job showing that the wax ring installed was indeed brand new. That level of follow-through and transparency was very reassuring. Both times we've used them, their response time and communication have been excellent. They were professional, efficient, and respectful of our home. While I obviously hope I won't need their services again anytime soon, it's a relief to know that if I do, I'll be in good hands. Highly recommend American Response Team for their integrity and customer service. Samuel C. Outstanding and professional company!! highly recommend to anyone looking for water remediation, and the best part is that they also handle repairs . manuel c. July 2024, pipe burst causing water damage to kitchen and 2 bathrooms. American Response Team handled the cleanup and repairs. 9 months later, work is complete. I would like to thank Moises Cibrian, Operations Manager, for coordinating the repairs. Thank you for your help and patience. In particular, however, I commend Arturo Meza, Project Coordinator. When things got dicey due to insurance issues, communication issues, work quality, etc., I could always count on Arturo to answer my calls for help in a matter of minutes. He was always able to resolve issues in a timely manner and keep me informed. Dependable, available, reliable, a true professional. And he kept me sane, seeing me through the entire process. Additionally, I want to thank all of the mitigation folks and vendors for their hard work. Maureen C. Called with a concern of mold from a leak and Tony came out the very next day. He was on time, respectful, professional, knowledgeable, thorough with his inspection, and most importantly he was honest! He was straight up with his findings - which was way better than I anticipated. Jimmy also came out a separate time for another mold concern in our bathroom. He was all the things Tony was and also gave me some really great advice that didn't require me to hire them. It such a breath of fresh air to have quality companies like this still exist where they are there to help and not trying to take advantage of you! If you're in need of (possible) mold assistance, call these guys!! You'll be so glad you did! Jessica D. This review is in response to the business owner's comment from my previous post: Hello William, Thank you for your response. However, I won't be changing my rating because my husband and I don't agree with the things you said. If you think my previous review was incorrect or an attempt to slander your business, sue me. I can show proofs that everything I said was true. Let's break down the discrepancies: You mentioned the wood was out of stock, your team looked for suppliers and settle where to buy it. But we already found a supplier who held the wood for us. In fact, the reason we chose that specific wood was because it was available in stock, within our budgeted cost per sqft, and could have it delivered by Dec 26th. We called your team from the wood store and have them exchange information with the seller, this was done from our phone while we were in the wood store. Your team didn't follow through. We would've chosen another wood if what we choose wasn't available. Also, your team did forget to work in our bathroom. They didn't come back to fix it until we called to make complaint. The floor replacement was already done several days prior to that. The sink has pre-existing condition? It was perfectly fine pre leak for more than 8 years. Your team demo the vanity & left it in our backyard for almost two months. The sink didn't fell apart until your team came along. You mentioned "free of charge" repeatedly. Let's be real, American Response Team received close to 50k from our homeowners insurance claim payout. Your company was well compensated for the work but why are you making it sounds like they are done for free. We, the homeowners, are the one who had to dealt with the hassle and inconveniences when it come to water damage. The damage and repair disturbs our day to day lives for months. We were moving from air bnb to hotels for several weeks due to reconstruction, the change in living arrangements was very challenging for our two young children. Your team could've advised us not to move out of the house yet if they can't start work right away. We only moved out because we were told they would start work right away and could be done within 2-3 weeks. But turned out they just wanted us to sign a contract. After we vacate our house, your team took 5 weeks to complete the job. Our children would've loved to spend Christmas in our own house had we known they won't be doing much work in our house that week anyway. Thank you for the work but please be upfront about what's getting done and when it will get done, there were so many ways things could've been handled better in our situation. Julia M.

Water Damage Remediation
This review covers the two water leaks at my condo during the past 4+ months. The water heater was replaced since I thought that it was leaking. About a week afterwards, I noticed that the carpet was very damp again. My plumber also noticed that the drywall adjacent to the water heater was very damp. He suggested that I call America Response to remediate the water damage caused by a leak from the upstairs condo. Christian from American Response set up fans with a dehumidifier for a four day dry out period. The reconstruction team from American Response removed the damaged drywall and observed the source of the leak from the upstairs water heater. The upstairs owner then presumably had the leaky pipe repaired. The reconstruction team did a fantastic job with the repairs (new drywall with insulation, retexturing with painting, and reassembly of affected cabinets and backsplash). American Response deserves a 5 stars rating in terms of communications and excellent work quality. Unfortunately, the repair didn’t hold, so I had to call American Response to deal with a repeat water damage control recently. They again responded quickly and dried out the walls and carpeting to prevent any growth of mold/pathogens. I highly recommend American Response to deal with any water damage scenarios quickly and professionally so that you can have “peace of mind.” Thank you, American Response Team.

water damage services
Jimmy and Tony came out for 2 separate issues. Both were on time, very knowledgeable, thorough in their inspection, and very honest about their findings. They gave advice about how we could resolve the minor issues ourselves and didn’t require hiring them. This company is truly looking to help people and not just be hired for the money. If you’re looking for a knowledgable company with their honest opinion, call these guys! I’m so glad I did!

Why You Need Professional Mold Removal in Encinitas
Mold isn’t just ugly. It’s dangerous. According to the CDC, mold can cause stuffy noses, sore throats, coughing, wheezing, and skin rashes. People with asthma or mold allergies can have severe reactions. Kids and elderly family members face even bigger risks.
Here’s what makes mold scary: it grows fast. Really fast. In just 24 to 48 hours after water damage, mold can start spreading. That’s why professional mold removal in Encinitas matters so much. We stop mold before it takes over your whole house.
Our certified technicians follow EPA mold remediation guidelines to make sure every spore is gone.
Our Mold Removal Encinitas Process
Free Mold Inspection
First, we inspect your property for free. Our experts look for visible mold and check areas where mold loves to hide. We use special tools to detect moisture that could mean hidden mold problems. This Mold Inspection tells us exactly what we're dealing with.
Safe Containment
Next, we set up containment barriers. Think of this like putting up walls to keep mold from spreading to clean areas. We use negative air pressure machines that suck air out of the moldy area. This keeps spores from floating into other rooms.
Complete Mold Removal
Now comes the actual mold removal Encinitas process. We remove all mold-damaged materials that can't be saved. Stuff like drywall, insulation, and carpet often has to go. For surfaces we can save, we use professional-grade cleaning products that kill mold at the root.
Our team wears protective gear during
Mold Remediation
.
This includes special masks, gloves, and suits. We're protecting ourselves and preventing spores from hitchhiking into clean spaces on our clothes.
Deep Cleaning and Sanitizing
After removing the mold, we deep clean everything. We use HEPA vacuums that trap tiny mold spores other vacuums would just blow around. We sanitize all surfaces to kill any remaining spores. Then we test the air quality to make sure it's safe.
Fixing the Moisture Problem
Here's the secret to successful mold removal Encinitas work: fixing what caused the mold in the first place. Maybe you had a Water Damage issue. Maybe a pipe leaked. Whatever it was, we find it and fix it. Otherwise, mold just comes right back.

Professional mold removal Encinitas requires professional tools. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers, air scrubbers, HEPA filtration systems, and moisture meters. This equipment costs thousands of dollars. It’s why DIY mold removal often fails.
Preventing Mold After Removal
Professional mold removal Encinitas service is just the start. Keeping mold from coming back requires ongoing attention. Here’s how:
Control Humidity
Keep indoor humidity below 50%. Use dehumidifiers in damp areas. Bathrooms and kitchens need good ventilation fans that vent outside, not into attics.
Fix Leaks Immediately
Small leaks become big problems. Fix dripping faucets, running toilets, and leaky pipes right away. Our Immediate Water Damage Emergency Response helps stop mold before it starts.
Improve Ventilation
Open windows when weather permits. Make sure air circulates throughout your home. Stagnant air creates conditions mold loves.
Clean Regularly
Regular cleaning prevents mold spores from settling and growing. Pay special attention to bathrooms, kitchens, and other moisture-prone areas.
Use Mold-Resistant Products
When renovating, choose Mold-Resistant Materials for bathrooms and basements. Mold-resistant drywall and paint make a big difference.
Clean Regularly
Check places where you've had mold before. Regular inspections catch new growth early. Learn more about San Diego Mold Season Timing and Prevention .
Understanding Encinitas Mold Challenges
Encinitas has special conditions that affect mold growth. Understanding these helps protect your home.
Coastal Climate
Living near the ocean means higher humidity. Salt air and morning fog add moisture. While Encinitas has beautiful weather, that ocean breeze brings dampness that feeds mold.
Older Homes
Many Encinitas neighborhoods have charming older homes. These houses might have outdated plumbing, poor ventilation, or settling foundations that cause leaks. Regular mold removal Encinitas inspections help older homes stay healthy.
Winter Rains
Even though San Diego is dry compared to other places, winter storms bring heavy rain. This can cause Flood Restoration needs and create perfect conditions for mold.
Seasonal Changes
The transition between seasons brings temperature changes. This creates condensation inside walls and attics. Understanding Mold After Water Damage Timeline and Prevention helps you act fast.
