We’ve helped hundreds of San Diego residents recover from water damage, mold issues, and fire loss. Here’s what your neighbors are saying:
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.
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!
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.
Flood damage restoration in San Diego County means acting quickly before moisture spreads into drywall, flooring, and framing. Our crews respond to flooded rooms, storm intrusion, overflow events, and indoor water disasters caused by plumbing failures. We explain what we find, what needs to happen next, and how long each step usually takes.
Flooding can leave hidden damage even when the surface looks “fine.” Water can sit under flooring, behind baseboards, and inside wall cavities. That trapped moisture can cause warping, odors, and mold growth. Our flood damage restoration process focuses on real drying, careful cleaning, and smart repairs so the problem doesn’t come back.
Flooding gets worse by the hour. The sooner water is removed and drying begins, the more you can save. Our team responds quickly, starts mitigation right away, and works to reduce tear-out when it’s safe to do so.
Insurance can feel confusing after a flood. We help you document damage, organize photos, and track moisture readings so the claim has clear proof. We also explain the scope of work in plain language, so you understand what’s being repaired and why.
Our technicians follow industry standards for water removal, drying, sanitizing, and restoration. We don’t guess. We measure moisture, monitor progress, and use the right equipment for each material, so your property is truly dry, not just “looks dry.”
Flood problems usually need more than one step. We handle the full process, including extraction, drying, cleaning, odor control, and repairs. That means fewer handoffs, fewer delays, and one team guiding the job from start to finish.
We proudly provide complete restoration solutions throughout San Diego County, including areas near Mission Valley, Mira Mesa, Clairemont, and Rancho Bernardo. Here are all the services we offer:
Each service includes a detailed inspection, professional cleanup, and restoration to pre-damage condition using commercial-grade equipment.
When water sits too long, it soaks into padding, subfloor, and baseboards. Flood damage restoration starts with fast extraction, then targeted drying so moisture does not stay trapped where you can’t see it.
Drywall and insulation can hold water for days. That’s when staining, odors, and mold risk increase. Our team checks moisture inside wall cavities and removes only what can’t be saved, then dries and rebuilds the right way.
Flooding can cause wood to swell and flooring to lift. Some materials can be dried and restored, while others need replacement to prevent future problems. We guide you through what’s salvageable and what isn’t during flood damage restoration.
Floodwater can carry dirt, bacteria, and debris, especially when it comes from overflow or drain-related incidents. We clean and sanitize affected areas, apply odor control when needed, and help make the space safe for people again.
Mold can begin growing quickly when humidity stays high. The goal of flood damage restoration is to remove moisture fast, control humidity, and treat affected areas so mold doesn’t get a head start.

No matter where you are in San Diego County, our American Response Team crew provides fast flood damage restoration in San Diego so your property can be stabilized, dried, and protected before further damage spreads.
Many property owners worry about cost after flooding. In many situations, insurance may help cover parts of flood damage restoration, but coverage depends on what caused the water.
We help you keep your claim organized with photos, moisture readings, and clear documentation so the repair scope makes sense and delays are less likely.
San Diego County has coastal humidity, hillside runoff, and older infrastructure in many neighborhoods. Flooding can happen from heavy rain, drainage issues, broken plumbing, or water pushing into low spots around a building.
A strong flood damage restoration plan depends on where the water traveled and what materials were affected, not just what you can see on the surface.
Flooding doesn’t stop on its own. The longer moisture sits, the more damage spreads and the harder repairs become. If you need flood damage restoration, quick action can protect your floors, walls, and air quality before the situation gets worse.
If you’re dealing with flooding now, reach out for immediate help with flood damage restoration in San Diego and get the property stabilized, dried, cleaned, and restored back to a safe, pre-loss condition using commercial-grade equipment.
