They are excellent communicators and very trustworthy. They do great quality work and are quick to respond. Definitely highly recommended!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. American Response Team is fantastic!

I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable team to take care of their property—you’re in great hands!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honest and professional.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. American Response Team did a nice job with remediation and reconstruction of our kitchen when we had a flood. I especially appreciate Arturo Meza who answered his phone when I called, got back to me when he said he would, and did what he said he would do. That's hard to find anymore.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional, courteous, and great to work with.

If your Escondido home has been hit by a sewage spill or backup, don’t wait, raw sewage is a serious health risk that spreads fast.
Whether you live near Kit Carson Park or in an older neighborhood off Grand Avenue, aging sewer systems, root intrusion, and line clogs can trigger messy and dangerous overflows.
Escondido’s mix of older properties, high summer temperatures, and hillside terrain make sewage issues especially urgent.
American Response Team provides 24/7 emergency sewage removal in Escondido with safe, certified cleanup, structural drying, odor removal, and direct insurance billing.
We’ve helped homeowners across 92025, 92026, and 92027 get their homes clean, dry, and livable again, quickly and professionally.
 
															 
															Wondering what restoration companies do when you have a sewage problem? It’s more than cleanup, it’s hazardous waste management.
Here’s what we include in every sewage removal job:
Rapid extraction of sewage and contaminated water
EPA-approved disinfection and odor control
Moisture detection and structural drying
Antimicrobial treatment and mold prevention
Repairs to damaged drywall, carpet, flooring, and baseboards

For more detail, check out our blog: What Do Restoration Companies Do?.
We get it, dealing with sewage is bad enough without chasing your insurance company.
That’s why we manage the claims process for you, from start to finish:
Moisture mapping and contamination classification
Xactimate insurance estimating
Direct communication with your adjuster

Support for full coverage approvals
We’ve worked with carriers like State Farm, Farmers, and USAA, and we know how to avoid coverage denials. For homeowners, our guide on water damage and insurance claims offers practical insights.
 
															Escondido’s heat and dry air may make water evaporate faster — but that doesn’t help when sewage soaks into flooring, walls, and structural components. Within hours, bacteria and mold can begin to spread.
Delaying cleanup can mean:
Imagine your house is made of giant building blocks. If water gets in, these blocks (drywall, wood frames, and floors) can get soggy and crumble, or become weak and wobbly. This means they might need to be completely replaced.
If your house gets damaged by water, you might hope your insurance company will help pay for the repairs. But if the damage happened because you didn’t take care of something obvious, like a leaky pipe you knew about but didn’t fix, then the insurance company might say, “Sorry, we won’t pay.” This is called negligence, and it means you didn’t do what you should have to prevent the problem.
Looking for who to call for sewage removal in Escondido? American Response Team is your trusted local partner.
We’ve served the North County area for years and know Escondido’s older plumbing, city drainage, and environmental challenges inside and out.
From custom homes near San Pasqual Valley to downtown rentals, we respond fast and restore safely.
Sewage is classified as blackwater, which is full of harmful bacteria, viruses, and contaminants.
Without professional containment, protective equipment, and high-grade disinfectants, DIY cleanup puts you at risk and may lead to incomplete sanitation.
 
															Sometimes, the yucky water gets into hidden parts of the house, like the crawlspace under the house or the basement. These areas can be hard to clean and can become very damp and moldy.
We’ll walk you through what’s affected, what your insurance may cover, and what cleanup is required.
 
															When disaster strikes your home or business, you need more than just a cleanup crew. You need a team who knows the stakes, the standards, and how to get your life back to normal fast.
Our rapid response team is on call around the clock. Whether it’s 2 AM on a Sunday or Thanksgiving Day, we answer—and we act.
Every technician on your job is IICRC-certified. We stay current with the latest restoration techniques, health standards, and San Diego-specific challenges.
You won’t need to manage multiple vendors or juggle communications. We handle the entire process—from assessment and mitigation to final paint touch-ups.
We speak insurance fluently. We document all damage, use Xactimate billing, and work directly with your adjuster to advocate for maximum coverage—with minimal stress.
Your safety is our priority. We use only EPA-approved products, advanced HEPA filtration systems, and containment strategies to protect your home and health—especially from hidden mold or biohazards.
