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! Their crew is fast, efficient, and gets the job done right the first time. I’ve been consistently impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. 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.

															Our initial step involves a thorough and meticulous evaluation of the property, identifying the full extent of the damage caused by fire, flood, or mold. This comprehensive assessment forms the bedrock for all subsequent restoration efforts.
We meticulously document all aspects of the damage, providing detailed reports, photographs, and potentially video evidence. This thorough and organized documentation is crucial for facilitating a smooth and successful insurance claim process, ensuring you receive the maximum possible coverage.
Our team meticulously develops a comprehensive reconstruction plan, outlining every phase of the restoration process. This plan is then submitted for all necessary local permits and approvals, ensuring compliance with building codes and regulations.
With approvals in hand, our skilled professionals meticulously execute the reconstruction plan, restoring your property to its pre-damage condition or better. Throughout this phase, rigorous inspections are conducted to guarantee the highest standards of quality, safety, and structural integrity.
