Filipe Immediately came out to my home and put my mind at rest. No one likes to go through this have their house flooded Drywall ripped out flooring ripped out, worrying about insurance companies, etc. where are you gonna get the money? It’s just quite a pain in the butt. However, these guys were top-notch professionals and my house is dry and the problem fixed. 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. We had a leak in our attic and the AMR team was quick to provide an assessment of the damage and act to begin prevention of further damage. The team led by Felipe was nothing but great to work with.

He communicated throughout the process and coordinated everything. I felt I was in very good hands. A+ Constance MitchellTrustindex 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. From the first meeting to the end Felipe at American Response communicated the issues and their solutions very well and always kept me in the loop. He even coordinated with the plumber and was always available for questions. I greatly appreciated the time and care he took on my abatement project! Thank you Felipe!

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!

About Our Attic Mold Remediation Services
Attic mold remediation in San Diego County starts with finding the cause, not just wiping off spots. Mold in an attic is often linked to roof leaks, blocked vents, bathroom fan exhaust venting into the attic, or warm indoor air rising and condensing on cooler surfaces. We inspect the attic space, identify where growth is happening, and explain what needs to be removed, cleaned, and corrected.
Attics can be tricky because mold can hide on the backside of plywood, around insulation, or near vents and roof penetrations. Our attic mold remediation process focuses on safe containment, proper removal of affected materials when needed, and detailed cleaning so spores are not spread into the living space below.
Why San Diego County Property Owners Choose Us for Attic Mold Remediation
24/7 Response for Attic Mold Remediation
Mold growth can spread and get deeper into materials when it’s left alone. We respond quickly so attic mold remediation can begin sooner, helping reduce the size of the affected area and preventing stronger odors and bigger cleanup.
Support With Mold Insurance Claims
Insurance for mold can be confusing, and coverage depends on what caused the problem. We help document what we find, take clear photos, and keep the scope of work organized so you have the information you need for a smoother claim process.

Common Attic Mold Problems We Fix
Mold From Roof Leaks and Flashing
A small roof leak can drip onto wood, insulation, and drywall for weeks before you notice anything. Attic mold remediation removes the growth safely, but we also help identify where moisture is getting in so the mold doesn’t return.
Mold Around Vents, Fans, and Poor Airflow Areas
Attics need proper ventilation to stay dry. When vents are blocked, undersized, or not working well, humidity can build up and feed mold. Our attic mold remediation work targets common trouble spots like ridge vents, gable vents, and areas near bathroom fan ducting.
Mold on Plywood, Rafters, and Trusses
Mold can spread across roof sheathing and framing, especially when warm indoor air condenses on cooler wood surfaces. We contain the area, clean affected surfaces, and complete attic mold remediation using methods that reduce spore spread.
Mold in or Around Insulation
Insulation can hold moisture and hide growth. Sometimes insulation can be dried, but often it needs removal when it’s contaminated. We evaluate what can be saved and handle attic mold remediation in a way that protects the living space below.
Musty Odors That Drift Into the Home
If the attic smells musty, those odors can travel through ceiling penetrations, HVAC pathways, and recessed light openings. Our attic mold remediation process includes cleaning and odor control steps when needed so the home smells normal again.

Understanding Insurance Coverage for Attic Mold Remediation
Mold coverage can vary a lot depending on your policy and what caused the mold. In many cases, insurance may help with attic mold remediation if the mold is tied to a sudden event, but coverage is often limited for long-term moisture issues.
Often covered (depending on your policy):
- Mold caused by a sudden, accidental water event (like a burst pipe)
- Certain roof-damage situations if the intrusion is tied to a covered storm event
- Remediation related to a covered water loss (coverage limits may apply)
Often not covered:
- Mold caused by ongoing leaks or delayed maintenance
- Ventilation issues that developed over time
- High humidity problems without a covered water event
We help document what we find with photos and notes so you have clear information for your claim and a clear plan for remediation.
What Makes San Diego County Properties Different for Attic Mold Remediation
San Diego County homes face different mold risks depending on location, roof design, and ventilation. Coastal humidity, fog, and salty air can increase moisture, while inland heat can create big temperature swings that lead to condensation in attic spaces.
Older properties may have:
- Older roof vents that don’t move enough air
- Past leaks that were patched but left moisture behind
- Gaps and penetrations that let humid
- Older insulation that holds moisture longer
Newer properties may have:
- Tighter construction that traps warm, moist indoor air
- Complex rooflines with harder-to-vent sections
- HVAC or ducting pathways that affect attic airflow
- Modern materials that still grow mold when moisture gets trapped
The best attic mold remediation plan is the one that removes growth and reduces the conditions that caused it, so it doesn’t come back.
