San Diego Mold Removal Reviews
We’ve helped hundreds of San Diego residents recover from water damage, mold issues, and fire loss. Here’s what your neighbors are saying:
Excellent rating
Based on 179 reviewsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing customer service. Demo and dryout process went smoothly. Jimmy, Tony & Julian did a fantastic job. There attention to detail was spot on. I will highly recommend American Response Team to friends and family if they're in need of water damage services. Job we'll done boys!!! Eric Young4. June, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Christian, Moises and the rest of the crew are outstanding! Honest, efficient, and kind. They are excellent communicators and very trustworthy. They do great quality work and are quick to respond. Definitely highly recommended! Michael Chew13. May, 2025Trustindex 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. Sam Spiegel16. April, 2025Trustindex 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! Sandra Jacinto8. April, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honest and professional. Miho Gilles7. April, 2025Trustindex 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. Kenway Hoey31. March, 2025Trustindex 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! Jessica Day14. March, 2025Trustindex 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. Lisa Contreras24.

Based on 198 reviews 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.May 19, 2025 Amazing from start to finish! Initial assessment, communication, customer service...ALL positive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Shout out to Director of Operations, Jimmy! Melissa G.May 17, 2025 We've had to call on American Response Team twice now--both times for the same general area in our home.

Samuel C.April 16, 2025 Outstanding and professional company!! highly recommend to anyone looking for water remediation, and the best part is that they also handle repairs . manuel c.April 9, 2025 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.March 22, 2025 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.March 14, 2025 Jimmy was awesome. We weren't sure if we had a mold problem or not. He came out and didn't find any problems. He gave a few recommendations, but told us the truth. We don't need remediation. I really appreciate Jimmy's honesty and patience. Very informative. elizabeth l.February 20, 2025 Christian Carmona was fantastic. He was honest, straightforward, and didn't try to upsell me on unnecessary fixes. He gave me excellent advice and saved me money. Highly recommend him for his integrity and expertise. Xiang M.January 28, 2025 The team at American Response has been so helpful. Had a kitchen leak and they were out within a very short amount of time to start the drying process. Felipe has been super helpful in walking me through the process and all next steps. The speed and thoroughness has been amazing and they think of every detail. Bridget S.July 26, 2024Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Why Emergency Mold Removal Services Matter

Mold emergencies require immediate professional response. The CDC states clearly that mold causes respiratory problems, allergic reactions, asthma attacks, and serious health issues. Vulnerable family members—children, elderly relatives, people with breathing conditions—face the greatest risks.
Time is critical with mold. Growth begins within 24-48 hours after water exposure. What starts as a small spot quickly becomes a major infestation. Emergency mold removal San Diego service stops this progression. Our rapid response prevents small problems from becoming expensive disasters.
Professional emergency mold containment services protect your entire property. Disturbing mold releases millions of microscopic spores into the air. Without proper containment, these spores spread throughout your home. Our EPA-approved methods ensure safe, complete removal.
Common Emergency Mold Situations We Handle
Emergency Flood Damage Mold
San Diego's winter storms can cause severe flooding. Water sitting even 24 hours starts mold growth. Our emergency mold removal services respond immediately to flood restoration situations. We extract water, dry structures, and prevent mold before it establishes.
Emergency Sewage Backup Mold
Sewage backups create extreme health hazards. Contaminated water contains bacteria, viruses, and pathogens. It also creates perfect conditions for dangerous mold. Our emergency mold containment services handle sewage situations with specialized protocols.
Emergency Fire Damage Mold
After fire damage, firefighting water often causes hidden mold. Water soaks into walls, floors, and ceilings. While you focus on fire restoration, mold grows unnoticed. Our emergency mold remediation teams check every fire restoration job for moisture problems.
Emergency Pipe Burst Mold
Burst pipes release hundreds of gallons of water. This sudden water damage saturates everything. Our emergency mold removal San Diego response includes rapid water extraction and industrial drying. Speed prevents mold from starting.
Emergency HVAC System Mold
Mold in heating and cooling systems spreads spores throughout your entire property every time the system runs. This situation demands immediate emergency mold containment services. We isolate the HVAC system, clean ductwork, and sanitize components.
Where Mold Hides in San Diego Properties
Bathroom Mold Emergencies
Bathrooms create perfect mold conditions. Steam from showers raises humidity. Poor ventilation traps moisture. Mold grows on walls, ceilings, grout, caulking, and hidden areas under sinks. Even small bathroom leaks can require emergency mold removal services.
Kitchen Mold Problems
Kitchens have multiple water sources. Dishwasher leaks, refrigerator drips, and sink plumbing all cause mold. Mold hides behind appliances where you can’t see it growing. By the time you notice, it often needs emergency mold remediation.
Attic Mold Emergencies
Roof leaks cause serious attic mold. Most people rarely check attics. Mold grows for months undetected. Our leak detection service finds roof problems before they become emergency mold removal situations.
Crawl Space Mold
Crawl spaces under homes stay dark and damp. Ground moisture seeps up. Poor ventilation traps humidity. These conditions create severe mold problems that require emergency mold containment services.
Wall Cavity Mold
Hidden leaks inside walls are particularly dangerous. You can’t see the mold growing. Often the first sign is a musty smell. By then, emergency mold removal San Diego service may be necessary to prevent structural damage.

Dangers of Delaying Emergency Mold Removal
Waiting to address mold makes everything worse:
Health Risks Multiply
Extended mold exposure causes increasingly severe health problems. What starts as sneezing progresses to chronic respiratory issues. Emergency mold removal services protect your family immediately.
Structural Damage Increases
Mold literally eats building materials. It destroys drywall, wood, insulation, and more. Emergency mold containment services stop this destruction before it compromises structural integrity.
Costs Escalate Dramatically
Small mold problems need minimal treatment. Large infestations require extensive emergency mold remediation including demolition and reconstruction. Quick emergency response saves thousands of dollars.
Spreading Continues
Mold reproduces constantly. Each day of delay means millions more spores spreading through your property. Professional emergency mold removal San Diego stops this cycle.
The EPA strongly recommends professional help for mold areas exceeding 10 square feet. Emergency situations demand immediate expert intervention regardless of size.
Recognizing When You Need Emergency Mold Removal Services
Contact us immediately if you notice:
Extensive Visible Growth
Large mold areas or multiple affected locations require emergency mold containment services. Don't attempt DIY cleanup on extensive infestations.
Post-Disaster Mold
After flooding, major leaks, or fire damage, call for emergency mold remediation. Water disasters create perfect mold-growing conditions.
Sudden Health Symptoms
If multiple family members develop respiratory problems, allergic reactions, or unexplained illness, mold might be the cause. Learn about spotting mold health hazards.
Strong Musty Odors
Overwhelming moldy smells indicate substantial hidden growth. Emergency mold removal San Diego inspection can locate the source.
Recent Water Intrusion
