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.

water damage restoration
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.

Understanding National City's Unique Restoration Challenges
National City experienced severe flooding in January 2024 when intense storms brought over 4 inches of rain in just hours. Low-lying areas like Happy Hollow suffered significant damage. As the leading damage restoration company National City residents trust, we understand local flooding patterns and respond with solutions that work.
Our team serves both zip codes 91950 and 91951 with equal speed. Whether you live in central National City near the historic depot or in eastern neighborhoods near Lincoln Acres, we reach you quickly. Local knowledge matters during emergencies—we know which streets flood first and where aging infrastructure causes problems.
Call 858-750-5923 the moment you discover property damage. Real restoration specialists answer every call, not answering services. We dispatch teams immediately because delays allow water damage to worsen rapidly.
Emergency Water Damage Restoration
Water emergencies don’t wait for convenient times. Pipes burst at 3 AM. Heavy storms flood basements during dinner. Water heaters fail while you’re at work. Our damage restoration company National City CA operates around the clock because property disasters happen without warning.
Many National City homes date back to the 1940s and 1960s. Older properties experience unique water damage challenges. Aging plumbing systems corrode and crack. Original fixtures fail unexpectedly. Outdated drainage systems overflow during heavy rain. We’ve handled thousands of water emergencies in National City’s historic neighborhoods.
Emergency Water Extraction
Industrial pumps remove thousands of gallons per hour. We extract water from floors, carpets, and crawl spaces using truck-mounted equipment that works faster than portable units.
Structural Drying
Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers dry your property completely. We monitor moisture levels daily and adjust equipment placement for maximum efficiency. Complete drying typically takes 3-5 days, though severe flooding requires longer.
Flood Damage Cleanup
National City's proximity to San Diego Bay creates flood risks during storms. Our flood restoration services treat contaminated water seriously, using Category 3 protocols for floodwater cleanup.
FEMA’s disaster assistance guidelines helped many National City residents after the January 2024 floods. We work alongside federal agencies and insurance companies to maximize recovery assistance.
Homes near the Sweetwater Channel face higher flooding risks. Properties in low-lying areas require proactive protection. Our damage restoration company in National City helps families understand risks and prepare appropriately.
Professional Fire Damage Restoration Services
Fire destroys memories along with property. Smoke penetrates everything—walls, furniture, clothing, even concrete. Soot leaves acidic residue that continues damaging surfaces for weeks. Our damage restoration company National City provides complete fire recovery from initial emergency response through final reconstruction.
Kitchen fires spread quickly in National City’s older homes. Grease ignites and climbs walls within seconds. Electrical fires start inside walls where you can’t see them. Even small fires create extensive smoke damage throughout entire properties.
Our fire damage restoration process includes:
- Emergency board-up services to secure your property
- Smoke odor elimination using professional techniques
- Soot removal from all surfaces without causing additional damage
- Content cleaning and restoration
- Complete reconstruction of fire-damaged areas
We understand the complete fire damage restoration process from start to finish. This knowledge helps families navigate recovery effectively. Many homeowners don’t know how to deal with insurance after a house fire—we guide you through every step.
Properties near National City’s industrial areas face additional fire risks from nearby businesses. Our damage restoration company in National City CA responds quickly to both residential and commercial fire emergencies.
Mold Remediation and Prevention
San Diego Bay’s moisture combined with National City’s climate creates perfect mold conditions. Warm temperatures and humidity from the waterfront encourage fungal growth. Many homeowners discover mold after water damage or in poorly ventilated spaces.
Professional mold remediation requires specialized training and equipment. We don’t just spray bleach on visible growth. Our certified specialists remove contaminated materials, clean affected areas thoroughly, and prevent regrowth using EPA-approved treatments.
The CDC warns about mold health risks, especially for children, elderly residents, and people with breathing problems. Never ignore musty odors or visible mold spots. These signs indicate larger problems hidden inside walls or under floors.
Our mold inspection services find hidden contamination using moisture meters and thermal imaging. We locate problems before they affect your family’s health. Residents often ask about staying home during mold remediation—the answer depends on contamination severity and location.
Homes near Kimball Park and Las Palmas Park experience higher humidity levels due to irrigation and landscaping. These properties require extra attention to prevent mold growth in bathrooms, basements, and attics.
Sewage Cleanup and Biohazard Services
Sewage backups create dangerous health hazards. Black water contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause serious illness. Never attempt sewage cleanup yourself—professional equipment and protective gear are essential for safe removal.
National City’s wastewater infrastructure serves thousands of homes and businesses. Despite regular maintenance, blockages still occur. Tree roots invade sewer lines. Aging pipes collapse. When sewage backs up into your property, immediate professional response prevents health emergencies.
Our sewage cleanup follows strict sewage contamination regulations and safety protocols. We remove all contaminated materials, disinfect surfaces multiple times, and eliminate odors completely.
The damage restoration company National City businesses trust also provides biohazard cleanup for difficult situations. Our specialists handle crime scenes, unattended deaths, and other traumatic events with professionalism and compassion.

We provide damage restoration throughout National City, including:
Downtown National City along Highland Avenue and 8th Street
Waterfront areas near Pepper Park and Pier 32 Marina
Neighborhoods around Central Elementary and El Toyon Elementary

Common Property Damage Scenarios in National City
Understanding typical damage helps residents respond correctly:
Storm Flooding
National City's low elevation and proximity to San Diego Bay create flood vulnerability. Heavy winter storms overwhelm drainage systems. Properties near the Sweetwater Channel flood when water levels rise. Storm Water Damage Preparation reduces risks significantly.
Aging Infrastructure
Many National City homes contain original plumbing from the 1940s-1960s. Galvanized pipes corrode. Copper develops pinhole leaks. Old fixtures fail without warning. Regular inspections prevent surprise emergencies.
Appliance Failures
Water heaters typically last 10-15 years. When they fail, 40-80 gallons flood homes rapidly. Washing machines and dishwashers also leak unexpectedly. Bathroom water damage from toilet overflows is extremely common.
Industrial Accidents
National City's industrial areas create unique fire and chemical spill risks. Our damage restoration company National City handles both residential and commercial emergencies with appropriate safety protocols.
Avoiding common mistakes after water damage protects your property and insurance coverage. We guide families through proper emergency response procedures.
Reconstruction and Repair Services
Restoration doesn’t end with cleanup. Many properties require significant repairs or complete reconstruction after major damage. Our damage restoration company in National City CA handles everything from minor drywall patches to complete room rebuilds.
We rebuild homes to modern building codes while respecting National City’s historic character. Properties near the National City Depot and other historic areas deserve craftsmanship that preserves architectural integrity.
Understanding when to rebuild versus repair saves money long-term. Sometimes extensive damage makes rebuilding more cost-effective than patching problems repeatedly. Our specialists assess structural integrity honestly and recommend the best solution for your situation and budget.
