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 Black Mold Is Dangerous for Temecula Families

Black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) produces toxic substances that can harm your health. According to the CDC, all mold should be removed promptly, but black mold receives special attention because it can cause serious health problems. This dark greenish-black fungus appears slimy when wet and powdery when dry. It grows on materials containing cellulose like drywall, wood, and paper products.
Health effects from black mold exposure range from mild to severe. Many people experience respiratory symptoms including persistent coughing, wheezing, and throat irritation. Some develop allergic reactions with sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. Children and elderly family members face higher risks from black mold exposure. People with asthma often suffer severe attacks when exposed. Those with weakened immune systems can develop serious lung infections.
Professional black mold removal Temecula services protect your family better than DIY attempts. When you disturb black mold without proper containment, millions of toxic spores spread throughout your home. These microscopic particles settle in clean areas and create new mold colonies. Our emergency mold containment services prevent this dangerous cross-contamination. We use specialized equipment and techniques that homeowners simply don’t have access to.
Climate Factors That Cause Black Mold in Temecula
Temecula’s inland location creates unique mold challenges. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90 degrees, while winter nights drop significantly. These temperature swings cause condensation on cold surfaces inside your home. This moisture creates perfect conditions for black mold growth. Understanding local climate factors helps prevent mold problems before they start.
The area’s low humidity during most of the year might seem like protection against mold. However, specific areas inside Temecula homes trap moisture effectively. Bathrooms without proper ventilation stay damp after showers. Kitchens generate steam from cooking. Laundry rooms create humidity from washers and dryers. When this moisture can’t escape, black mold starts growing. Our team has extensive experience with water damage situations that lead to mold problems.
Seasonal rain patterns also impact Temecula properties. Winter storms bring heavy rainfall that can overwhelm drainage systems. Water enters homes through roof leaks, foundation cracks, and around windows. Even small amounts of water intrusion cause major black mold problems if not addressed quickly. Our flood restoration services include thorough drying protocols that prevent mold development. Learn more about immediate water damage emergency response to understand why speed matters.
Older Temecula homes face additional challenges. Properties built decades ago often have outdated plumbing systems that develop slow leaks. Poor attic ventilation traps hot air that condenses on cooler surfaces. Aging HVAC systems create moisture problems through condensation. These hidden moisture sources fuel black mold growth in places you can’t see. That’s why our inspection process includes moisture detection technology that finds problems before they become visible.
Our Complete Black Mold Removal Temecula Process
American Response Team follows strict IICRC protocols for black mold removal. Our certified AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation Technician) professionals bring years of experience to every project. Here’s exactly what happens when you call us for emergency mold removal services:
Advanced Inspection and Moisture Mapping
Our technicians arrive quickly equipped with professional moisture detection tools. We use thermal imaging cameras that show temperature differences indicating moisture and mold behind walls. Moisture meters measure exact moisture content in building materials. This technology-based approach finds all affected areas, including hidden black mold colonies. We document everything thoroughly for your records and insurance company.
Strategic Emergency Mold Containment Services
Before touching any black mold, we establish strict containment zones. This critical step protects your family and unaffected areas of your home. We seal off contaminated spaces with heavy-duty plastic barriers. Negative air machines create air pressure differences that pull air from the mold zone, filter it through HEPA systems, and exhaust clean air outside. This professional containment prevents spores from spreading during removal work.
Safe Removal of Contaminated Materials
Black mold grows deep into porous materials. Complete removal requires discarding affected drywall, insulation, carpet, and ceiling tiles. We bag all contaminated items in sealed plastic before moving them through your home. Our technicians wear full protective equipment including N95 or P100 respirators, disposable suits, and gloves. This equipment protects them while preventing contamination of clean areas. Safety remains our top priority during every black mold removal Temecula project.
Professional Cleaning and Treatment
After removing contaminated materials, we clean all remaining surfaces with EPA-registered antimicrobial products. These commercial-grade solutions kill black mold at the root level. We treat studs, subfloors, and structural elements that contacted mold. Hard surfaces get scrubbed thoroughly with specialized cleaning agents. The EPA recommends professional remediation for mold problems because proper cleaning requires specific products and techniques that go beyond what homeowners can do themselves.
Advanced Air Filtration Systems
Throughout the entire process, we run commercial air scrubbers with HEPA filters. These machines capture microscopic mold spores floating in the air. We continue air scrubbing for 48-72 hours after completing physical removal. This extended filtration ensures all airborne contamination gets eliminated. Many projects also benefit from hydroxyl generators that neutralize odors and remaining organic compounds.
Moisture Control Solutions
Fixing moisture sources is equally important as removing black mold. Our team identifies and repairs all water problems. This might involve fixing plumbing leaks, improving ventilation, addressing HVAC condensation, or repairing roof damage. We provide detailed recommendations for long-term moisture control. Without addressing the root cause, black mold returns even after professional removal. Our comprehensive approach to emergency mold remediation includes preventing future problems.
Why Professional Emergency Mold Remediation Matters
Some homeowners consider handling black mold themselves to save money. This approach creates bigger problems and often costs more in the long run. Here’s why professional black mold removal Temecula services provide better protection:
Professional Safety Equipment
Our technicians use OSHA-approved protective gear including respirators that filter toxic spores, full protective suits preventing skin contact, and goggles protecting eyes from irritation. Most homeowners lack this equipment. Even standard painter's masks don't filter black mold spores effectively. Professional equipment costs hundreds of dollars and requires training to use correctly. Inadequate protection during DIY removal exposes you and your family to dangerous health risks.
Complete Containment Systems
DIY black mold cleaning typically involves no containment. This spreads contamination throughout your entire home. Our emergency mold containment services use industrial equipment that prevents cross-contamination. Negative air machines, sealed barriers, and air locks work together to protect clean areas. The spores released during removal get captured by HEPA filters instead of settling on your furniture, clothing, and belongings. This professional approach makes a tremendous difference in results.
Specialized Antimicrobial Products
Black mold requires specific commercial products for complete removal. Store-bought cleaners and bleach only clean surface mold. They don't kill mold roots growing inside porous materials. Professional-grade antimicrobials penetrate surfaces and eliminate mold completely. These EPA-registered products prove effective against Stachybotrys chartarum specifically. Consumers can't purchase these commercial formulations. Using inappropriate cleaning products wastes time and money while leaving black mold active in your home.
Finding All Hidden Mold
Black mold often grows in places you can't see. Our moisture detection equipment locates hidden problems. Thermal imaging reveals temperature differences indicating moisture and mold behind walls. Moisture meters measure exact moisture levels in materials. This technology costs thousands of dollars. Without these tools, DIY attempts miss significant mold colonies. Incomplete removal allows mold to continue spreading. Professional inspection finds every affected area for thorough remediation.
Insurance Documentation Support
Insurance companies require detailed documentation for mold claims. Our comprehensive reports include photographs, moisture readings, detailed scope of work, and itemized costs. We understand exactly what adjusters need for claim approval. This professional documentation helps you receive fair compensation. DIY cleanup provides no documentation for insurance purposes. Many homeowners lose thousands of dollars in coverage because they can't prove the extent of damage or necessity of repairs.
