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.

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.

Fast Emergency Response From Your Local Damage Restoration Company in Escondido
Every second counts during a property emergency. Our damage restoration company Escondido CA operates from nearby locations, which means we reach you faster than distant competitors. We serve homes and businesses in zip codes 92025, 92026, 92027, 92029, and surrounding areas with the same quick response time.
When you discover water pooling in your living room or smell smoke after an electrical fire, call 858-750-5923 immediately. A trained specialist answers every call—day or night. We don’t use answering services. You speak directly with someone who understands property emergencies and can dispatch our team right away.
Our damage restoration company in Escondido carries advanced equipment on every truck. This means work starts the moment we arrive. No waiting for tools. No delays while we “go back to the shop.” We come prepared to handle water extraction, smoke removal, or emergency board-up services immediately.
Professional Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration
Fire leaves behind more than charred walls. Smoke penetrates fabrics, carpets, and even concrete. Soot coats surfaces with acidic residue that continues damaging your property for weeks. Our damage restoration company in Escondido CA handles every aspect of fire recovery.
Escondido residents know wildfire risks increase during hot, dry months. The Escondido Fire Department provides excellent protection, but when fire strikes, professional restoration becomes essential. We work alongside fire departments and insurance adjusters to document damage and begin recovery immediately.
Our fire damage restoration services include smoke odor removal using thermal fogging and ozone treatment. These professional techniques eliminate smoke smells that ordinary cleaning can’t touch. We also clean soot from walls, ceilings, and contents using specialized products that don’t cause additional damage.
Kitchen fires spread quickly in Escondido’s older homes near San Pasqual High School. Grease fires climb walls and reach ceilings within seconds. Even small fires create major smoke damage throughout entire homes. Our damage restoration company Escondido team assesses all affected areas—not just obviously burned spaces.
Understanding what to do immediately after a house fire helps homeowners protect their interests and speed up recovery. We guide you through every step, from initial emergency response through final reconstruction.
Expert Mold Inspection and Remediation
Escondido’s climate creates perfect conditions for mold growth. Warm temperatures combined with moisture from leaks create ideal environments for fungal colonies. Our damage restoration company Escondido provides professional mold inspection services that find hidden problems before they affect your family’s health.
Many homeowners wonder about staying home during mold remediation. The answer depends on mold type, location, and extent of contamination. Our certified specialists explain options clearly so families make informed decisions.
Professional mold remediation requires containment barriers, negative air pressure systems, and HEPA filtration. We don’t just spray bleach on visible mold. We remove contaminated materials, clean affected surfaces, and treat areas to prevent regrowth. The CDC’s mold cleanup guidelines recommend professional help for areas larger than 10 square feet—we handle projects of any size.
Homes near Dixon Lake and Lake Wohlford experience higher humidity levels, increasing mold risks. Basements, crawl spaces, and attics in these areas require extra attention. Our damage restoration company in Escondido uses moisture meters and thermal imaging to locate problem areas you can’t see.
Sewage Cleanup and Contaminated Water Removal
Sewage emergencies create dangerous situations. Black water contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause serious illness. Never attempt sewage cleanup yourself. Our damage restoration company Escondido CA handles contaminated water safely using professional protective equipment and EPA-approved disinfectants.
Escondido’s wastewater system serves thousands of homes, but blockages still occur. Tree roots grow into sewer lines. Older pipes collapse. When sewage backs up into your home, immediate professional response prevents health hazards and additional property damage.
Our sewage cleanup process removes all contaminated materials. This includes flooring, drywall, insulation, and contents that absorbed sewage. Then we disinfect remaining surfaces multiple times. Finally, we deodorize to eliminate lingering smells. The entire process follows sewage contamination cleanup regulations strictly.
Businesses near Grand Avenue face sewage backup risks just like homes. Commercial properties require fast cleanup to minimize closures. Our damage restoration company Escondido completes commercial sewage jobs quickly so you can reopen as soon as possible.
Flood Damage Restoration Services
While Escondido isn’t directly coastal, heavy storms still cause flooding. Properties near creeks and drainage channels face flood risks during winter storms. Escondido’s flood information helps residents prepare, but when flooding occurs, professional restoration becomes necessary.
Flood restoration differs from standard water cleanup. Floodwater carries contaminants from streets, yards, and storm drains. Our damage restoration company in Escondido treats flood damage as a contamination emergency, using Category 3 water protocols for every flood job.
According to FEMA’s flood safety guidelines, homeowners should never enter flooded buildings until professionals check for structural damage and electrical hazards. We perform safety inspections before beginning cleanup work. This protects both our team and your property.
Areas near the San Pasqual Valley experience runoff during heavy rains. Water flows downhill rapidly, flooding lower properties. Our damage restoration company Escondido responds quickly to flood emergencies because we know how fast water damage escalates.
Insurance Claims Assistance
Navigating insurance claims adds stress to already difficult situations. Our damage restoration company Escondido CA simplifies the claims process by working directly with your insurance company. We document everything, write detailed estimates, and communicate with adjusters regularly.
We use Xactimate estimating software—the same system insurance companies use. This ensures our estimates match adjuster expectations, reducing disputes and delays. Many clients want to know about average insurance payouts for water damage in California. We help you understand coverage and maximize legitimate claims.
Common reasons water damage claims get denied include maintenance issues, delayed response, and incomplete documentation. We help you avoid these pitfalls. Our team photographs everything, saves damaged materials for adjuster inspection, and provides detailed timelines.
Some damage restoration companies pressure homeowners into unnecessary repairs or inflate estimates. Our damage restoration company in Escondido operates differently. We recommend only essential services and work within legitimate insurance coverage. This honest approach builds long-term trust with families and insurance companies alike.
Reconstruction and Repairs
Restoration doesn’t end with cleanup and drying. Many properties require reconstruction after significant damage. Our damage restoration company Escondido handles everything from minor drywall repairs to complete room rebuilds.
Knowing when to rebuild instead of just repair saves money long-term. Sometimes extensive damage means rebuilding costs less than patching problems repeatedly. Our specialists assess structural integrity honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
We rebuild homes to modern codes while matching existing styles. Families near California Center for the Arts appreciate quality craftsmanship that preserves their home’s character. From custom cabinetry to hardwood floor installation, our damage restoration company in Escondido CA delivers beautiful results.

Preventing Property Damage
Prevention saves money and stress. Our damage restoration company Escondido experts share these tips:
Check water heaters annually. Most fail between years 10-15. Replace aging units before they flood your home. Inspect supply hoses on washing machines and dishwashers twice yearly. Rubber hoses crack and burst without warning—replace them every five years.
Clean gutters and downspouts before winter rains. Clogged drainage systems cause roof leaks and foundation flooding. Escondido’s trees drop leaves year-round, making regular cleaning essential.
Test sump pumps monthly if you have one. Pour water into the pit and verify the pump activates correctly. Battery backup systems prevent flooding during power outages.
Install water leak detectors near water heaters, under sinks, and behind toilets. Modern sensors connect to smartphones and alert you immediately when leaks start.
Trim trees away from power lines and buildings. Falling branches during storms cause both fire and water damage. The Escondido Outdoor Activities guide includes information about tree maintenance resources.
