When disaster strikes, La Jolla homeowners need more than cleanup; they need trusted emergency reconstruction services to restore their homes and lives.
Whether you’re in Bird Rock, the Muirlands, or La Jolla Shores (ZIPs 92037, 92092), water and fire damage can destroy walls, ceilings, and structural integrity.
Salt air corrosion, aging stucco, and burst pipes are common culprits here, especially in homes near the coast or built in the 1970s and ’80s.
With our coastline’s high moisture content and updated fire hazard maps placing most of La Jolla in “very high” danger zones, fast response is critical.
Since our start, American Response Team has set the standard for water damage restoration in La Jolla. Our reconstruction methods exceed industry benchmarks, combining state-of-the-art equipment with years of local experience.
After a storm, pipe burst, or fire, water and structural damage can escalate within hours. That’s why our reconstruction team responds 24/7, 365 days a year — day or night — to begin stabilizing your property.
Emergency home reconstruction involves rebuilding the parts of your property that were damaged by a disaster like a fire, flood, mold infestation, or pipe burst.
After cleanup and mitigation, we handle the entire reconstruction process, including:
Structural framing
Drywall and insulation replacement
Flooring repair or installation
Cabinetry and countertops
Roofing and exterior work
Our initial step involves a thorough and meticulous evaluation of the property, identifying the full extent of the damage caused by fire, flood, or mold. This comprehensive assessment forms the bedrock for all subsequent restoration efforts.
We meticulously document all aspects of the damage, providing detailed reports, photographs, and potentially video evidence. This thorough and organized documentation is crucial for facilitating a smooth and successful insurance claim process, ensuring you receive the maximum possible coverage.
Our team meticulously develops a comprehensive reconstruction plan, outlining every phase of the restoration process. This plan is then submitted for all necessary local permits and approvals, ensuring compliance with building codes and regulations.
With approvals in hand, our skilled professionals meticulously execute the reconstruction plan, restoring your property to its pre-damage condition or better. Throughout this phase, rigorous inspections are conducted to guarantee the highest standards of quality, safety, and structural integrity.

Most fire damage reconstruction and water damage reconstruction is covered by insurance if it resulted from a sudden incident. We work directly with your adjuster and:
Use Xactimate billing software (standard for insurers)
Match costs to your carrier’s allowable rates
Submit required documentation and photos
Avoid delays and out-of-pocket mistakes
There's visible mold or fire residue
You’re dealing with insurance paperwork
Electrical or gas systems are affected
City permits are needed
Wiping soot from tile
Repainting a single wall
Replacing minor baseboards
When water damage occurs, moisture can seep into walls, creating a dark, damp environment perfect for mold to thrive
This growth is often hidden, spreading silently behind drywall and insulation, leading to musty odors and potential health risks
If left unaddressed, mold can compromise the structural integrity of your home and necessitate extensive remediation.

Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. When building framing becomes wet, it can create a serious risk of electrical shorts, shocks, and even fires
Damaged wiring or outlets in contact with moisture can lead to power outages and pose a significant threat to occupants
Immediate action is crucial to prevent accidents and further damage.
Smoke damage is not just an aesthetic issue; it’s a corrosive one
The acidic byproducts of combustion found in smoke can rapidly degrade surfaces, leading to discoloration, etching, and the permeation of unpleasant odors
The longer smoke residues remain, the more deeply embedded they become, making cleaning and restoration increasingly difficult and costly.
Most insurance policies have strict time limits for filing claims and completing necessary repairs after a disaster.
Failing to adhere to these deadlines can result in the denial of your claim, leaving you solely responsible for the financial burden of reconstruction and repairs.
It is critical to understand your policy’s terms and act promptly to ensure coverage.
