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 Professional Mold Removal Escondido Matters
Mold creates serious health problems. According to the CDC, mold exposure causes respiratory issues, allergic reactions, asthma attacks, and other health complications. Children and elderly residents face the greatest risks from mold exposure.
Time is critical with mold problems. Growth starts within 24-48 hours after water exposure. What begins as a small spot quickly becomes a major infestation. Professional mold removal Escondido service stops this progression before minor problems become expensive disasters.
Our team follows strict EPA guidelines for safe, complete removal. We don’t just clean visible growth. Our experts find hidden mold in attics, crawl spaces, walls, and other places you might not think to check.
