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.
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!
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.
If your Escondido home has been hit by a sewage spill or backup, don’t wait, raw sewage is a serious health risk that spreads fast.
Whether you live near Kit Carson Park or in an older neighborhood off Grand Avenue, aging sewer systems, root intrusion, and line clogs can trigger messy and dangerous overflows.
Escondido’s mix of older properties, high summer temperatures, and hillside terrain make sewage issues especially urgent.

Escondido’s heat and dry air may make water evaporate faster — but that doesn’t help when sewage soaks into flooring, walls, and structural components. Within hours, bacteria and mold can begin to spread.
Delaying cleanup can mean:
Imagine your house is made of giant building blocks. If water gets in, these blocks (drywall, wood frames, and floors) can get soggy and crumble, or become weak and wobbly. This means they might need to be completely replaced.
When things stay wet for too long, tiny fuzzy or slimy growths called mold can appear. It’s like a plant, but it can grow inside your walls, under your floors, and in other damp places. Mold can look yucky and even make some people feel sick.
Water can make things swell up and change their shape, like a piece of paper that gets wet and then dries all wrinkly. This is called warping. When parts of your house warp, they can become crooked or uneven. Also, when things get wet and stay wet, they can start to smell bad, like old, damp clothes that have been left in a pile.
If your house gets damaged by water, you might hope your insurance company will help pay for the repairs. But if the damage happened because you didn’t take care of something obvious, like a leaky pipe you knew about but didn’t fix, then the insurance company might say, “Sorry, we won’t pay.” This is called negligence, and it means you didn’t do what you should have to prevent the problem.

Sewage is classified as blackwater, which is full of harmful bacteria, viruses, and contaminants.
Without professional containment, protective equipment, and high-grade disinfectants, DIY cleanup puts you at risk and may lead to incomplete sanitation.
Imagine dirty water, like from a leaky pipe or a flood, soaking into the walls, getting the carpet all soggy, or making the wooden floors wet. This kind of water can have germs and cause problems.
This means the yucky water didn’t just come from a clean tap. It might have overflowed from a toilet (gross!), backed up from a drain in the floor, or even flowed in from outside, like during a big storm.
Even after you try to clean up the mess, there’s still a bad smell that won’t go away. This often means the water left behind germs or mold that are still making things stinky.
It’s not just one small spot! The dirty water has spread to more than one room in the house, making a bigger mess and affecting more areas.
Sometimes, the yucky water gets into hidden parts of the house, like the crawlspace under the house or the basement. These areas can be hard to clean and can become very damp and moldy.
We’ll walk you through what’s affected, what your insurance may cover, and what cleanup is required.

We bill directly to insurance
Need help understanding your policy? We’ll walk you through it.
Smaller spills may cost under $1,200. Larger jobs requiring demolition, drying, and repairs can range up to $10,000. We provide free estimates and can bill insurance directly.
We inspect the damage, generate itemized Xactimate estimates, communicate with your adjuster, and file all documentation needed for approval and payout.
It depends on the size and damage. Simple cleanups take 1–2 days; larger cleanups with drying and repairs can take up to 10 days. We keep you updated every step.
Typically, insurance covers damage from sudden events like appliance leaks or pipe bursts. Natural flooding may require separate flood insurance.
If the affected space is isolated and doesn’t connect to living areas or HVAC systems, it might be safe. We’ll advise based on what we find during inspection.
