We’ve helped hundreds of San Diego residents recover from water damage, mold issues, and fire loss. Here’s what your neighbors are saying:
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.

San Diego’s warm climate can make biohazard situations especially dangerous. Bacteria and viruses multiply quickly in our year-round warm weather, making fast professional cleanup essential.
When biohazards aren’t cleaned properly, they can spread disease, attract pests, and create health hazards that last for months. Left untreated, these conditions can also lead to mold remediation needs that make the problem even worse.
Crime scene cleanup requires special training and certification. After police finish their investigation, families and property owners are left with a dangerous mess they can’t handle alone.
