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.
American Response Team provides complete water damage restoration throughout San Diego and the surrounding area.
From emergency water removal and extraction to full restoration and repairs, we handle every scenario: broken or leaky pipes, sink and toilet overflows, bathtub backups, AC leaks, storm damage, sump pump failures, slab leaks, crawl space flooding, refrigerator or dishwasher leaks, washing machine malfunctions, water heater bursts, hardwood flooring damage, and full-scale flood restoration.
Our certified technicians arrive fast, work efficiently, and restore your property the right way—so you don’t face worsening problems like hidden mold growth or structural failure.
Mitigating water and flood damage requires trained specialists who understand the full chain of consequences.
All of our technicians are certified by the IICRC and the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA). From slab leak detection to large-loss drying, we bring the right tools and expertise.
We also have decades of experience working directly with insurance companies. Our blog on top 5 mistakes homeowners make after water damage explains how to avoid common pitfalls that can delay claims or reduce coverage.
The first 24–48 hours after water damage are critical. Without fast action, hidden moisture can escalate into mold, wood rot, and expensive reconstruction.
For emergency situations, see our step-by-step guide on immediate water damage emergency response protocol.
Sewage damage is more than an inconvenience—it’s a biohazard.
Gray or black water in your San Diego property can trigger viral growth, parasites, bacteria, and mold if not handled quickly. Our sewage cleanup services follow strict IICRC and OSHA standards, ensuring containment, disinfection, and safe restoration.
Learn more about safety rules in our blog on sewage contamination cleanup regulations.

We bill directly to insurance
Need help understanding your policy? We’ll walk you through it.
We perform an on-site assessment, stop the source, and begin extraction. Learn why timing is so important in what happens if water damage is left untreated.
Immediately. The first 24–48 hours are critical. Read our blog on detecting concealed water damage in established neighborhoods for hidden risks.
No. We bill your insurance carrier directly with Xactimate pricing, minimizing out-of-pocket costs. See our resource on understanding different types of water damage for insurance purposes.
Mitigation usually takes 3–7 days, while repairs can take 2–6 weeks depending on materials and insurance approval. Our blog on when to rebuild after property damage explains what determines the timeline.
Absolutely. As a Contractor Connection–screened, approved vendor for multiple insurers, we handle all paperwork, photos, and drying logs for faster claim processing.
We handle mitigation immediately, but if spores have spread, a separate mold remediation plan may be required.
