Water Damage Remediation
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!

water damage restoration
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.
About Our Water Removal Services
Water removal in San Diego County helps homeowners and property managers take control after sudden leaks, burst pipes, appliance overflows, storm intrusion, or sewage-related flooding. We show up with the right equipment, inspect the affected areas, and start extracting water immediately.
Even when the visible water is gone, moisture can stay trapped under flooring, behind baseboards, and inside wall cavities. That hidden moisture is what causes warping, staining, and mold risk. Our water removal process focuses on thorough extraction, targeted drying, and careful monitoring so the property is truly dry, not just “looks dry.”

Common Water Removal Problems We Fix
Standing Water That Spreads Fast
Even a small flood can travel into nearby rooms, soak rugs, and seep under baseboards. Water removal starts with fast extraction so water does not keep spreading while you are trying to protect your belongings.
Wet Carpet, Padding, and Subfloor
Carpet can hold a surprising amount of water, and padding underneath can stay soaked even when the surface feels dry. Our team removes water, checks what is underneath, and targets drying so moisture is not trapped where it can cause odor and damage.
Water Behind Walls and Under Flooring
Hidden moisture is one of the biggest reasons water damage comes back later. We use moisture detection to find wet drywall, insulation, and subfloor areas, then dry them properly during water removal so the structure is actually safe.
Humidity That Slows Drying
After a leak or flood, indoor humidity can stay high and stall the drying process. We use dehumidification and airflow control as part of water removal so moisture levels drop and materials dry faster.
Mold Risk After Water Incidents
Mold can begin growing quickly when moisture stays in walls, flooring, or cabinets. A strong water removal plan focuses on fast extraction, controlled drying, and preventative treatment when needed to reduce mold risk.

Understanding Insurance Coverage for Water Removal
Many property owners worry about cost after a water emergency. In many cases, insurance may help cover water removal and related drying when the damage happens suddenly, but coverage depends on what caused the water.
Often covered (depending on your policy):
- Burst pipes or sudden plumbing failures
- Appliance supply line leaks and accidental overflows
- Storm-related water intrusion that damages the structure
- Certain backup events if you added the right coverage
Often not covered:
- Gradual leaks or long-term seepage
- Maintenance-related issues and wear-and-tear
- Flooding from rising groundwater or surface water (often needs separate flood insurance)
We help you keep the claim organized with photos, moisture readings, and clear documentation so the scope of work is easier to understand and delays are less likely.
What Makes San Diego County Properties Different During Water Removal
San Diego County homes range from older properties with aging plumbing to newer builds with tight construction that can trap moisture. That’s why water removal needs to be tailored to the structure, not treated like a one-size-fits-all job.
Older properties may have:
- Older supply lines more likely to fail
- Slower drainage systems that overflow
- Materials that absorb water faster and dry slower
- Past repairs that hide weak points until water returns
Newer properties may have:
- Better insulation that can trap moisture if water gets inside
- Tighter building envelopes that need controlled drying
- Modern finishes that require careful repair matching
- Multi-level layouts where water travels to lower floors quickly
Our goal is to remove water, dry the structure fully, and prevent hidden moisture from causing future problems.
