Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Clovis
Water damage inside a Clovis wall cavity is almost always worse than the surface suggests. Our stucco-over-wood-frame construction hides slow moisture intrusion at window headers and roof transitions, and by the time you see a stain on the drywall, the framing behind it has usually been wet for weeks. Floodline Restoration Co. of California runs full-service Reconstruction & Cleanup crews throughout Clovis, from Old Town’s plaster-and-lath homes to the 93619 growth corridor pressing against the Sierra foothills. Call us at (888) 737-2439 and a live dispatcher answers, day or night. We do not hand your job off between extraction, drying, and rebuild. The same certified crew sees it through and hands you the moisture log when it’s done.
Why Floodline Restoration Co. of California Is Clovis’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
We’ve rebuilt enough Clovis homes to know exactly what we’re opening up before the first cut. The stucco exteriors common to 93611, 93612, and 93619 do a fine job shedding rain until they don’t, and the failures at window headers and roof-to-wall transitions are consistent enough that our crews can map likely cavity damage before removing a single sheet of drywall. That predictability saves Clovis homeowners money and keeps the job scoped honestly from day one. Curt Bowman founded this company in 2010 around a dispatch board, not a sales desk, and the standard has not moved since: background-checked, uniformed technicians, trained to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards, on every job. We answer the phone with a person at 2 a.m., and a certified crew reaches Clovis the same visit.
Local reputation matters in a city where homeowners have lived in the same house for twenty years and plan to stay. We stand behind every reconstruction with the 90-Day Done Right Promise, our Keystone Standard, in writing. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No paperwork battles, no arguing. That guarantee travels with every job in Clovis, from a Harlan Ranch slab flood to a post-construction cleanup near Clovis Avenue.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Clovis
Full-Service Reconstruction
When water, fire, or smoke has compromised framing, insulation, or finish surfaces, partial fixes don’t hold. Our Reconstruction & Cleanup in Clovis crews tear out only what’s failed, dry the cavity to the dry standard, and rebuild with materials matched to your home’s construction era. In 93619 tract homes, that typically means mold-resistant drywall, new insulation, and matched stucco repair at the exterior. In Old Town Clovis, where pre-1960 homes still have original plaster-and-lath walls, we take a different approach entirely. Those walls dry differently, and lead-paint protocols on original surfaces are not optional. Our reconstruction lead walks the scope with you before any work starts, and you get the written scope agreed before the first cut.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
A typical drywall patch and refinish in Clovis runs $450 to $1,200 depending on the square footage and finish level, but flood-cut drywall replacement along a slab perimeter usually lands between $1,800 and $3,500 when you factor insulation, baseboard, and texture matching. Flooring is its own animal. We’ve saved original oak flooring in 2004-era Harlan Ranch homes using Injectidry vacuum-mat drying after atmospheric river floods, and we’ve also replaced water-swollen laminate and delaminated engineered wood outright. If the flooring can be dried in place, we dry it. If it can’t, we tell you straight and price the replacement honestly.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When a Clovis home needs reconstruction, the contents often need to move out first. We inventory, photograph, pack, and store your belongings in a climate-controlled facility while the structural work happens, then return them once the rebuild is complete. Our contents team documents everything for the insurance carrier, so you’re not left reconstructing an inventory from memory three weeks after the loss. For smoke-affected contents from Sierra wildfire events that drift into Clovis’s 93619 neighborhoods, we clean with appropriate methods for the material, not a one-size-fits-all wipe-down.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
Post-construction cleanup in Clovis often means dealing with drywall dust that has worked into carpet fibers, upholstery, and window coverings. Our carpet and upholstery cleaning runs $0.35 to $0.55 per square foot for carpet, $75 to $150 per upholstered piece, and includes pre-vacuuming, hot-water extraction with Dri-Eaz equipment, and deodorizing. After a reconstruction, we run an air scrubber during the final cleanup phase to pull airborne particulates down before you move back in.

Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis
Clovis homes have a lot of the same bones: post-1985 stucco tract construction in the newer subdivisions, and a pocket of pre-1960 wood-frame homes in Old Town with original plaster and lath. We stock common drywall, insulation, baseboard, and trim materials used in both eras, so most reconstruction jobs in Clovis don’t stall waiting on parts from a warehouse in another city. Our Injectidry and Dri-Eaz systems are the same commercial-grade equipment used in high-end restoration work nationwide, and our crews are trained to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards. That combination means we can start the drying the same visit and keep it running until the moisture map reads dry, not stop early because a rental machine goes back.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Clovis Homes
- Slab-edge flooding from first-storm atmospheric rivers. East Clovis sits on expansive valley clay that bakes through 100°F summers and cracks, then absorbs winter stormwater slowly and shunts it toward foundations. The first atmospheric river of the season sends water under slab edges and into garages across 93619 like clockwork.
- Mold colonization inside stucco wall cavities. Tule fog season keeps ambient relative humidity near 100% for weeks from November through February. When a pipe leak or window-header intrusion happens during that window, the safe drying period collapses. We’ve found drywall at 32% moisture content and active mold on paper facing inside five days.
- Under-scoped cavity damage in 1990s and 2010s tract homes. Stucco hides what’s happening behind it. Window headers and roof-to-wall transitions fail slowly, and by the time surface staining appears, the framing and insulation have often been wet long enough to require full stud-depth tear-out, not a patch-and-paint job.
- Smoke and ash infiltration from Sierra wildfires. The 2020 Creek Fire prompted evacuations within miles of Clovis city limits, and communities in 93619 live directly against the wildland-urban interface. Smoke and ash work into HVAC ducts, window tracks, attic insulation, and carpet fibers, and require a different cleanup approach than standard post-construction dust.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Clovis
Why does the first atmospheric river of the season reliably flood garages and slab edges in east Clovis (93619)?
East Clovis subdivisions sit on expansive valley clay that bakes and cracks through the summer, then absorbs winter rainwater slowly and pushes it toward foundations instead of draining it away. When the first atmospheric river hits, builder-grade gutters overflow onto that desiccated clay, and the water finds the path of least resistance: under the slab edge and into the garage. In Harlan Ranch, our crew responded to a post-Christmas atmospheric river that sent water under the slab edge of a 2004 stucco home, and after five days of fog we found 100% relative humidity inside the west wall cavity, with drywall at 32% moisture content and mold already colonizing the paper facing. We opened that wall to full stud depth, replaced 18 linear feet of bottom plate, and ran our Injectidry system to save the original oak flooring. If you’re in 93619 and the season’s first big storm just hit, call (888) 737-2439 before the water has time to work into the framing.
How quickly does mold start in a Clovis stucco home after a leak during tule fog season?
Within 48 to 72 hours, and sometimes faster when tule fog holds ambient humidity near 100% for days at a time. Stucco walls don’t breathe the way wood siding does, so moisture trapped in a wall cavity during fog season creates ideal conditions for mold on drywall paper and framing. We’ve documented active colonization in under five days on multiple Clovis jobs. That’s why we run moisture mapping with Dri-Eaz equipment on day one and take daily readings until the dry standard is met, not until the surface looks dry. If you suspect a leak during fog season, call us. The window to avoid a tear-out is measured in hours, not weeks.
What’s different about reconstruction in Old Town Clovis homes with plaster-and-lath walls?
Plaster-and-lath walls dry differently than modern drywall and they demand a slower, more careful approach. Rapid drying can crack original plaster, and lead-paint protocols apply to pre-1960 homes. We scope Old Town Clovis reconstruction with that in mind: lower-heat drying where possible, selective lath-and-plaster repair rather than wholesale replacement, and lead-safe work practices on any original painted surface. The goal is to rebuild what failed without turning a water loss into a period-correctness disaster. We’ve worked enough Old Town homes to know where the original plumbing runs and what typically fails, and we price that work honestly before we open the first wall.
Do we need to worry about smoke and ash damage from Sierra wildfires even though Clovis is not in the mountains?
Yes, and we see it every fire season in the 93619 growth corridor. Clovis sits directly against the Sierra Nevada foothills wildland-urban interface, and the 2020 Creek Fire prompted evacuations within miles of city limits. Smoke and ash drift into Clovis neighborhoods, work into HVAC ductwork, attic insulation, window tracks, and carpet fibers, and linger long after the fire is out. That’s a different cleanup category than post-construction dust, and it requires air scrubbing, duct cleaning, and appropriate contents cleaning. If your home in east Clovis has a smoke smell that won’t go away after a fire season, call (888) 737-2439 for an honest assessment.
How do we document insurance claims for water damage in Clovis when the visible surface looks fine?
We photo-document everything, map the moisture with professional equipment, and hand a written moisture log to you and your adjuster. The critical issue in Clovis stucco homes is that the surface can look fine while the wall cavity behind it is saturated. Our crews use Dri-Eaz moisture meters and thermal imaging to document what’s behind the stucco before any tear-out happens, and that documentation becomes the basis for your insurance claim. We bill your carrier directly and coordinate with your adjuster, so you’re not playing messenger between us and them. If you’re looking at a water stain that seems minor but smells musty, call (888) 737-2439. The damage behind that stain is almost always bigger than the stain.
