Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Selma
Reconstruction and cleanup in Selma means dealing with three things most California restoration companies never think about: Valley fever exposure in disturbed soil, tule fog that stretches drying times for days, and irrigation-canal groundwater that mimics plumbing leaks every growing season. Our crews work in the 93662 ZIP every week, so we plan for all three before the first cut. If you’re standing in a flooded hallway or looking at a water-stained ceiling in Selma right now, call (888) 737-2439 and you’ll reach a live dispatcher, not a recording, any hour of any day.
We’re Floodline Restoration Co. of California, founded in 2010 by Curt Bowman. We handle everything from first extraction to finished rebuild, so you never hand the job off to a second crew that doesn’t know what the first one found. Every job we do in Selma carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, we make it right. No arguing, no paperwork battles.
Why Floodline Restoration Co. of California Is Selma’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Selma homeowners call us because we answer the phone. Not an answering service, not a call-back queue. A live person picks up at 2 a.m. and starts moving a crew toward Selma. That matters when a supply line lets go in a house on Rose Avenue or a roof leak opens up near Selma High School during a January fog bank. We’ll be there when we say.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards. They carry professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix, and they know the housing stock in Selma: modest mid-century single-family homes, many still on original slab-on-grade foundations with jalousie windows and no vapor barriers. Those homes dry slower, hide mold longer, and punish crews that rush. We don’t rush. We read the moisture map, run daily readings, and hand you the log.
When you hire our Reconstruction & Cleanup team, you get the same certified crew from day one through final paint. No mid-job handoff. No inherited subcontractor who never saw the water line. That’s the Floodline way, and it’s why Selma homeowners who’ve been burned once by a contractor call us when the next problem hits.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Selma
Full-Service Reconstruction
Reconstruction in Selma’s older slab-on-grade homes demands more than drywall patchwork. Many of these houses were built for agricultural and packing-shed workers in the mid-20th century, and decades of deferred maintenance mean we’re often rebuilding wall cavities that were already compromised before the water event. We handle structural repairs, full room rebuilds, and finish work, all scoped in writing before we start. A typical full-service reconstruction in Selma runs $8,000 to $45,000 depending on how far the damage has traveled from the original leak point.
One critical local factor: if your home sits near an agricultural irrigation lateral or drainage canal, we check for groundwater intrusion before we rebuild anything. Otherwise you’ll be replacing the same drywall every irrigation season. We’ve written that exact sentence into scopes for Selma homeowners who’d lived with the annual mold bloom for years without knowing the true source.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Selma’s tight alley-load access and narrow door clearances on older homes mean drywall and flooring work has to be done carefully. Our crews cut and stage materials to fit through jalousie window openings and cramped hallways without gouging door frames. Water-damaged drywall and flooring in Selma typically runs $1,200 to $6,000 for a contained repair, more if the damage extends into multiple rooms or requires asbestos testing on older flooring materials. We test, we scope, and we show you the number before we order materials.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When a Selma home floods, the contents usually need more than a wipe-down. Upholstered furniture, bedding, clothing, and paper goods absorb moisture and hold it long after the standing water is gone. We inventory, photograph, and pack out affected contents, then clean and restore them with professional-grade drying equipment. Contents restoration and pack-out in Selma runs $2,500 to $15,000 depending on volume and what’s restorable. The photo log we keep becomes part of your insurance claim file, which helps when you’re dealing with an adjuster who wasn’t standing in your living room the night the water came in.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
After reconstruction is done, we clean what stayed. Carpet and upholstery in Selma homes collect dust from agricultural operations, valley heat, and everyday living. Our truck-mounted extraction cleans deeper than rental machines, and we dry to the standard, not to a guess. Carpet and upholstery cleaning in Selma runs $180 to $600 per room set, and we coordinate it with the rebuild schedule so you’re not waiting on a second company.

Trusted Brands We Service in Selma
We stock local parts and materials for the brands Selma homes actually have, from standard six-panel doors to the older hardware you find on mid-century ranch houses throughout the 93662 ZIP. Our crews run Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and Phoenix air movers on nearly every drying job, and we calibrate the equipment to the house, not to the calendar. That means a flooded bedroom in a house off Floral Avenue dries on the equipment’s schedule, not ours. When you call (888) 737-2439, we tell you what we’ll run and why.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Tule fog stretching drying times: From November through February, outdoor relative humidity near Selma sits at or near saturation for days. A wall cavity that dries in three summer days can take a week or more in January fog. We account for that in every winter scope, or we trap moisture behind new drywall.
- Valley fever exposure during crawl-space work: Fresno County is one of the nation’s highest-risk zones for Coccidioides immitis, the fungus that causes Valley fever. Any work that disturbs soil, insulation, or deteriorated materials in a crawl space demands proper respiratory protection and containment. We train our crews for this and we don’t cut corners on it.
- Irrigation-canal groundwater intrusion: Homes near Selma’s agricultural laterals and drainage canals can flood every season without a plumbing failure anywhere in the house. Groundwater rises, seeps through slab edges, and looks exactly like a supply-line leak until someone checks the source. We check.
- Tight alley-load access on older homes: Many Selma homes built in the 1940s through 1960s have narrow side access, jalousie windows, and interior hallways under 36 inches. Contractors who don’t plan for that damage door frames and window tracks moving debris and drywall sheets. Our crews plan the material path before demolition starts.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Selma
Selma’s winter tule fog can stretch structural drying from three days to seven or more because outdoor relative humidity stays near saturation for days or weeks at a time. We set our drying targets to the actual moisture readings, not a standard timeline, and we don’t close walls until the Dri-Eaz and Phoenix equipment tells us the materials have reached the dry standard. Call (888) 737-2439 for a moisture assessment in Selma.
Yes, if reconstruction or cleanup will disturb soil, insulation, or deteriorated materials in a flooding crawl space in Selma. Fresno County is among the nation’s highest-risk regions for Coccidioides immitis, the fungus that causes Valley fever, and airborne spores from disturbed soil are a real occupational hazard. Our crews follow respiratory-protection and containment protocols for this work, and we recommend any Selma homeowner with a flooding crawl space get a professional assessment rather than digging around themselves.
Seasonal groundwater intrusion is the most likely cause, and it’s a pattern we see regularly in the 93662 ZIP. Irrigation laterals and drainage canals raise the local water table during growing seasons, and water seeps through slab edges into homes that have no foundation drainage. On a slab-on-grade home near one of Selma’s agricultural laterals, our crew traced recurring water damage to exactly this source, installed a perimeter drainage system with a Dri-Eaz sump pump, and rebuilt with moisture-resistant materials. That ended an annual mold bloom no plumbing repair could have stopped. Call (888) 737-2439 if this sounds like your house.
Yes. Many Selma homes from the mid-20th century still have original slab-on-grade construction, jalousie windows, and no vapor barriers, which makes them slower to dry and more prone to hidden moisture than newer pier-and-beam homes. Our crews plan material paths through narrow openings, protect window frames during debris removal, and adjust drying protocols for slab-on-grade cavities. This is standard work for us in Selma, not an exception.
Yes, and we plan for it from the first site visit. Selma’s older housing stock includes many homes with alley-load garages, tight side yards, and narrow entry clearances that make moving drywall sheets and demolition debris a real challenge. We stage materials to fit through the tightest opening on the property, and we protect door frames and window tracks while doing it. If your home has difficult access, mention it when you call (888) 737-2439 and we’ll factor it into the site plan before we arrive.
