AfterFast, Reliable Water Damage Restoration Across Clovis
Water damage restoration in Clovis typically costs $1,200 to $4,800 for extraction and structural drying, with full mitigation on a 1,500-square-foot home running $3,000 to $8,000 when drywall removal and insulation replacement are required. Most jobs in Clovis can be dispatched same-day, with a crew on site within 60 to 90 minutes of your call. If water is moving through your home right now, call (629) 213-4606 and a live person will answer, 24 hours a day.
We work throughout Clovis, from the 1950s wood-frame homes around Old Town and central Pollasky Avenue to the 1990s and 2000s stucco tracts spreading northeast toward the Copper and Herndon corridors. Clovis homes face a specific set of water intrusion problems that differ from Fresno proper, because the housing stock and the foothill-adjacent climate combine in ways that surprise owners. A home designed for 12 inches of rain a year behaves differently when an atmospheric river drops three inches in a day. We know what that looks like on a moisture meter, and we write down every reading before we write up the job.
Key Takeaways
- Emergency water extraction in Clovis starts at $1,200 and structural drying averages $2,100 to $3,900, documented line-item in writing before anyone starts work.
- Clovis’s 105°F-plus summer heat compresses the mold window to 24 to 48 hours, so same-day dispatch matters more here than in cooler markets.
- Northeast Clovis tract homes along Copper, Herndon, and Loma Vista need different drying equipment than Old Town wood-frame houses. We carry both.
Why DryMark Restoration Is Clovis’s Preferred Water Damage Restoration Company
DryMark Restoration was founded in 2011 by a former claims adjuster who saw the same failure pattern again and again: restoration work got done, but the documentation was too thin to survive an insurance review. That origin shaped how we work in Clovis. Every job gets a written price before work begins, a photo record on every visit, and daily moisture logs that name the equipment used and the readings taken. That’s The Haven Standard, and it’s stamped on every job we do.
Our Water Damage Restoration team is background-checked, uniformed, and licensed, and the license number appears on every written scope we leave with you. Clovis homeowners tend to ask for proof before they commit, which is exactly how we want to work. Bring us a competitor’s written estimate and we’ll review it at no charge. If what they’re proposing misses something our moisture readings would catch, we’ll show you the gap, in writing, with the numbers to back it up.
When a pipe bursts off Gettysburg Avenue or a water heater lets go in a Harlan Ranch home, the first call should reach a person, not a voicemail tree. Our live dispatch line is answered 24/7, which matters when water is still spreading across a slab foundation at 2 a.m. and the slab is wicking it into every wall it touches. We document what we find: affected square footage, material classifications by trade name, and psychrometric data (the temperature, humidity, and airflow readings that tell us how fast we can dry the structure). You’ll see the plan before we start, and the log as we go.
Our Water Damage Restoration Services in Clovis
Emergency Water Extraction
Extraction is the first thing that happens after we arrive, and in Clovis’s summer heat, every hour matters. In a standard Clovis slab-on-grade tract home, standing water that sits for six hours at 100°F has already begun wicking into drywall and baseboards. We run truck-mounted and portable extraction units, then place air movers and dehumidifiers from XPOWER and B-Air the same visit. You get a moisture map, room by room, before we leave: starting readings, affected areas, and a drying target. That’s the written record that makes the invoice payable.
Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Structural drying is where cheap jobs fail. We use Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers paired with airflow from B-Air and XPOWER, monitored daily with moisture meters and thermal imaging. In northeast Clovis stucco homes, we pay special attention to wall cavities behind stucco weep screeds, because those minimal drainage details hold water long after the surface reads dry. We define what we’re doing in plain language: when we say we’re measuring vapor pressure differential, we mean we’re checking how fast water is leaving the wall. The daily log shows the trend, so you can see the job actually drying, not just being told it is.
Flood Cleanup
Atmospheric river storms cause a specific flood pattern in Clovis. Homes engineered for a near-desert rainfall baseline collect water at roof-to-wall transitions and window flanges, and the runoff overwhelms landscaping drainage in the flat northeast tracts. We handle crawlspace and slab flooding, contaminated standing water, and the silt and debris that come with storm intrusion. If the water is category 2 or worse, we tell you in the written scope, because that changes the restoration protocol and the price. No surprises after the crew is inside, per Haven Standard, Clause 1.
Burst Pipe Restoration
A burst supply line under a sink off Minnewawa Avenue can saturate baseboards, wick up the drywall, and destroy the pad under laminate flooring inside 12 hours. We cut the affected drywall, remove saturated insulation, set up containment if needed, and dry to pre-loss condition. In Clovis’s slab homes, we also check under vinyl and laminate for trapped moisture, because the slab won’t dry on its own. You’ll get a written scope naming every cut, every reading, and every replacement material before we start.

BeforeAfterCeiling & Roof Leak Water Damage in Clovis
Roof-to-wall transition leaks are the most common call we get from northeast Clovis, where 1990s and 2000s stucco tract homes were built for a climate that no longer matches what the Sierra foothills now send. In a home off Herndon Avenue near the Clovis foothills, our crew responded to a roof-to-wall transition leak that had saturated the attic insulation after an atmospheric river event. The original stucco weep screed was minimally detailed, letting water run behind the exterior wall and pool at the floor plate. Our techs pulled moisture readings at 38% in the baseboards, set up containment and air movers with Injectidry mats, and found the category 2 water had already wicked up the drywall within 48 hours. We cut the affected material, replaced the insulation, and dried the structure to pre-loss condition before mold could take hold.
That’s the job most Clovis homeowners don’t know they have until the ceiling stains appear. The storm damage is in the wall cavity, not the roof. We find it with moisture meters and thermal imaging, then quote the actual scope in writing. No painting over the stain and hoping.
Common Water Damage Restoration Problems We See in Clovis Homes
- Superficial odor treatments on ductwork after wildfire smoke. Many northeast Clovis homes had central HVAC running nonstop during the 2020 Creek Fire, pulling particulate deep into ductwork and attic insulation. Surface treatments fail in these homes; full duct replacement and attic insulation removal are often the only fix that stops the recurring smoke smell. We write that scope when the readings show particulate, and we show you the photos.
- Delayed mold discovery in 1950s to 1970s wood-frame homes. Central and Old Town Clovis have aging rooflines that allow slow water intrusion. It goes unnoticed until black staining spreads behind paneling or along ceiling joists. We’ve pulled moisture readings in those crawlspaces that explain mold the homeowner couldn’t see for months.
- Ignoring window flanges and stucco weep screeds on 1990s to 2010s tract homes. These homes were designed for under 12 inches of rain per year, and the minimal detailing allows sudden atmospheric river water to flood wall cavities and crawlspaces before owners realize their “dry climate” roof is overwhelmed. When we find it, we document every compromised transition point with photos and moisture readings.
- Sacrifice of drying time to save money on equipment. Clovis’s heat rewires the drying equation. Undersized dehumidifiers and too few air movers extend the drying window, and the 105°F temperature inside a closed-up home accelerates mold. We size equipment to the affected square footage and the material class, and the daily log proves the drying curve.

FAQs - Water Damage Restoration in Clovis
Because your HVAC system pulled the smoke into the ductwork and attic insulation continuously during the fire, and surface treatments on ducts don’t reach particulate embedded in the insulation. Clovis homes in the northeast foothill-adjacent tracts ran their air conditioning for weeks during the Creek Fire event. The smoke doesn’t just coat surfaces; it gets drawn through return vents and deposited throughout the duct liner and insulation. Full duct replacement and attic insulation removal are the only documented fixes that stop the recurring smoke smell in these homes. If your home has had that smell come back after treatment elsewhere, call (629) 213-4606 and we’ll inspect the system and show you what we find in the photos.
Mold colonization can begin within 24 to 48 hours when interior temperatures exceed 90°F and moisture remains in porous materials. Clovis’s summer heat, sustained at 105°F to 110°F, is an accelerant, not a protector. The heat speeds up evaporation from floors and slabs, but it also speeds up microbial growth in the wet drywall, carpet pad, and baseboard cavities where airflow can’t reach. That’s why same-day extraction and same-week drying matter more in Clovis than in coastal cities. We document the drying curve daily, and if the readings stall, we adjust equipment placement the next visit.
Because those homes were engineered for a near-desert rainfall baseline, typically under 12 inches per year, and the detailing at stucco weep screeds, window flanges, and roof-to-wall transitions was kept minimal. When an atmospheric river drops three inches within a day or two, the water finds those under-detailed transitions first. Water runs behind the stucco, collects at the floor plate, and wicks up into the wall cavity before any interior stain appears. The damage is structural, not cosmetic, and we find it with moisture meters, not visual inspection alone. The fix includes cutting the affected drywall, replacing saturated insulation, and drying the cavity with Injectidry mats placed directly against the framing.
The older wood-frame homes around Old Town and central Clovis have framing that responds differently to water, and their rooflines often allow slow, hidden intrusion. The 1950s-1970s homes are more forgiving of some drying techniques but more prone to undetected mold behind paneling and in crawlspaces. The key difference is that water travels through insulation and framing cavities in ways the old plaster and wood lath hide, so visible staining appears later, but the damage is further along. In newer northeast tract homes, the water runs through stucco cavities and wicks up drywall quickly, and the visible signs arrive sooner, but the slab foundation traps water under flooring that can’t dry without removal. We use different probes and different baseline moisture assumptions for each home type, and we explain the difference in the written scope.
Yes. The drying goal is the same, but the path to get there differs. Stucco cavities hold water behind the exterior finish and dry slowly unless airflow is forced through the cavity with Injectidry mats or wall-cavity drying systems. Wood-frame homes respond well to conventional air movers and dehumidifiers because the open framing allows evaporation into the room air. In both cases, we document the psychrometric readings daily and adjust equipment placement based on the vapor pressure differential (the directional force driving water out of materials) and the moisture readings from the probes. The written scope will name the equipment being used and explain why it matches your home type.
If you have water moving through your Clovis home right now, don’t wait for the stain to show. Call (629) 213-4606 and talk to a live person. We’ll dispatch a crew to your Clovis home, write the price before work starts, document every reading, and stand behind the job with the 365-Day Done Right Promise under The Haven Standard.
