Fast, Reliable Mold Remediation Across Clovis
If you’ve found mold in your Clovis home, here’s what you need to know right now: mold removal in Clovis typically runs between $1,200 and $4,500 depending on how far it’s spread, and the sooner you call, the less you’ll pay. That’s because mold doubles roughly every 24 to 48 hours in our valley heat. Wade Ferris founded Wade’s Restoration of California in 2007, and he still answers the phone himself. Call (855) 915-0646 and a live person picks up, day or night.
We work in Clovis every week. The 93611 and 93612 neighborhoods with their 70s and 80s stucco ranches, the newer 93619 communities east of Clovis Avenue, the older pockets near Old Town. When mold shows up in a Clovis attic in July, it’s not a mystery to us. We know exactly how it got there and what it’s going to take to get it out for good.
Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Clovis’s Preferred Mold Remediation Company
Wade puts his name on the truck and his cell number on the contract. Homeowners in Clovis who’ve dealt with a national chain that quoted one price on the phone and another at the door tell us the same thing: they want to know who’s actually showing up. With us, it’s Wade and his crew. Background-checked, uniformed, IICRC-certified. And Wade’s published his address and license number, which matters when you’re letting someone into your crawl space.
We’re not new to Clovis. We’ve handled mold jobs in the 93619 master-planned communities, the 93612 corridor, and everywhere in between. People on your street have probably heard of us, or had us out after a winter storm soaked a wall. Ask around. That’s how we’ve built this business since 2007: one Clovis house at a time, with a 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every mold job. If it’s not done right, Wade comes back and makes it right. That’s not a slogan. It’s stamped on the contract.
Response time to Clovis is fast because our Fresno, Central Valley office dispatches crews to Clovis daily. Wade heads out himself on most mold calls east of Highway 168. You’re not waiting on someone from Sacramento or Bakersfield to “get to the area.” We’re already in the area.
Our Mold Remediation Services in Clovis
Here’s what we actually do when mold shows up in a Clovis home. Not a vague list. The specific work.
- Mold Inspection & Testing: A visual inspection plus moisture readings throughout the structure. If you’re in a post-2000 stucco home in 93619, we’re checking OSB sheathing behind hairline cracks first.
- Mold Removal: Full containment, negative air pressure, HEPA vacuuming, and removal of contaminated drywall, insulation, and framing material.
- Black Mold Remediation: Stachybotrys is the one that scares Clovis homeowners, and rightly so. It loves warm, wet cellulose: drywall, OSB, cardboard boxes in a humid garage. We remove it at the source, not just on the surface.
- Air Quality Restoration: After mold removal, the air needs scrubbed. We run HEPA air scrubbers throughout the home until spore counts drop to acceptable levels.
- Crawl Space Treatment: Clovis crawl spaces bake in summer and trap moisture in winter. We address both: vapor barriers, drainage, and mold treatment on joists and subflooring.
- Moisture & Humidity Control: If the water source isn’t fixed, mold comes back. We find the source and fix it before we finish.
Mold Inspection & Testing in Clovis
Before we tear out drywall, we need to know what we’re dealing with. Inspection runs $200 to $500 in Clovis, and air sampling usually adds $100 to $300 per sample. In the 93619 stucco homes, we often find what you can’t see: moisture wicking through OSB behind a hairline crack for weeks before anything shows inside. Wade’s team uses moisture meters and thermal imaging to find hidden colonization before it becomes a whole-house problem.
Mold Removal in Clovis
Removal is the bulk of the work. A two-foot by four-foot patch of visible mold in a Clovis bathroom might be $1,200 to $2,500. A whole attic after a roof leak or an HVAC condensation line failure might hit $4,000 to $8,000. The difference comes down to how much drywall and insulation has to go, and whether the HVAC ducting has been compromised. In Clovis open-floor-plan homes, one mold source in the attic gets circulated through the entire house by the central air handler, which is why containment is non-negotiable on every job we do.
Black Mold Remediation in Clovis
Black mold in Clovis typically runs $800 to $1,500 per affected room when caught early. In a bathroom, under a sink, behind a washing machine, those are the common spots. In a crawl space or attic, figure $2,000 to $6,000. Stachybotrys produces mycotoxins, and it’s not something you want to disturb without proper PPE and containment. We seal off the work area with 6-mil poly, run negative air, and remove all contaminated material in sealed bags. Wade’s team is IICRC-certified and follows their S520 standard for every mold job in Clovis.
Air Quality Restoration in Clovis
After a wildfire smoke event like the 2020 Creek Fire, Clovis homeowners in 93619 had air that smelled like campfire for weeks. Smoke and soot settle in HVAC ducting, attic insulation, and carpet fibers. When mold follows a water intrusion, the same HVAC system circulates spores. Air quality restoration runs $1,000 to $3,500 in Clovis depending on square footage and whether the ductwork needs cleaning. We run Dri-Eaz HEPA 500 scrubbers and Phoenix air movers until the air doesn’t just look clear, it tests clear.

Common Mold Remediation Problems We See in Clovis Homes
- Hidden OSB saturation in newer stucco homes. Post-2000 construction in 93619 used OSB sheathing under stucco. A hairline crack admits winter storm moisture directly into the OSB, which wicks it across the wall cavity. By the time you see interior staining, the sheathing has been feeding mold for weeks.
- Whole-house mold spread through centralized HVAC. Open-floor-plan Clovis homes share one air handler. One attic mold source gets distributed to every room through the ducts. Containment has to account for that, or the remediation fails.
- Summer-dormant drainage issues that activate in winter. Clovis gets almost zero summer rain, so gutters and grading get neglected for months. Then an atmospheric river hits in January, and water channels against the foundation and through stucco cracks. We see recurring mold after superficial cleanups where the drainage was never fixed.
- Attic mold from poorly ventilated roof assemblies. Clovis summer temperatures push attic temps over 140°F. Add a bathroom fan venting into the attic instead of through the roof, and you’ve got a humidity factory. Colonial-style tract homes in 93611 and 93612 are especially prone.

FAQs - Mold Remediation in Clovis
Clovis sits farther east than any other Fresno metro city, directly against the Sierra foothills, which means smoke and soot from wildland fires like the 2020 Creek Fire settle into homes in 93619 and linger longer than they do in Fresno or Madera. The soot gets pulled into HVAC returns, coats the inside of ducting, and creates a food source for mold once moisture enters the system. In Clovis, an attic or crawl space that gets wet after a smoke event needs more than drying: it needs duct and air handler cleaning, HEPA air scrubbing, and often replacement of furnace filters and flex duct insulation before mold remediation is complete. Most mold companies don’t think to check for soot residue first. We do because we’ve seen what the Creek Fire did to the east side of Clovis.
If your Clovis home smells musty or smoky months after a fire, call (855) 915-0646. Inspection is free.
Builders in Clovis’s 2000s and 2010s growth boom applied stucco directly over OSB sheathing, and a hairline crack in that stucco lets winter rain soak the OSB behind it for weeks before any interior sign shows. The OSB wicks moisture horizontally across the wall, feeding mold in the wall cavity. By the time a Clovis homeowner sees bubbling paint or smells something off, the sheathing has already been colonizing. Remediation means opening the wall from the inside, removing the contaminated insulation and drywall, treating the framing, and drying the OSB with Injectidry injection drying before closing it back up. A quick exterior patch doesn’t fix what’s already growing inside.
In Clovis, a wet attic or crawl space in July goes from damp to moldy in 24 to 36 hours. The heat accelerates everything. A slow plumbing leak in a 93612 ranch home can colonize an entire subfloor before you notice a soft spot. Our equipment gets pushed harder in Clovis summers than anywhere else in the valley: days start before 6 a.m., and we stage dehumidifiers and air movers in the cool hours to get the jump on the heat. If you suspect water intrusion in a Clovis attic or crawl space, don’t wait for fall. Call (855) 915-0646 now.
Centralized HVAC in Clovis open-floor-plan homes turns a single mold source into a whole-house problem. The air handler pulls unconditioned air from the return, which in a post-2000 93619 home is often in a hall or open great room. A mold bloom in the attic gets drawn into the return plenum, past the filter, and into every supply register. That’s why containment in these homes is different: we seal off the entire HVAC system, not just the affected room, and run HEPA air scrubbers before and during removal. The filter alone won’t catch spores. If you don’t contain the system, you don’t contain the mold.
Clovis’s near-zero summer rainfall means gutters and perimeter grading go unchecked for months at a time. Then a winter atmospheric river arrives, and water that should have been channeled away from the foundation instead pools against it, or spills over clogged gutters and down the stucco. That water finds its way into wall cavities and crawl spaces. The homes that get recurring mold year after year in Clovis are almost always the ones where the drainage was never fixed. We address gutters, downspouts, and grading as part of remediation, because if the water comes back, the mold comes back, and no amount of scrubbing fixes a drainage problem.
