Why Tidemark Water Damage Fresno Is Clovis’s Preferred Fire Damage Restoration Company

Clovis homeowners call us because we show up with shoe covers and drop cloths already on the truck, and because the price you see in writing before work starts is the price on the final invoice. Rick Sumner leads our team, and he’s built the whole operation around one habit: explain the work before we start it. No one touches a wall or moves a piece of furniture without asking first.

We work in Clovis neighborhoods every week: Harlan Ranch, Old Town, Quail Lakes, Buchanan Estates. That matters when the fire happens in a 1920s bungalow with plaster-and-lath walls or a 2000s tract home with a slab foundation and copper supply lines. We know what’s behind the drywall in both. Our technicians carry IICRC, RIA, and IFA credentials and run Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and XPOWER drying equipment, which means the water from the firefighting effort gets found and dried, not just wiped up.

Every job is covered by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, we make it right. That’s not a slogan. It’s how Cedarwell Care Promise locations operate, and it’s why homeowners who called us once call us again when the next problem shows up.

Smoke Damage Restoration in Clovis

Smoke damage restoration in Clovis means removing soot, neutralizing odor, and cleaning every surface the smoke touched, including the places you can’t see, before the damage sets permanently. A kitchen fire in a Clovis tract home usually leaves smoke residue throughout the whole house, not just the burn room. We clean walls, ceilings, framing, ductwork, and contents. On a typical 1,800 square foot home, you’re looking at $900 to $3,600, depending on how far the smoke traveled and how long it sat.

Soot Removal Without Secondary Damage

Soot is acidic. Left on painted walls or metal fixtures for more than a few days, it etches and stains permanently. In Clovis’s older ranch homes with original lath-and-plaster, we use dry-chem sponge techniques first, then move to wet cleaning only where the plaster can handle it. Rushing with water on these walls cracks them. We go slow on purpose.

Odor Neutralization That Reaches Cavities

Smoke odor hides in wall cavities, insulation, and the backside of drywall. In Clovis’s tight, modern two-story homes with good air sealing, that odor can linger for months if you only clean surfaces. We use thermal fogging and hydroxyl generators, placed where the smoke was, not just where the damage showed. Kids’ bedrooms, closets, and painted interior doors get treated with the same attention as the kitchen.

Fire Damage Repair in Clovis

Fire damage repair in Clovis often includes drywall replacement, framing repair, texture matching, and repainting, plus structural drying when firefighting water soaked into the subfloor or walls. For a small kitchen fire in a Clovis ranch-style home, repairs usually run between $2,800 and $6,500. A larger fire that reaches the attic or compromises framing goes higher, often $15,000 to $30,000 or more. You see the written scope and the number before we open the first wall.

Structural Drying After the Fire Is Out

Firefighters put out the fire with hundreds of gallons of water. That water sits in drywall, subfloor, and insulation. In Clovis homes with slab foundations, water has nowhere to drain, so it migrates under flooring and along baseplates. We map the moisture with thermal imaging before we decide what to cut and what to dry in place. Rick’s team won’t skip this step, because drying past the visible water is the whole job.

Repairing Plaster, Drywall, and Texture in Clovis Homes

Matching texture on a Clovis ceiling is a skill. Orange peel on a 2004 tract home in Harlan Ranch looks nothing like the knock-down texture in a 1987 home off Temperance Avenue. We patch, float, and match texture to the existing surface, then prime and paint. When we’re done, you shouldn’t be able to see where the fire stopped and the repair started.

Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis

Whether we’re drying a slab leak under a 1990s ranch off Locan Avenue or setting air movers in a two-story home near Buchanan High, the equipment is matched to the job, not the other way around.

Common Fire Damage Restoration Problems We See in Clovis Homes

• Hidden slab leaks from copper pinholes after a fire. Clovis’s east side, built in the 1980s and 1990s, has copper supply lines that develop pinhole leaks from local water minerals. After a fire, the smoke smell can mask that damp, musty odor under the floor, and a warm tile spot or unexplained mold in a hallway is sometimes the only clue.
• Drying plaster-and-lath walls too fast. Many older homes near Old Town Clovis still have plaster-and-lath construction. If you run dehumidifiers too aggressively, the plaster cracks as the wood lath dries. We slow the drying curve on these homes and monitor moisture content daily.
• Missed smoke in tight alley-load townhome cavities. Clovis has a growing stock of alley-load townhomes with shared walls and limited airflow through wall cavities. Fire-saturated drywall in these tighter spaces needs antimicrobial treatment quickly, because mold takes hold within 48 hours when the cavity can’t breathe.
• Roof leaks after winter storms compound fire damage. Clovis gets occasional heavy winter rain, and if a fire compromised the roof deck, that first storm after the fire can bring water into the very rooms we just dried. We check roof penetration points as part of every fire repair scope where the roof was involved at all.
