Clogged lines overflow into ceilings. Heavy rain finds weak spots in roofs. Long stretches of tule fog keep roofs, walls and crawlspaces damp through the winter.
Most homes are 1980s–2010s slab houses with attic AC. Most Clovis homes are 1980s–2010s single-story and two-story slab houses with attic AC, garage water heaters and copper or PEX plumbing. Valley heat keeps air conditioning running for months, and clogged condensate lines spill into ceilings. Hard water shortens the life of water heaters and fixtures, and slab leaks show up as warm floors or damp baseboards. Old Town Clovis has older homes with raised wood floors. Many newer homes have attic water heaters and air handlers, so an overflowing pan sends water straight through the ceiling.

Ceiling water damage repair questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Clovis?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Clovis Building division.
Is a slab leak covered by insurance in Clovis?
Many policies cover the water damage and access costs from a sudden slab leak, but not the pipe repair itself. Report it quickly and keep photos and the plumber's findings.
Will a water stain on the ceiling go away?
No. A stain means water got through, and the source needs fixing. After drying, the area needs stain-blocking primer and paint, or replacement if the drywall weakened.
Is a sagging ceiling dangerous?
Yes. Wet drywall can drop without warning. Keep people out from under it and relieve the water with a small hole into a bucket if it's safe.
