Mold removal
Mold remediation in Clovis, CA
Mold remediation removes mold growth under containment so spores don't spread, cleans or discards affected materials, and corrects the moisture problem that let it grow. Several states, including Texas, Florida, Louisiana and New York, license mold remediation, so check your state's rules.

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.
Licensing in California: California requires contractors on jobs of $500 or more (labor and materials) to be licensed by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). Check the license on the CSLB website.

Mold remediation 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.
Do I need a licensed company for mold removal?
It depends on your state. Texas, Florida, Louisiana and New York license mold remediation above set sizes. In other states, look for IICRC-certified remediators, insurance and a written scope.
Does bleach kill mold?
Bleach can whiten mold on hard, non-porous surfaces, but it doesn't penetrate drywall or wood and adds moisture. Removal and cleaning, plus fixing the moisture, is the reliable fix.
