Storm & Monsoon Water Damage Restoration in Phoenix
Arizona’s monsoon runs June 15 to September 30, and its storms do damage fast: microbursts, haboobs and rain that can fall at 1 to 2 inches per hour. Most storm calls we get in Phoenix are roof and ceiling leaks, wind-driven rain through walls and windows, and garages or rooms flooded by runoff.
Recent storms in the Valley
- September 16, 2026: NWS Phoenix reported 2 to 4 inches in the hardest-hit areas, mostly within two to three hours, with flooding in North Scottsdale and North Phoenix (Sonoran Wash and Skunk Creek).
- Halloween weekend 2026: an atmospheric river brought widespread rain; the heaviest total, nearly 3 inches, fell in Scottsdale near Gainey Ranch, per Flood Control District data reported by KJZZ.
Where storm water gets into Phoenix homes
- Flat roofs and parapets: cracked stucco on parapet walls and failed scuppers let water run inside the wall.
- Tile roofs: the tiles shed water, but worn underlayment beneath them leaks.
- Old swamp-cooler openings capped instead of properly patched.
- Block and stucco walls soaking up wind-driven rain.
- Runoff into garages and low rooms, especially near washes and in the foothills.
After the storm: what to do
- Stay out from under sagging ceilings.
- Photograph the damage inside and out before cleanup.
- Move belongings out of wet areas.
- Call your roofer to stop the leak and us to dry the inside. Both need to happen.
Rain vs. flood: why it matters for insurance
Rain that enters because the storm damaged your roof is often covered by homeowners insurance. Water that flows in from outside at ground level, from the yard, street or a wash, is flood damage, which standard Arizona policies don’t cover without separate flood insurance. Floodwater is also Category 3, so carpet and pad it touches are removed. More detail: does insurance cover water damage in Arizona?
Prepare before the next storm
Valley cities open free sandbag sites during monsoon season, and the Flood Control District of Maricopa County publishes floodplain maps and rain-gauge data so you can check your street. Clear roof scuppers and gutters before June.
