Monsoon and storm flood cleanup
Monsoon flood cleanup removes storm water that entered through doors, roofs or yards, cleans and sanitizes affected areas, and dries the structure. Outside water is treated as contaminated, so wet carpet pad and porous materials it touched are usually removed.

Arizona's monsoon season officially runs June 15 through September 30. Short, intense storms dump more rain than yards, flat roofs and scuppers can handle, and water finds low thresholds, sliding door tracks and garage slabs.
Flat and low-slope roofs on older Valley homes are a common entry point when debris blocks scuppers and water ponds behind the parapet. The roof needs a roofer; the water inside needs extraction and drying.
