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.

How the job runs

  1. 1Make safePower is checked, the entry point is tarped or blocked, and the water is classified.
  2. 2Extract and removeStanding water is pumped out; contaminated pad, carpet and saturated drywall are removed.
  3. 3Clean and sanitizeHard surfaces and framing are cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial.

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.

FAQ

Monsoon & flood cleanup: common questions

When is monsoon season in Arizona?

Arizona's monsoon season officially runs from June 15 to September 30, with the heaviest storms usually in July and August.

Does homeowners insurance cover monsoon flooding?

Rain that enters through a storm-damaged roof or window is often covered. Surface water flooding from the ground up usually needs a separate flood policy. Check your policy wording.
