Monsoon storm pushing water into your home? We run flood extraction and drying 24/7, with June-through-September crews on standby and a 60-minute response across Tempe.
When a monsoon cell stalls over the south-side Valley, the water comes fast and from every direction — sheeting across the yard against the garage door, pushing under thresholds, and finding its way through roof scuppers a haboob just battered. Desert ground does not soak up a hard rain; it sheds it, straight toward your slab.
Safety first with storm water. Do not walk into standing water where outlets or a panel could be live — cut power to the flooded area at the breaker only if you can reach it from a dry spot, or wait for us. Move people, pets, and what belongings you can up to dry ground, and photograph the flooding and any exterior entry point before cleanup. Treat storm water as dirty until proven otherwise.
Then call. From June 15 through September 30 we keep crews on standby for exactly this, and we answer live at any hour a storm hits. We target a 60-minute response across Ahwatukee Foothills, South Tempe, Tempe, and Knoell Gardens, though a bad storm night can stretch that — we dispatch the instant you call.
Every monsoon storm flood emergency job covers the full scope — one crew from the first pass to the last moisture reading.
Active water emergency right now?
We answer 24/7 — a real person, not a machine.
Storm flooding is fast and often dirty, so we move fast and treat it carefully. Here is how a monsoon call gets handled, following the IICRC S500 standard for category and drying.
You reach a real person even on the worst monsoon night. We size up the flooding, talk you through immediate safety, and dispatch a standby crew with a 60-minute response target, storm conditions permitting.
Storm water is not clean water. We assess whether it is gray or contaminated, because water that crossed the yard, a wash, or the street brings bacteria and debris that change how we handle containment and disposal.
Truck-mounted extraction pulls the standing water out fast, before it climbs the drywall any higher or spreads to rooms the storm had not yet reached. In a flood, speed is what saves flooring and framing.
Where storm water soaked porous materials like carpet pad, baseboards, and the bottom of drywall, we remove and bag what cannot be safely cleaned, then clear the way for proper drying and disinfection.
We apply antimicrobial treatment to surfaces the dirty water touched, then set LGR dehumidifiers and air movers and dry to a verified standard, monitoring daily so nothing stays damp into the next storm.
We log the loss in detail — photos, water category, moisture readings, and scope — so your claim is well supported, and we help you understand how storm and flood coverage may apply to what happened.
Arizona’s monsoon runs June 15 through September 30, and it does its damage in bursts — a single stalled cell can drop more water in an hour than a wash can carry. The Ahwatukee Foothills and the low spots around South Tempe feel it first, where runoff off the high desert funnels toward homes. We plan our summer staffing around that window and keep crews and equipment ready so a 2 a.m. flood does not have to wait for morning.
There is an insurance wrinkle worth knowing before the storm, not after: standard homeowners policies generally do not cover rising storm or flood water — that usually requires a separate flood policy. Water that comes in through a storm-damaged roof may fall under your homeowners coverage, while water that rose up from the ground outside typically does not. We document exactly how and where the water entered so the right coverage can be sorted out. (General information only; your policies govern.)
One inch of floodwater inside can mean roughly $25,000 in damage once it reaches drywall, flooring, and belongings, and in our heat mold can start within 24 to 48 hours. That combination — fast, dirty water and a short mold clock — is why monsoon flooding is never a wait-and-see situation.
We never quote a scary number over the phone. After a free on-site assessment you get a clear estimate. These are the factors that move the price:
We answer 24/7 and dispatch immediately, with a 60-minute response target across the south-side Valley.
Our yard sits on Auto Drive in 85284 near the I-10 Broadway Curve — not a call center three states away.
IICRC-certified crews following the S500 drying standard, with documentation your adjuster expects.
Extraction, drying, and full repair under one roof — you never juggle multiple contractors.
We document every reading and photo and work directly with your carrier to keep the claim moving.
We monitor moisture daily and prove the structure is dry — the real way to stop mold.
It depends on how the water got in. Rising water from the ground outside usually needs a separate flood policy, while water through a storm-damaged roof may be covered by homeowners. We document the entry point carefully so the right coverage can be applied, but your policies make the final call.
It can be. Storm water that crossed yards, washes, or streets often carries bacteria and debris, and there is a shock risk anywhere water meets electricity. We handle it with proper containment, disinfection, and safe disposal rather than a mop and bucket.
Yes. We keep crews on standby through the June-to-September monsoon season and answer the phone live all night. A severe storm can stretch arrival times because everyone is hit at once, but we dispatch the moment you call.
Right away. Mold can begin within 24 to 48 hours in Tempe’s heat, and dirty storm water only makes waiting riskier. Fast extraction and drying is what keeps a one-day storm from becoming a weeks-long repair.
Keep roof scuppers, gutters, and yard drains clear so a sudden downpour has somewhere to go, and know the low spots where water tends to enter — usually the garage door and exterior thresholds. Move valuables and stored boxes up off the garage and floor before the season. If water still gets in, we keep crews on standby June 15 through September 30 and answer live 24/7.
A monsoon cell can dump an inch of rain on Tempe in twenty minutes. Here is exactly what to do in the first hour when storm water gets into your home — step by step, in the order that matters.
Tempe’s monsoon runs from June 15 to September 30, and the worst storms give almost no warning. This guide covers how to ready your home, what to do mid-storm, and who to call.
When you call, a real person answers and a crew is dispatched immediately — with a 60-minute response target across South Tempe, Ahwatukee and Chandler.
