Gilbert’s Storm Landscape

Phoenix is home to some of the most intense short-duration storms in the continental United States. Gilbert and the East Valley specifically experience several types of severe weather that cause serious property damage:

• Monsoon season (June through September): The North American monsoon brings intense thunderstorm activity to the Phoenix area during summer months. Rainfall can exceed one inch in under 30 minutes, overwhelming Gilbert’s stormwater drainage systems. The baked desert soil sheds rather than absorbs water, causing rapid surface flooding against structures.
• Haboobs: Arizona dust storms can carry walls of debris 5,000 feet high and travel at 50 miles per hour or more. Haboobs damage roof tiles, compromise sealants and caulking around windows and door frames, and leave fine particulate matter inside homes through every gap in the envelope.
• Wind events: Standalone high wind events, separate from monsoon activity, occur throughout the year. Wind speeds exceeding 60 miles per hour are not uncommon during storm cells, and they dislodge roof tiles, fascia board, and solar panel components on Gilbert’s newer stucco homes.
• Hail: While less frequent than in parts of the country with different climate patterns, hail does accompany severe monsoon cells in the East Valley and can crack roof tiles, puncture flat roof membranes, and damage HVAC condenser units mounted on exterior pads or rooftops.

What to Do Immediately After Storm Damage

The steps you take in the first hour after storm damage significantly affect both the final restoration cost and your insurance claim. Here is what to do:

1. Document before cleanup: Photograph and video every affected area before touching anything. Do not move debris that may be part of a covered claim without documenting it first.
2. Protect the opening: If your roof has a breach or a window is broken, cover it with heavy plastic or a tarp to prevent additional water intrusion. Do not wait for a contractor. The coverage you add now is reimbursable under your policy as a protective measure.
3. Turn off electricity to flooded areas: Standing water and live electrical circuits are a serious hazard. Turn off the breaker for any area where water entered.
4. Call your insurance company: Report the claim as soon as possible. Early reporting leads to faster adjuster assignment.
5. Call us: We respond 24/7 and can coordinate with your adjuster from day one. The faster water inside a storm-compromised structure is extracted and dried, the smaller the total damage.

Insurance Documentation for Storm Claims in Arizona

Arizona homeowners insurance covers wind and hail damage, and water intrusion that results directly from a covered storm event. The key distinction is origin: water that enters because wind cracked a roof tile is typically covered. Water that entered by rising up through a doorway from outside flooding usually requires a separate flood policy. We work with adjusters to document the exact cause and entry point of storm water, which protects your claim and ensures nothing is missed. Our flood cleanup team handles monsoon flooding events that fall under flood coverage.

We also address emergency water damage resulting from storm events around the clock. Call us any time.
