What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from homeowners and businesses across the greater Phoenix area.
Phoenix Has a Long Flood Record
Phoenix gets little rain most of the year, then a lot of it at once. Forecasters at the NWS rank June 22, 1972 as the worst flash flood Phoenix has had. Between three and five inches came down across the northern part of the metro that day, putting water into hundreds of homes. On September 8, 2014, Sky Harbor recorded 3.30 inches in about 7 hours, the wettest calendar day since records began in 1895. Interstate 10 was impassable at 43rd Avenue and U.S. 60 underpasses filled with water.
The pattern has not stopped. On September 26, 2025, Sky Harbor measured 1.64 inches, the most rain in a single Phoenix day since 2018, and the NWS reported 1.00 to 2.50 inches across the area with numerous water rescues. News reports from that day showed an SUV in about 3 feet of water on the ramp from southbound I-17 to westbound I-10 at the Split, and flooding at 13th Street and Hatcher north of Dunlap Avenue.
Storms like these are why flood damage restoration in Phoenix is its own kind of job. Water arrives from outside, it carries whatever it crossed on the way, and it often reaches several rooms through the lowest door or wall.
How Flood Water Gets Into Phoenix Buildings
Outside water takes a handful of routes. The route tells us where to look for wet materials beyond the obvious puddle.
Street and Yard Runoff
Heavy monsoon cells overwhelm gutters and curbs fast. Water follows the grade toward garages, patio slabs and low thresholds, then spreads under baseboards inside.
Canal and Wash Corridors
The Arizona Canal Diversion Channel was proposed after the swollen Arizona Canal broke its banks and flooded homes in Arcadia. Completed in 1994, it now diverts street stormwater from about 14 miles along the canal to New River near Peoria.
Flood Irrigation That Overtops a Berm
SRP says many Phoenix farm areas urbanized between the 1920s and 1970s while keeping flood irrigation. Past the SRP gate, neighborhood systems are private, so a low berm or a stuck yard valve can send water toward the house.
Wind-Driven Rain at Roofs and Windows
Flat and low-slope roofs hold water during a storm, and strong wind pushes rain past window seals. Inside, the first sign is usually a brown ring overhead.

Flood Cleanup in Phoenix Starts With the Water Category
Floodwater that crossed a yard, a street or a parking lot is not clean water. It can carry soil, fertilizer, oil, animal waste and whatever was in the storm drain. Restoration standards treat it as contaminated, and that changes what can be saved.
For flood cleanup in Phoenix, that usually means porous materials the water touched come out: carpet and pad, the lower part of drywall, wet insulation and particleboard cabinet bases. Hard surfaces such as tile, concrete and framing are cleaned and dried. We explain each removal before it happens and photograph what goes.
Usually Removed After Outside Flooding
- Carpet and carpet pad
- Drywall to a measured line above the water mark
- Wet insulation in exterior walls
- Swollen particleboard and laminate
- Mud, silt and storm debris
Flood Restoration in Phoenix, Step by Step
The order matters. Skipping ahead to drying while mud is still on the floor only bakes the problem in.
- Step 1
Safety Walk
We check for live power in wet areas, damaged ceilings and slippery mud before anyone works in the space.
- Step 2
Flood Water Removal
Pumps and extractors take the standing water out first. Our water extraction page covers that phase in detail.
- Step 3
Mud and Material Removal
We shovel and scrape out silt and debris, then remove the porous materials the floodwater reached.
- Step 4
Clean the Structure
Floors, framing and the remaining wall surfaces are cleaned so contamination is not sealed into the building.
- Step 5
Dry and Verify
Drying equipment keeps running until moisture readings reach their goals, with each reading logged.
- Step 6
Document the Loss
Photos, readings and a written scope go into a file you can share with your adjuster if you choose.
Storm Damage Restoration in Phoenix Across the Valley Floor
In May 2020 the county Flood Control District wrapped up an update of the Metro Phoenix Area Drainage Master Plan. It studied about 100 square miles bounded by the Arizona Canal Diversion Channel, I-17, the Salt River and the Papago Buttes to find flooding problems and hazards. That is a large share of central Phoenix, from older neighborhoods north of downtown to the business areas around Sky Harbor.
The District also looked at a two-mile reach of Echo Canyon Wash that crosses into Phoenix, with proposed map revisions going to FEMA in November 2022. We are not a flood mapping service, but we do know that storm damage restoration in Phoenix often means water came from more than one direction at once: down a slope, through a roof and in at a door.
Once the water is out, drying the slab and walls is the longest part of the job. Our mitigation page explains how we measure it.

After Monsoon Damage in Phoenix: A Short List
Once the storm passes and it is safe to go back in:
- Stay out of standing water near outlets or appliances
- Photograph the water line on walls and furniture
- Keep children and pets out of flooded rooms
- Wear gloves and boots if you must handle wet items
- Do not run fans that blow muddy water around
- Save receipts for anything you buy to protect the property
- Call your insurance carrier to report the loss
Monsoon damage in Phoenix rarely stays in one room, so a full walkthrough with meters comes next.
One Call for the Whole Phoenix Flood Job
We handle the extraction, the removal of contaminated materials, the cleaning and the drying, and we keep one record of all of it. If the storm also opened up the roof or a window, a roofer or glazier handles that part, and we schedule around them so the drying keeps moving. For the full range of water work in the city, see our Phoenix water damage page.
