24/7 Emergency Service
When a microburst puts storm water in your home, we pump out and dry fast — 24/7 monsoon emergency response across Tempe and the East Valley.
Tempe's monsoon does not build slowly. A microburst forms, drops a wall of rain and 60-mph winds in twenty minutes, and quiet streets turn into moving water before you can move the car. The desert soil sheds it instead of soaking it in, so the runoff races to the low spots — and if your home is one of them, it comes in under the door, through the garage, or off a wind-driven roof.
Storm flooding is a different emergency than a clean pipe leak, and it is worse in two ways. First, the water is not clean — it crosses streets, yards, and whatever else on the way in, so it has to be handled as contaminated water, pumped out and sanitized, not just dried. Second, it arrives at the worst times: during June 15 to September 30, often at night, all across the Valley at once. You need a crew already staffed for it.
We run a 24/7 storm line at (866) 688-0301 with high-volume pumps ready through the whole season. We get the water out, sanitize what it touched, and dry your home to the core. For the broader storm-damage picture see our flood cleanup service, and when you need water gone this minute, our emergency water removal crews roll straight to you.
Storm floods bring electrical and structural hazards. Before anyone wades in, we check for live current and unstable materials, and we treat the water as contaminated from the first minute.
We move standing storm water fast with truck-mounted and submersible pumps. During monsoon season we stage equipment ahead of the storms so we are not scrambling for it when the calls come in.
We clear the mud, silt, and debris the storm dragged in, then remove saturated carpet, pad, drywall, and insulation that contaminated water made unsalvageable.
Because storm runoff is contaminated, we clean and disinfect everything it touched with antimicrobial treatment. This step is not optional after a flood — skipping it invites bacteria and mold.
We dry the structure with commercial equipment and take daily moisture readings so the water the storm drove into your walls and floors does not resurface as mold two weeks later.
Monsoon storms here are violent and local. A microburst is a column of air that slams down and fans out, producing brief, intense rain and straight-line winds that drive water sideways into places rain never normally reaches — up under eaves, through window tracks, past garage-door seals. A haboob rolls a wall of dust ahead of the storm, then the rain hits ground so dry and sun-baked it cannot absorb it. The water sheets off to the lowest point, and neighborhoods near the Salt River channel, along the I-10 Broadway Curve, and on the old flood-irrigation grid see intrusion the rest of the year never hints at.
This is where monsoon victims get blindsided. A standard homeowners policy typically **excludes flood damage** — and surface flooding from a monsoon storm is exactly that, which usually requires separate flood insurance to cover. Water from an inside source, like a burst pipe, is a different category and is often covered. The distinction is the source of the water, not how much damage it did. We document the source and the loss carefully so your claim is classified correctly, and we will tell you straight which bucket your situation likely falls in. The **September 8, 2014** storm — 100-year-plus rainfall that put Maricopa County under a state of emergency — flooded thousands of homes whose owners assumed they were covered and learned otherwise.
Every loss is different, so we give you an itemized estimate before work begins — never a number pulled from the air. These are the factors that move the price:
Officially June 15 through September 30. That is the window for microbursts, haboobs, and flash flooding, and it is when we staff and stage for storm response. Flooding can spike within minutes of a cell forming, so we keep a 24/7 line and high-volume pumps ready through the whole season.
Usually not on its own. Standard homeowners policies typically exclude surface flooding from storms — the kind most monsoon damage is — which generally needs separate flood insurance. Water from an inside source like a burst pipe is often covered instead. We document the source so your loss is classified correctly and help you understand your coverage.
No. Storm runoff is treated as contaminated because of what it carries in, and there are electrical and structural hazards in a flooded space. It should be pumped, removed, and sanitized with proper protection and equipment, not mopped up by hand. Call us and stay out of standing water near any electrical source.
We aim for our usual 60-minute response, and during major storms we prioritize by severity and stage crews across the Valley so we can reach the hardest-hit homes quickly. Calling early gets you in the queue before the water sits and does more damage.
