February Rainstorms in Phoenix Can Bring Storm Damage

2/11/2020 (Permalink)

People flock to the Valley of the Sun in the winter because, for the most part, we’ve got some of the most beautiful weather in the country during the winter. However, for some reason, we always seem to have rain right around Valentine’s Day every year, and this year was no exception. Our February rainstorms can bring damage, so keep an eye out and know what to look for after major storms.

Steady rainfall can cause damage

Our winter storms don’t tend to have the intensity of our monsoons, but even steady rainfall like we’ve been experiencing this week can do damage over time. The problem is that most homeowners are on high alert during monsoons, checking their roofs, cutting back on landscape watering, and checking the usual places for leaks like windowsills and doors. Unfortunately, steady rains can cause damage too, though much more slowly. Or perhaps your home already had some undetected damage from storms earlier this year, and this week’s storm was the final straw; now your roof is leaking, or at least you finally noticed there’s a leak. So now what?

Work with professionals who know how to deal with storm damage

When you first notice storm damage to your home, it’s crucial to call in a professional as quickly as possible to assess the damage and put together a plan of action to repair and restore your Phoenix home. Even if the damage appears to be minor, it needs attention quickly and professionally. Storm damage response does not end with quick fixes for your property, however. We can offer full-scale reconstruction and repair where needed, and our other IICRC-certified technicians can address water damage and flooding that occurred inside. With our fully stocked production vehicles, our team arrives with a full array of effective extraction, drying, and mitigation equipment to make a difference quickly in an emergency.

Was the storm damage more substantial in your area?

Certain areas of the Valley really got nailed with our recent storm, including hail. Thunder, lightning, rain, and hail began moving through the Valley Monday evening and for some homes left behind damage. It wasn’t long before the phone began to ring! We’re dedicated to responding immediately to water and storm damage emergencies. A fast response lessens the damage, limits further damage, and reduces cost. We specialize in flooding and storm damage restoration, the cornerstone of our business. We have extensive water damage and storm restoration training that allows us to get your home back to normal quickly.
