Hard ground, heavy rain
Thunderstorms drop heavy rain on desert ground that sheds it fast, so runoff collects in streets, washes and low lots within a single storm.
Wind before the rain
Monsoon storms often arrive with blowing dust and strong gusts, then drive rain sideways into door sweeps, slider tracks and window frames.
A river town
The town grew up beside the Gila River, which overflowed after a storm in the 1900s and wiped out most of Adamsville just to the west.

(888) 949-8496 Report monsoon water insideWhat should be done before a monsoon storm arrives?
Replace worn door sweeps, clear slider tracks, scuppers and drains, move valuables off garage floors, know where the main water valve and the breaker panel are, and photograph each room for the record.
Is monsoon flooding covered by homeowners insurance?
Surface water from outside is usually treated as flood, which most homeowners policies exclude and a separate flood policy covers. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
Why does runoff reach the garage first?
The garage slab usually sits lower than the house, and the garage door seal is the weakest barrier, so runoff that follows the grade often lands there first.
When does monsoon runoff count as Category 3?
Floodwater that crossed the ground outside carries soil, sewage and chemicals, so it is handled as Category 3 from the start, with porous materials it touched removed.
Can a rooftop evaporative cooler leak in a storm?
Yes. Wind-driven rain and a failed pan or float valve can send water through the roof penetration into the ceiling below.
