From June 15th to September 30th, Arizona’s monsoon season brings dramatic shifts in weather—including sudden downpours, intense lightning, high winds, dust storms, and flash floods. While these storms can be mesmerizing to watch, they’re far less charming when you’re hundreds or thousands of miles away from your seasonal home and unable to respond to damage.
If you leave your property unattended in Mesa or the surrounding areas during monsoon season, here’s what can go wrong:
1. Roof Leaks and Water Intrusion
Heavy rains and wind-driven water can exploit even the smallest weaknesses in your roof, windows, or doors. Left unnoticed, a leak can lead to mold, structural damage, and ruined interiors.
2. Wind and Debris Damage
Monsoon storms often produce wind gusts exceeding 60 mph. Patio furniture, yard debris, or even loose roof tiles can turn into dangerous projectiles. Trees and branches can fall, breaking windows or damaging rooftops.
3. Flash Flooding
Flash floods can occur with little warning, especially in low-lying neighborhoods. Water can seep into garages, basements, or crawl spaces, causing expensive damage if not dealt with quickly.
4. Power Outages and HVAC Failures
Storms often knock out power, which can lead to non-functioning air conditioning. In the brutal Arizona heat, this could mean warped flooring, food spoilage, or heat damage to valuables.
