Storm Damage Repair in Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix's storm damage profile is dominated by two phenomena unique to desert climates: haboobs (massive dust storms) and monsoon microbursts. Haboobs — walls of blowing sand and dust that can reach 5,000 feet high and extend for 100 miles — sweep through the Valley multiple times during monsoon season, sandblasting stucco, clogging HVAC coils and filters, and forcing abrasive grit through every gap around windows and doors. The July 2011 Phoenix haboob — perhaps the most photographed in American history — was over a mile high and caused widespread HVAC and exterior damage across the metro. Monsoon microbursts deliver straight-line winds of 60–80+ mph in localized cells, toppling Saguaro cacti and African Sumacs onto rooftops in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, destroying pool enclosures, and stripping clay roof tiles that are not properly mortared. Hail accompanies approximately 15% of Phoenix's monsoon thunderstorms and is particularly damaging to stucco exteriors and tile roofing.
