Monsoon Season Is Coming
Is Your Roof Ready?

We've experienced a few “relatively” dry summers lately, but who can forget the summer of 2021? That year, Gilbert and the East Valley were hit with torrential downpours, causing significant damage across the region. According to ABC15 Arizona in Phoenix (KNXV), the 2021 monsoon season was one of the wettest on record in the Southwest, bringing damaging winds, heavy rain, and devastating floods. In fact, that summer saw 23 days of rainfall, an intense reminder of just how quickly the desert can change.
We may not be meteorologists but at Mighty Dog Roofing Southeast Valley Phoenix, we are preparers. Our goal is to help homeowners in the Southeast Valley get ahead of whatever this year’s storm season has in store for us.
Arizona’s monsoon season, which runs from June 15 through September 30, is powered by seasonal shifts that pull in moisture from the Gulf of California and Pacific Ocean. When that moisture collides with our extreme desert heat, the result is powerful winds, torrential rain, and thick dust storms.
Your roof is the first line of defense and it needs to be ready.
Here’s how to get your home monsoon-ready:
- Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection
Monsoon winds can take a tiny crack or loose shingle and turn it into a major repair overnight. Our free, no-obligation inspections identify vulnerabilities like cracked tiles, missing shingles, and poor drainage before they become serious problems. - Clean and Maintain Gutters and Downspouts
Gutters may not be top of mind for Arizona homeowners, but they’re essential during heavy rains. When monsoon downpours hit, your gutter system helps channel water away from your home’s foundation. If they’re clogged, or missing altogether, you’re inviting unnecessary damage. We not only inspect gutters, but we also install them too. It’s an easy upgrade that can save you a fortune in future repairs. - Trim Overhanging Trees
The gorgeous palo verdes and mesquites that make your yard feel like an oasis can turn dangerous during high winds. Keep branches pruned and away from your roof to avoid broken limbs and impact damage. - Inspect Attic Ventilation and Insulation
Monsoon season brings humidity. Without proper airflow in your attic, moisture can build up, reducing energy efficiency and contributing to long-term structural damage. - Secure Loose Roofing Materials
If you’ve spotted shifting tiles, now’s the time to call in the experts. Even a small gust can rip materials free and expose your roof to water intrusion. - Beware of Pigeon Damage
One of the most overlooked roofing threats? Pigeons. Their droppings are more than just a nuisance, they’re highly acidic and can deteriorate your underlayment, leading to hidden leaks and shortened roof lifespan. If you've noticed bird activity on your roof, it’s worth a closer look.
