When Monsoon Flooding Hits Home, Every Minute Matters
In Arizona, flooding doesn’t just mean a puddle—it means ruined floors, soaked drywall, and the looming threat of mold. If your house is flooding right now, you need to act fast. You need to know exactly who to call for water damage—before things get worse.
At Slate Restoration, we specialize in fast-response flood cleanup across Gilbert, Mesa, and Maricopa County. Whether it’s 2 a.m. or the middle of a summer storm, we’re ready to roll.
First Things First: Who Should You Call After a Flood?
Here’s your emergency checklist, in the order we recommend:
- 911 – Only if there’s immediate danger to life or a major structural collapse.
- Power/Gas Company – If water is near electrical panels or appliances, shut it off if you can. If not, call your utility provider.
- Insurance Company – Start your claim early. Take photos and videos before cleanup starts.
- Slate Restoration – We show up fast with the gear and crew to get the water out, dry everything, and start the recovery process.
What Emergency Flood Cleanup Actually Looks Like
A lot of people don’t realize how much damage even a few inches of water can cause. Here’s what we do on a typical emergency call:
✔️ Water Removal
We use powerful extractors to remove standing water from carpets, tile, wood floors, even inside walls.
✔️ Drying & Dehumidifying
Using industrial air movers and dehumidifiers, we dry everything to stop mold in its tracks.
✔️ Disinfection & Sanitizing
Floodwater isn’t clean. We treat every affected surface with antimicrobial solutions to kill bacteria and mildew.
✔️ Repairs & Rebuild
Drywall. Cabinets. Flooring. We’ll work directly with your insurance and handle the restoration start to finish.
Real Flood Cleanup Example: Chandler, AZ
During a monsoon storm last August, a home in Chandler took on water when their side gate drainage failed. Water entered through the garage and laundry room, soaking the walls and baseboards.
