Check Roof and Gutter Condition Before June
Phoenix's monsoon season typically runs June through September, and roof leaks that would otherwise sit dormant during the dry months become active problems the moment heavy rain hits. Clear gutters and check for damaged flashing before storm season starts, not after the first storm reveals the problem.

Confirm Your Grading Directs Water Away
Walk your property after a light rain and note where water pools near the foundation. If it's collecting rather than draining away, addressing grading or adding drainage extensions before monsoon season is far cheaper than post-flood extraction. If you want to go deeper on this, our guide on HOA & Multi-Unit Building Flood Extraction: Coordinating Access in Phoenix Condos covers it well. We also break this down further in Weekend & Holiday Flood Extraction: Is 24/7 Service Really Available in Phoenix?.
Know Your Main Shut-Off Location
This matters for both interior pipe failures and, in some cases, for isolating exterior irrigation lines that can contribute to foundation water intrusion during heavy storms. Every household member should know where it is before an emergency, not during one. For background from an independent source, see the National Weather Service Phoenix office. FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program has useful guidance on this if you want to read further.
Have a Restoration Company's Number Ready
Save an emergency water damage contact before storm season rather than searching during an active flood — the minutes spent finding a company to call are minutes water continues spreading. You can also review the Red Cross flood safety guidance for an outside perspective on this.
