YOUR AVERAGE FOAM ROOF — foam for insulation and slope, a thin top coat for the sun. The coat (peeled back here) is the part that wears out, and the part that is cheap to renew.

2026-10-30 → 11-01Halloween-weekend rain. NWS forecast ½–¾ in Friday, 1–2 in Sunday across the metro with a flood watch; Sky Harbor had seen only 3.20 in all year (45% below normal) going in. Measured so far (Sunday afternoon, rain still falling): Scottsdale FCD gauge 4.25 in by 8 AM Sunday (nearly 3 in of it on Friday), Wittmann 3.43, Cave Creek 2.83, Apache Junction 2.09; Sky Harbor only ≈0.4 in through Saturday under the lighter central band, with Sunday's 1–2 in still falling. Six rescued from flooded streets in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Shea Blvd closed for downed lines, 5,000+ outages, hail in Cave Creek and Anthem. Official totals to follow. Check scuppers and ponding at the 48-hour mark — storm review.
2026-10-20 → 22Supercell outbreak — hail 1–2 in (Chandler, Mesa, Central Phoenix, Glendale), winds over 60 mph, 158 severe-thunderstorm warnings statewide, Arizona's first Tornado Watch since 2010 (NWS). Hail that size bruises a chalked coating and splits old blisters — what to check.

After any event above: look for ponding past 48 hours, new blisters, and drips at scuppers. Read the October 2026 storm review or get an emergency leak repair.

The first hour

Catch the water and move what's under it. Poke a small hole in a bulging ceiling with a screwdriver over a bucket — it drains the pocket and prevents a collapse.
Photograph everything — ceiling, walls, and the roof from the ladder if the storm has passed. Insurance and the roofer both need it.
Don't tarp with fasteners. Screws and nails through a foam roof create the next leak. If you must cover, weight a tarp with sandbags.
Note where water is standing on the roof. Ponding at a scupper is a 10-minute clear; ponding mid-roof is a low spot the repair must address.
Call. Describe what you see; a tarp-vs-patch decision can be made on the phone.

Tarp or patch?

Patch today

Single pinhole or bird hole, blister split, seam at a parapet, coating intact elsewhere. Elastomeric patch and a spot coat holds through the season.

Dry-in, then schedule

Saturated foam over a wide area, multiple leaks, or heavy chalking everywhere. A temporary dry-in now, then a cut-out and recoat once the roof is dry — coating a wet roof traps the water.

Phoenix storm log — 2026

Updated after each significant event (NWS Phoenix). The monsoon season runs June 15 – September 30; the off-season cut-off lows below are why a foam roof is checked after October rain too. Sky Harbor's wettest monsoon on record was 9.56 in (1984); the driest was 0.15 in (2023). Full write-ups on the storm watch page.

Why foam roofs leak in monsoon specifically

Outflow winds ahead of a storm drive rain horizontally and lift coating edges at parapets; haboob dust fills scuppers so the next rain ponds; hail bruises a chalked coat. None of it is unusual, and none of it is a reason to replace the roof. The monsoon leak guide →

Questions people ask

Is there a 24-hour foam roof repair service in Phoenix?

Most foam roofers run extended hours in storm weeks rather than true 24-hour dispatch. Our partner extends to 7am–8pm during monsoon and answers within four rings; night calls go to voicemail and are returned first thing.

Will insurance cover a monsoon foam roof leak?

Sudden storm damage (wind, hail) is typically covered; wear — a chalked coating that was overdue — typically is not. Photos before and after, and the roofer's written cause-of-leak, decide it.

Can you coat a wet foam roof?

No. Coating over saturated foam seals the water in. The roof must be dried (or the wet foam cut out) first — which is why a dry-in and a scheduled repair is sometimes the honest answer.
