Buckets, tarps over furniture, move electronics. Take photos of where the water entered — that's evidence.

Interior + exterior, debris in the yard, any visible roof damage from the ground. Note date + time on each photo.

Don't go on the roof
Wet tile + asphalt is the leading cause of homeowner roof injuries. Leave the climb to licensed crew with proper PPE.
What monsoon storms typically damage
Wind-lifted shingles + tiles
60+ mph monsoon gusts lift the leading edge of asphalt shingles + crack concrete tiles at the ridge. Often invisible from the ground but the most common claim category.
Hail bruising
Phoenix-area hail (pea to golf-ball) bruises asphalt mat under the granules. Damage often isn't visible without trained inspection but accelerates failure of the affected section.
Debris impact
Branches, palm fronds, and yard debris carried by monsoon gusts punch through tile + crack ridge mortar. Easy to spot from the ground after the storm passes.
Flashing + seal failure
Around skylights, vent pipes, and parapet walls — the rubber + sealant deteriorates over years of 110°F summers, and monsoon rain finds it first.
Drainage + ponding
Clogged scuppers + flat-roof drains turn a fixable leak into structural damage. Clearing debris from drains is the single highest-ROI monsoon-prep step.
Tile underlayment exposure
When a few tiles slip, the felt underlayment that handles actual waterproofing gets UV-exposed + degrades fast. Catching this within days vs months changes the repair scope.
