What storms do
The National Weather Service warned of quarter size hail and 60 mph wind gusts across Mesa and East Mesa on the night of October 20. Hail damage to tile and shingle roofs is often not visible from the ground. Photos shown are examples, not images from this storm.
What to check after hail
- Look for broken or displaced tiles, missing shingles, and debris from ground level.
- Check ceilings and walls for new water stains or damp spots.
- Look for dents on gutters, downspouts, and metal vents that may indicate hail impact.
- Stay off the roof. Have a licensed roofing professional assess areas you cannot safely see.
What to document
- Photograph visible damage from a safe location, including the whole area and detailed close views.
- Record when you first noticed damage, leaks, or water stains.
- Keep storm notices, previous roof records, and receipts for any emergency protection.
- Save your inspection report and share documentation with your insurance company if you choose to report a claim.
Why hidden damage matters
Hail can affect materials beneath tiles and damage shingles without leaving obvious signs from the ground. A licensed roofing professional can check for damage and document findings before a later leak makes the problem easier to see.
