Monsoon & Roof Leak Water Damage in San Tan Valley: what's different here
San Tan Valley's subdivisions are mostly tile roofs built in the 2000s. The tile sheds water, but the underlayment beneath it does the real waterproofing, and after 20 years of Arizona sun that underlayment is often brittle. Haboob winds shift tiles, and the heavy rain that follows reaches the deck.
Leaks often show up first as a ceiling stain in an upstairs bedroom or around a skylight, sometimes far from where the water entered. Water can also collect in attic insulation for weeks before staining the ceiling.
After a storm, a tarp over displaced tiles limits further damage until a roofer can re-lay the tile or replace the underlayment.

Monsoon & Roof Leak Water Damage questions from San Tan Valley homeowners
Is a leak from old roof underlayment covered by insurance?
Damage from a sudden storm is usually covered; wear and tear on aging underlayment usually isn't. A roofer's report on the cause helps the claim.
Can wet attic insulation be dried?
Blown-in insulation that's soaked usually compacts and is replaced. The ceiling drywall and framing are dried and checked.
