East Mesa and Las Sendas have newer homes, many with flat or tile roofs and rooftop or attic AC units.

Fire & Smoke Damage questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Mesa?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Mesa Development Services department.
How do I prevent monsoon roof leaks in Mesa?
Have flat-roof coatings and tile underlayment checked before July, and clear roof drains and scuppers.
Can I clean soot myself?
Light dry soot in a small area sometimes can be, but wiping often smears it deeper. Larger areas, oily soot and anything involving odor are best left to professionals with the right cleaning methods.
Does homeowners insurance cover smoke damage from a wildfire?
Usually yes, even if the fire didn't reach your home. Document the damage, including ash and odor, and report it to your insurer quickly.
