Age adds to the risk. Half of the homes in Benbrook were built before 1983 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024). Older homes often have mixed repairs, flashing from different decades and attic ventilation that was never updated. A trained eye finds those weak points before water does.

Timing matters after a storm. Hail bruises are easiest to read while they are fresh, before sun and rain wear the edges down. Granules in the gutters and dents on vents also fade or wash away with time. An early look gives you the clearest record of what the storm did.
