What this video shows
What this shows: Hail across the DFW metro and why the damage is often not obvious right away, plus why early documentation matters. It stays because it speaks to homeowners in the first days after a storm.
Hail damage is frequently invisible from the ground and frequently invisible from the roof to an untrained eye, which is why the interval between the storm and the documentation matters more than most homeowners expect. Nearly every Texas policy makes prompt notice of a loss a condition of coverage, and the deadlines that follow all run from the date of loss rather than from the date somebody noticed. A roof documented in the weeks after an event is therefore in a different position than the same roof documented a year later, after a second storm has passed over it and the question of which event did what no longer has a clean answer. Establishing what a specific storm did, in writing, on a date, is the part that gets harder every month it is delayed.
