The Dangers of Trees
While storms and excessive amounts of snow may be the first things you think of when you think of roof damage, it’s often trees that are the leading cause of damage. Some may brush against it with branches that hang on their roof, causing damage to happen and accelerating the degradation process. Also, during storms weak or dead branches have a tendency to break off and fall through the roof, puncturing the roof or damaging the structure. These are dangers to watch out for, in order to keep the integrity of your roof and the trees themselves looking beautiful.
Avoiding Tree Roof Damage
Routine tree branch removal is the first line of defense against tree roof damage. While we would like branches to be ten feet from the roof, in brutal weather, they should be at least ten to fifteen feet away from roof to prevent them from hitting the structure or scratching the surface. It is also important to keep an eye on your trees’ health. Trees that are healthy will not crack and do damage. Unless you have a tree arborist on speed dial, you should have a tree arborist view if you are not sure if a tree is healthy. Trees should be regularly inspected for illness or decay.
