It’s hard to imagine that a thing of beauty such as the trees in your garden can pose any safety risks. However, when tree branches are hanging over your roofline, your property and personal safety become threatened. The most probable explanation is that you have allowed your trees to overgrow, and now you have to fix the problem before serious damage occurs. Here are some reasons why overhangingbranches can be very hazardous to you, your roof, and also your home:
1. On windy days, the surface of your roof can be
scraped and damaged by the branches of your trees. Needless to say, the costs
of fixing a damaged roof will not be cheap.
2. When the leaves of a trees’ branches fall onto your roof and roof gutter, there will be a lot of damages that follow, including leaks. Moreover, mold can manifest on the roof as well.
3. Overhanging branches that are scratching and littering on your roof are bad enough, but things can get worse when the limbs of your trees are weak, damaged, or infected as well. Such branches are weak and cannot endure heavy winds or storms, which often means that the limbs will fall onto your roof and result in a considerable amount of damage. Dealing with the aftermath of such an impact will surely cost you quite a substantial amount.
In the case that it is your neighbor’s tree that is hanging over your roof, things need to be handled differently. Make sure that you talk with your neighbor about to issue and politely ask them to take care of it. If your neighbor refuses to take responsibility, make it clear that you have the right to trim the branches that extend to your property. However, you should know that if anything goes wrong or damage is caused during the cutting process, you will be the one who is responsible.
