Yard trees offer stylish landscaping, a tranquil view, and comfortable shade. However, overgrown trees, fallen branches, and protruding roots can become hazardous, especially true when branches start hanging over your house. If your tree’s branches are stretching too far, consider the following risks and call a tree services company for branch removal.

3 Risks of Overhanging Branches

1. Roof Damage

As branches grow over your roof, they might not cause any initial damage. However, these branches can scrape shingles, scratch the roof surface, eventually the branches could tear shingles off. Tree service professionals remove problematic branches while protecting the rest of the tree.

2. Mold Growth

Hanging branches drop leaves onto the roof and into the gutters. As these leaves sit, they’ll collect moisture and cause mold growth. Leaves are tricky to remove, especially when they build up, and mold can cause damage and health risks. Hire a tree service company to remove the branches and keep the roof and gutters clear of debris and mold.

3. Structural Damage

While these branches tear off shingles and create scratches, high winds can make damage even worse. Storms cause branches to fall off the tree and onto your house. In severe cases, heavy branches puncture or fall through the roof. Diseased and rotten branches have a high risk of being pulled off because they’re weaker and less sturdy. Protect your family by calling tree services as soon as possible.
