Your Homeowner Insurance Company Does Not Want the Tree on Your House

Having trees that are close to or touching your home can significantly increase the risk of damage to your home. It is important to keep adequate clearance around your home from any types of trees or brush. This will dramatically decrease the threat of a loss to your home. Whether from a fire or from damages causes directly from trees and shrubbery too close to your home, the likelihood of a loss is significantly higher than other homes when you do not have adequate clearance. Trees that are directly above you home can cause damage to the roof, especially if they are touching the roof. They can either damage the roofing material itself by rubbing on it as the wind blows or damage the roof if limbs were to break. If you have shrubbery that is touching your home, you run the risk of rot, water damage, and mold. If you live in an area that is higher than average risk of wildfire, it is especially important for you to keep a large clearance around your home in order to protect yourself from wildfire. The majority of homes that are damaged in wildfires are homes that have less than 1000 ft brush clearance. Your home is most likely going to be the largest investment that you make in your life.
