The tree roots under your property can be a treasure trove of hidden dangers, if not properly maintained. Tree roots are constantly growing and expanding, pushing through underground pipes and structures to feed their growth. This can lead to a range of problems, including: • Water damage: When roots grow through pipes or surfaces, they can cause costly water damage. • Structural damage: Roots can weaken or break nearby structural elements, such as sidewalks or foundations. • Fire hazards: Dry leaves and branches from fallen trees can ignite fires in combustible materials like woodpiles or dry brush. • Safety risks: Falling branches or debris can be deadly, especially for those working or walking near tree trunks. Experts recommend regular inspection of your property to identify any potential root issues. Regular maintenance can help prevent damage and costly repairs down the line. Some signs that you have trees growing too close to your property include: • Cracks in sidewalks or patios • Warped or uneven pavement • Gnarled or twisted tree branches To protect your property, consider hiring a professional like Fix-it Right Plumbing for regular root maintenance and repairs.
