Importance of Preventive Wall Maintenance

Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are only some of the many maintenance services property owners call tree contractors for. Many don’t realize that there’s one other procedure that’s very important when it comes to ensuring that a tree will remain safe and non-hazardous. Preventive wall maintenance is just as important as these other procedures especially when you have trees planted right beside the structure of your home or another building and other walls or fences that surround your property.

Preventive wall maintenance is the process of grinding underneath the soil at about half a foot deep to cut down roots that begin to overgrow. Some roots can get extremely long and large over the years. Without proper maintenance, they can damage walls and home structures. In fact, we’ve seen some walls cracking to the point of almost falling apart when roots have pushed them hard enough. This happens gradually and won’t be too evident. This is the reason why preventive wall maintenance should be done every few years or depending on how rapid a tree grows.

Walls and other building structures getting destroyed by trees can cause very costly repairs. Preventive wall maintenance, as its name suggests, prevents the possible expensive costs of repairs, not to mention the stress and hassle of having to go through all this trouble.

Check the trees that you have on your property. If you believe that one could be located dangerously close to walls and building structures such as your house, it’s time to call your trusted tree contractor.
