It can be hard to decide to remove trees from your property, but sometimes it can't be avoided. Trees add many benefits, but due to their size, you don't want to keep them around when they pose a danger. Here are four signs you need to call a tree removal company.

1. Roof Issues

According to IBISWorld, the tree trimming industry has a $29 billion net worth. One of the reasons why tree trimming is such a valuable industry is the removal of unsafe branches. If you have a tree that has large branches scraping your roof, it can cause expensive damage that reduces curb appeal. Damage can also lead to leaks and can provide easy access for pests to get into the attic.

2. Fungus Growth

Certain fungus growth can be indicative of a sick tree. In some cases, the fungus may grow to the point where you can't save the tree. Before the tree becomes too weak, call a tree removal company. The dying tree will likely attract vermin that feed off its dying bark. If the sick tree is too close to others, it can spread the illness to other trees.

3. Deadwood Liability

If a tree has already died, it becomes even more of a liability. Certain pests are attracted to any dying matter, such as mosquitoes and rodents. Plus, a dead tree can easily fall over, especially during windy weather. It could fall at any time and hurt anyone or any structure nearby,

4. Foundation Concern

A large mature tree can be quite a sight on your property. However, those overgrown roots can be a detriment to your house foundation and your septic tank. If you notice overgrown roots creeping toward these structures, call a tree removal company before you start seeing cracks in your walls and floors. If it punctures the septic tank, you'll have an environmental issue and potential fines to pay.

Calling a tree removal company in a timely fashion can prevent your home and property from damage. A dying tree can fall on your home or someone nearby. Even if it doesn't fall, it can damage your home in other ways like foundation upheaval.
