Trim your trees now or lose homeowners insurance coverage
by Bill Anderson | Aug 29, 2024 | Flood-wind, Gardening, Home maintenance, Insurance, Landscaping | 0
Overgrown or hazardous trees can put your home—and your insurance coverage—at risk. Many homeowners don’t realize that failing to maintain trees and remove dead or overhanging branches can lead to denied claims or even policy cancellations. Insurance companies are cracking down on properties with trees that pose a risk to structures, power lines, or neighbors. If an insurer deems your trees a liability, they may require immediate trimming or removal to keep your policy active. Don’t wait for a storm or an inspection notice—take action now to protect your home, your coverage, and your wallet.
