Trim Overhanging Branches

Regularly inspect your trees for overhanging branches that brush against your roof and other trees. According to tree service providers and industry experts, tree limbs should be at least six feet from your house and surrounding structures. If you notice hazardous branches in your yard, hire a reputable tree company to assess your trees and devise a tailored maintenance plan that involves trimming and structural pruning to remove defective branches.

Monitor Tree Health

Healthy trees are less likely to be infested or infected. If you neglect tree health and maintenance, weak and severely damaged limbs can break during strong winds and heavy rains. Check your trees for signs of deterioration and monitor for root zone issues to prevent instability, leaning, and ultimately falling. If you notice a precarious tree in your backyard, act quickly to prevent devastating scenarios. A trusted tree service provider can pinpoint underlying issues, assess the severity of the damage, and recommend the best solution.

Anchor Your Trees

Before the storm season, schedule an inspection with a reputable arborist to determine if your trees can withstand adverse weather. In the case of structural or stability issues, the arborist will recommend anchorage solutions like stakes and ropes to prevent leaning or complete tree removal. Additionally, planting trees in groups can enhance stability by ensuring they hold each other up.

How to Protect Your Roof

Now that you know how to protect your trees from adverse weather, here are the ways you can protect your roof and keep your home safe.

Evita Fikes

Sesmas did a terrific job for us on a project completed today involving the removal of 18 problem trees. Project was completed exactly as promised, skillfully and for a reasonable price. Mike Fowler was excellent in overseeing the work and his crew was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Kathryn Arvidson

These guys were on point. Verified the request before beginning (always good, because the trees aren't coming back!). Then made sure the trimming was done to exactly where I wanted it. On time, fast, and completely cleaned up after - was a great experience. Highly recommend!

Inspect and Clean Gutters

A well-maintained roof not only shields your living spaces from the elements but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of the property. Regular inspection and cleaning can remove accumulated debris and restore smooth flow, ensuring proper drainage away from the building’s foundation. Additionally, an inspection can help detect and fix hidden issues before they escalate. Professionals check all the boxes, addressing a wide range of issues, such as aging materials, loose shingles, or damaged sealants.

Seal Roof Penetrations

Another effective way to prepare your roof for the storm season is to seal any openings where water can permeate the roof, such as around vents, chimneys, and other penetrations. This not only prevents water damage but also maintains the roof’s integrity year-round. While sealing may seem straightforward, working with a reputable tree company can ensure a seamless process and long-lasting results.

Secure Loose Materials

Lastly, address any loose roof materials, such as shingles, to prevent them from dislodging in strong winds. A trusted roofing or tree service can handle the heavy lifting, giving you peace of mind knowing everything is handled professionally. Additionally, review your insurance policy to ensure it covers potential storm-related damage.
