TEDMUS TIP:
Hi everyone, as most of you know already, we had a large
windstorm a couple of days ago that caused a lot of damage in the Bay Area. Many
people reported experiencing trees and debris fall on their property and neighbor’s
property. As winter will be arriving
soon, make sure to trim and remove any potential falling trees that may be a
falling or trip hazard(s). Proper maintenance and upkeep will make sure wind
and rain will be controlled and you and your home stay safe.
If you think a tree might be on its way ‘out’, it may be
best to remove the tree rather than having it fall down in a windstorm and then
having to pay to remove the tree and/or report the tree as a homeowners claim –
not to mention the liability.
Depending on the size of the tree, trimming and/or removing
a tree may cost a couple hundred dollars but in an accident you may go through
that yourself with your homeowners deductible – not to mention having a claim
on your record for three to five years.
Every scenario is a little different when it comes to claims
but always check in with your agent for recommendations on what best to do
here.
