It is interesting to watch people in cities all over the country remove tree falls, and it seems to make them look "sensitive" to environmental issues. But, there are real issues here. If every town had to do this, we would end up with millions of trees that could not be used and we would have an even bigger problem with dying trees. This is why I am writing this article. So, who removes fallen trees, and why?
First of all, why are homeowners insurance companies lowering their standards for falling trees? The truth is that when a tree falls it causes property damage, but also cause personal injury or worse. It can cause death, injuries, and so on. And if a few more homes had insurance policyholders who were willing to adjust their policies based upon how damaged the trees were, we would have fewer tree falls.
So, what happens when a tree falls? When a tree is fallen, a tree removal company comes out and removes the stump and other matter that is around the tree. This may mean clearing a path for other local citizens to get to the location of the tree fall. This is important because it may prevent people from stepping on the dead tree or hurting themselves due to being pulled down by the stump.
One of the things that I recommend as a way of helping reduce the number of trees that are felled, is to have a home owner's insurance policy adjusted higher. Why would this help? Well, it means that if a tree falls on your house, your neighbors insurance policy will pay for at least some of the cost of repair or replacement. If you have a smaller home insurance policy, it will probably only cover the cost of the roof.
