| Here's a classic cover up problem. Some of
these trees have been here for years and never trimmed or maintained.
While doing your home inspections, you will have to do your best to look
behind large bushes and trees like these.
Sometimes the damage done by these trees can be quite extensive. If the
house is located in a high wind area, you could actually have a section
of the house exterior, worn from the tree rubbing against the house as
the wind blow the tree back and forth.
These trees also provide shade and if enough moisture is around this
section of the home, you could have termites or wood rot.
If you can't inspect behind or around these trees, make a note of this
in your home inspection report. These large bushes or trees might need
to be trimmed before you purchase the home, to complete your visual
house inspection.
All trees and bushes should be at least 4 to 6 inches away from the
home.
