Trees can potentially cause damage to buildings, both directly and indirectly.
Direct harm situations, where crown canopies can damage roof tiles and gutters, can cause concern to home owners and are easier to spot.
Indirect damageĀ is more difficult to assess as it involves a variety of interplay between soils, roots of trees, depth of foundations and changes to the environment around both the property and the trees. Such words as heave and subsidence cause a householder enormous worry as they link such problems to their property being de-valued.
