Keeping trees away from power lines to reduce danger risk

1/22/2018

0 Comments

 
If you saw a tree on your property touching power lines what would you do? Some property owners don’t think much of it since many trees touch power lines all the time.  Unfortunately, this is a huge disaster waiting to happen.  You’ve heard stories about strong winds toppling trees over taking down power lines with them. A cheap tree cutting service in Menifee can help you avoid experiencing such disasters by cutting trees away from power lines. The following details offer insight on what you can do to prevent such risks and learn what to do if you have to deal with the issue.

Trees Pose Danger to Power Lines

Electricity is a valuable utility we take advantage of daily. We use it in every aspect of our lives with many not realizing how much we rely on its use.  When a tree comes down, and power lines fall with it, it poses a serious risk. Homes may lose power, but the power lines may still be alive with electricity. A downed tree could have power lines running through it.  If you touch the downed line, getting electrocuted may result leading to injury or death. The good news is you can prevent this from happening by inspecting trees on your property to look for branches touching power lines and getting them removed promptly by a cheap tree cutting service in Menifee.

Understanding the significance of tree maintenance is crucial. It involves a few simple tips that can prevent a catastrophe and save money. A cheap tree cutting service in Menifee can provide professional trimming and pruning services for your tree.  Be aware of where power lines exist near trees on your property.  If you plant a tree consider the location and how tall it may grow.  Trees near power lines should be trimmed and pruned regularly.  Look into insurance and check the policy to see what it covers regarding property damage caused by downed trees or power lines. It doesn’t hurt to double check and see what coverage you have before costs incur.

What If a Tree is Touching Power Lines?

A standing tree with branches that have grown toward power lines can get limbs trimmed.  A cheap tree cutting service in Menifee can assess the tree and begin the process of trimming.  If the tree is touch power lines that came down as result of a storm or heavy winds, contact your local utility company. It is possible the lines may still be alive with electricity, and the situation needs investigating by the power company.  

Taking care trees by keeping branches and limbs trimmed can save lives.  Many trees grow by power lines, and people may not be aware of the dangers.  A tree can take down power lines without a storm or heavy winds being a factor. If a tree is very old, diseased, or dead, it can fall over unexpectedly.
