Why do trees matter for water damage?
Mature trees can drop debris into gutters, drop limbs on roofs, and send roots into old sewer laterals. Roots in a sewer line can cause backups in older properties. If a line backs up, treat it as a contamination event. For roof leaks after a storm, document damage before tarps or repairs and call your insurer.
