When choosing trees for your yard, it is important to consider your pipes and what could potentially happen to them. You should consider choosing a tree that is slow growing and less likely to puncture your pipes.
Willows, Maple, Oak, Aspen, Birch, and Elm trees cause the most damage to underground plumbing pipes. However, trees that do not pose threats to your pipes are fruit trees, cypresses, cedars, palmettos, and magnolias.
It is important to get your trees and schedule pipe inspections often. Pipe Inspections can save your money before you incur thousands of dollars in damage from Mother Nature. If you are buying a home and wondering about tree types and placement, consider these lists before making big decisions.
