Spotting problem trees.

Your yard might look peaceful — but your trees could be quietly damaging your roof, walls or foundation. Most homeowners don’t notice the warning signs until it’s too late.

Why it matters

Most tree damage is preventable.

In The Bahamas, storms, moisture and termites create the perfect conditions for tree damage. A single fallen tree can cause thousands in repairs — but most of it can be prevented with the right knowledge.

Use this guide to:

  • Spot the danger signs early
  • Know when to call a professional
  • Keep your home safe and hurricane-ready

The checklist

Four warning signs to look for.

  1. Large termite mound built against a tree in a Bahamas yard01

    Termite infestation

    Learn to spot termite activity in trees early — before it spreads to your home.

  2. Large tree growing close to a wall and driveway02

    Root damage

    Roots that crack walls, driveways and foundations are a sign a tree needs attention.

  3. Tree trunk damaged and hollowed by termites03

    Algae & moss on roofs

    Shade and debris from overhanging trees encourage algae and moss that can damage your roof.

  4. Crew trimming large overhanging limbs04

    Overhanging limbs

    Branches over your roof, car or power lines become serious hazards in storms.
