List Of Exterior Home Hazards That You Should Be Avoiding At All Costs

Most homeowners don’t think much about the exterior of their homes and thereby neglect the hazards that can cause damage to the home exteriors. More often than not, homeowners are left with costly repairs and damages, thereby disrupting their peace of mind. 

Such is the reason why we are taking the sole initiative to mention to you some of the most common hazards that can easily damage your home from the exterior, especially if the hazards go overlooked. 

List Of Exterior Home Hazards To Be Wary Of

• Bush & Tree Branches

Almost nine out of ten times, bush and tree growth goes unnoticed for homeowners and they slowly start to spread alongside your house. Over an extended period (few years), a tree or bush that used to be at the middle of your backyard or garden will most likely be approaching your home roof and exteriors. 

Therefore, it’s always essential to keep an eye out for such outgrowths because if you don’t control the growth of your trees & bushes, they’ll devour the entire exterior of your home. Moreover, house painters in Auckland report that you need to be mindful regarding the proximity at which you plant your future plants and trees because when they’ll grow into bigger structures, their roots and branches will invade your home. 

So, before you proceed to plant any tree, be sure to perform research regarding the space it will take when it’ll grow into a bigger one. In that way, you’ll have a clearer idea as to which plants to sow and which not to. 

• Grill Smoke & Flames

If you use a grilling machine in your backyard, you have to ensure that when you use it, it shouldn’t be too close to your home’s exteriors, especially if your house is made of wood. This is because the heat from the grill’s flames can quickly warp and damage your wooden home.

That’s not all though because the charcoal smoke can easily leave a stain on the exterior walls of your beautiful home. So, if you’ve recently repainted your home or bought a new house, this will be highly unacceptable. And there are the obvious house fire risks. 

The best way to deal with such a situation would be to put your grilling machine at least ten feet away from your home as well as other structures such as trees, sheds & plants. In that way, you don’t have to worry about the consequences.
