Tree limbs growing into power lines are one of the most common — and most dangerous — tree problems homeowners face. They cause outages, fires, and serious injury. Here's what every Waldorf, MD homeowner should know.
Never DIY Near Lines
Trimming branches near power lines is extremely dangerous and should never be attempted by a homeowner. Electricity can arc, and a misstep can be fatal.
Who's Responsible?
Utilities maintain clearance around their main lines, but the service line running to your house — and trees on your property — are typically your responsibility. It's worth confirming with your provider.
The Professional Approach
Our crews are trained and equipped to work safely near energized lines, using proper techniques and clearances to remove the hazard without risking an outage or injury.
Prevention
Regular trimming keeps limbs well clear of lines so they never become an emergency in the first place.
