Mike Lamb Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Would you recommend that the tree that has grown around this outside neutral wire be removed? Besides the weight, I don't think it's doing any harm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted July 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 I recommended removing it. I have seen this many times before but never on one of my inspections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 It's an organic stockbridge damper. . . I'd advise them to call the power company and find out if they know about it and if they're ok with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 The tree has been removed. That's a log.😉 It's very likely the utility, or their contractor, is the party responsible for leaving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Yep, somebody from the power company needs to remove it, hopefully while the seller is still paying the bill. They were just seasoning it first. 😀 If you don't report it, your client might be dismayed to eventually see the cost of removal on his power bill.
