Plant Vines Look Great But Can Lead To Expensive Home Repairs


The video discusses the potential problems of allowing plants to climb on the side of a building. Greg starts the video with his experience of having to clean up a large vine that was blocking a vent in his attic.

He then goes on to give several examples of other potential problems, such as plants growing into the interior of the building and blocking doorways. It is important to be mindful of the potential damage that plants can cause, and to take steps to prevent them from getting out of hand.
