The Dangers of a Storm-Damaged Tree
From hurricanes to hail and severe winds, several different weather events can damage your tree. Sometimes trees can heal after this damage, but if they don’t, they can cause significant problems for your property.
Enhanced Chance of Property Damage
When a tree experiences significant damage, it puts it at risk of harming your property. At best, small branches and leaves will clog your gutters or scrape your siding. At worst, a heavy branch will fall on your car or the entire tree will collapse on your roof.
Increased Risk Injury
In addition to risks to your property, without storm damage tree removal, you put the people you love or your customers and employees at risk. Even if a falling tree doesn’t hit a person, it can still pose a tripping hazard.
Compliance and Liability
If a tree from your property injures someone or damages your property, the insurance company may find you liable for the resulting expenses. If you run a business, leaving a storm-damaged tree intact could open you up to compliance issues for which you’ll pay a serious fine.
Curb Appeal and Property Value
Without fallen tree removal services, you leave your property looking unkempt or mismanaged. A dead or dying tree can hurt your curb appeal, which in turn can lower your property values.
Signs You Need Tree Removal After a Storm
How do you know when you need emergency tree removal or storm-damaged tree cleanup? If your tree shows the following signs, you should schedule service immediately:
- Significant branch damage: If you notice large branches already fallen or hanging precariously from the tree, you’re at serious risk of damage. Other concerning damage includes large splits, holes, branches that break with little force, or missing a large portion of the tree’s canopy or crown.
- Massive trunk damage: Your tree’s trunk can sustain minor damage without requiring storm damage tree removal. However, if you notice significant sections rotting away, massive holes in the trunk, or a large crack, you should remove it before it falls over.
- Excessive leaning: A tree should never lean more than 15 degrees. If a storm worsens how much it leans, you should remove it before it causes damage.
- Visible roots: Roots provide valuable structural integrity to your tree. If you see a large section of roots exposed after a storm, your tree will fall more easily.
- Already fallen: If your tree fell over in a storm, it can still pose a threat of injury or property damage.
Dealing With a Tree Damaged in a Storm
How should you approach tree cutting after storms? The most important rule is staying safe. If you’re concerned a branch may fall on you while you inspect the tree, stay away and let the professionals do their work.
If you notice any of the above signs, don’t delay calling for help. We’ll perform a tree assessment to determine whether you should remove the tree or we can restore it’s health.
