While the best way to minimize damage from a tree falling on your property is through regular maintenance, some situations are beyond control. Even if you keep trees trimmed and checked by professional arborists, you can still be left with an emergency situation at some point. Fortunately, Emergency Tree Services are available to help you out when the unthinkable happens.
The first step after a tree falls is to make sure everyone is safe. This means getting family members and pets to a safer part of the house (or out of the house) and making sure that they can’t get back into the tree or near it. It’s also important to call 911 if the tree has knocked down power lines or damaged the house itself.
Once everyone is safe, it’s time to examine the damage and determine if emergency tree service is necessary. Here are some signs it’s time to call in the professionals:
A split trunk is a serious sign that you need emergency tree services. It’s near impossible to save a split trunk and will most likely lead to full structural failure.
If you see a tree with fungus, it’s an indication that the tree is dying and needs to be removed. Fungus in a tree can cause rot, which may spread to other parts of the tree and can damage the structure. It’s important to take action before the fungus gets out of control and call for emergency services.
When the roots of a tree start growing into your driveway, sidewalk, or house, this is a sign that the root system has grown too large and must be removed. This will protect your property and prevent damage from upcoming storms, as well as make the home more appealing for prospective buyers.
During the storm season, trees frequently fall onto power lines. If a fallen tree has hit a power line, call 911 and the utility provider as soon as possible. Stay away from the area until a professional comes to clear it, as the presence of live wires poses a dangerous and potentially deadly hazard.
