Storm Damage

The most frequent reason for emergency tree removal is a wind storm or a tornado. The property damage can be extensive, and more than 200 people are killed by falling trunks and branches every year in the United States. Although many factors contribute to a tree’s weight, it’s not unusual for one to reach 10,000 lbs. That is potentially a lot of damage.tree removal

Leave it to a Professional

If a storm strikes, don’t try to remove dead trees and branches yourself, and don’t use a chainsaw if you don’t know how.

You can get pinned underneath a trunk or large branch if it suddenly dislodges.

After a tornado, limbs get twisted together, created a tremendous amount of torque that unwinds like a spring. It can kick a saw right out of your hands.

If you try to move a tree that is anywhere near a power line, it can move and cause electrocution.

Removing Living Trees

For all the benefits trees provide, there are situations in which healthy ones need to be cut down quickly.

A tree that gets too close to power lines can disrupt electricity if the wind plays havoc with branches. It can even start a fire. In many cases, the tree’s crown can be cut back periodically. But if maintenance become too much or the tree grows into a real threat, it may have to be removed.

If a large specimen is too close to water and sewer pipes, large roots can split them at the seams. This allows smaller roots to grow inside the lines and clog your plumbing. Sometimes the pipes can be rerouted and the roots cut, but this leaves the tree damaged. It becomes a hazard, and emergency removal is the best solution. In some communities, it is mandated in these situations.

Emergency tree removal may be necessary when large roots undermine your home’s foundation.
