When trees become damaged, start to lean, or fall entirely, they can cause safety hazards, extensive damages, and even injuries. Fortunately, emergency tree services can keep your family and property safe. Here are some circumstances under which you should call a professional arborist to treat, trim, or remove problem trees.

When Do You Need Emergency Tree Services?

1. Low Hanging Branches

When branches hang over your roof or driveway, they can fall and damage your home or vehicles. Intense storms tend to weaken branches, and gusty winds can detach them from the trunk. Inspect the trees on your property, especially after storms, and schedule emergency trimming if you see any branches hanging lower than usual.

2. Immediate Threats

If a tree falls and makes contact with power lines or your property, call for emergency removal immediately. Avoid electric shock or injury by staying away from the area until a tree service arrives, and call 911 if you notice smoke or flames.

3. Storms

Dying trees are more vulnerable to falling during intense storms. For this reason, have older or sickly trees removed when you notice inclement weather in the forecast. Additionally, even healthy trees may lose branches and limbs due to wind gusts, the weight of snow, or lightning strikes, so call for emergency services when you notice significant damages following a weather event.

4. Diseases

Diseases, such as root rot, weaken trees' underlying structure, even if the trunks, branches, and leaves look normal. If you notice fungal growths on exposed roots accompanied by a putrid smell, the affected tree needs treatment and possible removal.
