Trees provide beauty all around us, and we smile when we pass under their comforting canopies. That’s why it’s shocking to see them hanging precariously over our homes after a storm, branches broken and torn. If you have a family, it’s tempting to try tackling the debris yourself. But that isn’t the safest or wisest move. Calling professional arborists with vast experience removing hazardous trees can have the danger removed quickly and safely. 

The team at Avalon Tree Services has years of hands-on experience helping homeowners like you. Read on to learn why it’s imperative to let a seasoned tree services company handle tree storm damage. 

What Is a Tree Emergency? 

A tree emergency can be anything from a fallen limb on your driveway to an uprooted tree looming over your roof after a windstorm. Any situation where a tree or tree debris constitutes an immediate risk to people or property is a tree emergency. 

Emergency tree care encompasses not only hazardous tree and limb removal but also prevention. Tree trimming, pruning, stump removal, and mulching can also help homeowners avoid accidents on their property and, in some situations, even save lives. 

What To Do If a Tree Falls on Your House 

If a tree crashes into your house, it’s a sound you’ll never forget. Once the tree has settled, check to see if everyone is safe. If anyone needs medical attention, get help immediately. Get everyone outside, away from the unstable structure, as quickly as possible.  

Once the scene has stabilized, call a 24-hour emergency tree service provider like Avalon Tree Services. Getting the help you need from a professional allows you the time you need to care for your loved ones while the debris is removed safely. This also prevents any further damage to your home. 

For Emergency Tree Removal – Hire A Professional! 

Further harm can come from attempting to remove the downed tree piece by piece on your own or with the help of a buddy. Hazardous trees require stabilization to prevent serious injuries or more damage to your property. Having someone help you also puts you at legal risk if they get hurt. 

How To Prevent Tree Falling Emergencies 

Prevention is better than cure. The best strategy is to arrange for routine tree maintenance, trimming, and pruning by qualified arborists. It significantly reduces the chance of emergencies arising during severe storms. 

Tree Emergency FAQs 

Q: Can I wait until after the next storm to have my trees assessed? 

A: It isn’t recommended to wait. Storms can cause hidden tree damage that may not be visible right away; some trees look fine after high winds but may die six months to 2 years later if not maintained. This is where expert assessment can determine which trees pose immediate threats. 

Q: If there’s no visible damage after a storm, should I still call for an assessment? 

A: Yes! Only an expert arborist can detect subtle signs of potential tree failure in the future.

Q: When does a tree need emergency removal? 

A: If your tree is leaning at the trunk, has broken branches, is leaning against another tree, or is touching your home or power lines, it warrants an immediate call to an emergency tree services company.
