In situations where you’re concerned about a tree causing serious damage, you can’t wait until normal business hours—you need emergency tree removal. Unsure if it’s a true tree emergency? Check out the three instances below where you should call in emergency tree services.
- Leaning. A slight lean is normal in trees after a severe storm or even time passing, but for noticeable leaning more than 20 degrees, you should call in an emergency tree removal service. The more a tree leans, the more likely it is to fall. Falling trees can cause major damage and can lead to serious injury, so it’s best to remove the tree before it has a chance to fall onto your home, car, or elsewhere.
- Exposed roots. When a tree is partially uprooted, you’ll often see exposed roots. These roots are a warning sign that a tree will likely fall soon. It’s only a matter of time before the tree uproots completely, so if you’ve noticed an exposed root system on a tree in your yard, you should act quickly to have the tree removed.
- Holes in the trunk. A hole in a tree’s trunk can be caused by a number of different factors, including animal interference, tree disease, or storm damage. The presence of a cavity can weaken a tree more than you may think, which means falling may be imminent. Calling an emergency tree removal when you see a hole or large cavity in a tree trunk can help save your property from the damages caused by a falling tree.
