Nature can have surprising power, and storms have the potential to cause some serious damage to your property. It’s common for homes to have some debris around their yard after a particularly heavy storm that needs to be cleared away with a storm damage cleanup service. Here at Top Notch Tree Service, we specialize in tree related services, including tree removal following a severe storm.

Why Tree Removal is Often an Important Part of Storm Damage Cleanup

Obviously, uprooted or struck down trees that have fallen onto your home, car, or other property will need to be removed for your safety, but not everyone understands that tree removal as part of storm damage cleanup is sometimes necessary for trees that haven’t fallen. For example, sometimes, storms will uproot a tree enough for it to lean at a concerning angle without actually falling onto anything. However, a leaning tree after a storm is a major hazard that shouldn’t wait to be addressed. Storm damage cleanup services should be contacted right away, since when a tree has been even partially uprooted, there’s a potential for that tree to fall. It’s a much better idea to remove a tree that looks like it’s going to fall than to wait for it to fall and have it removed after more severe damage is done.

If you’re concerned about tree damage following a storm, there are a few signs that you can look for. Cracked trunks and partial root uplifting are both major indicators that a tree may fall. However, it’s important to note that it’s safer to look for these signs from afar. You don’t want to get too close to a tree that might fall. Instead, call in our team for damage assessment.

We offer emergency services for hazardous trees that need to be removed following a storm. Contact us today if you suspect a tree on your property might fall due to storm damage.
