When Would I Need Emergency Tree Removal?

 

Trees are beautiful, majestic things. They provide shade, beauty and even fruit! However, trees can also be dangerous. If you have an emergency tree removal situation on your property, contact Tree Removal Mount Waverley Services in the first 24 hours to avoid further injury and damage to your home or building. Let's take a look at when it might be time for emergency tree removal:

A tree is down on your property, and no one was hurt.

If you have a tree that has been uprooted or fallen down, and no one was hurt, it is important to contact a professional. They will help you take care of the situation. An emergency tree removal company can help with all kinds of situations, including:

• A storm damaged your property and left debris scattered about.
• A bad thunderstorm knocked down trees on your property.
• You need someone to remove an old or diseased tree from your yard quickly so that it doesn't cause any damage or injury in the future.

Trees are blocking a road.

Trees may grow on the side of the road and block traffic. In this scenario, you're stuck in your car waiting to be moved.

 The tree is also blocking any emergency vehicles from reaching you quickly. Encouragingly, some cities have protocols for removing trees that are blocking roads when they are notified by local residents or businesses.

A tree is on electrical lines, and live wires are exposed.

You should call 911 immediately if you see a tree that has fallen onto electrical lines. Do not touch the tree or the wires; approach the tree, use a ladder to climb near it, and try to move it yourself or drive over it. 

You may think you can risk doing any of these things because you're an expert and know what you're doing—but don't take any chances with your life! 

 

Trees are damaged but still standing.

If you're not sure about the severity of the damage, it's best to have a professional inspect your tree. If there is a lot of structural damage, then it's best to have it removed as soon as possible.

 

You don't know if the tree is damaged or not.

You can't tell if the tree is damaged. If you're not sure whether or not your tree needs emergency removal, look out for these signs:

 

• Signs of damage to the root system. If a large branch breaks off or falls from your tree, it could be because it was too close to your home. This may mean that its roots are also damaged and in need of repair.
• Signs of damage to the trunk. If a branch drops onto your house or lawn, it could be because there's an issue with the trunk itself—like decay or insect infestation—that has weakened its structure and made it vulnerable to falling over entirely at some point in time (which would necessitate more extensive emergency removal services).
• Signs of insect infestation or disease on leaves and other plant parts growing above ground level—if you notice any unusual green spots on leaves within one month after they appear.

 

Your home or building has been damaged by a fallen tree.

If tree branches or trunks have fallen on your home or building, you will need to contact us to assess the damage. If a tree is leaning against your home and can be removed without causing further damage, we will also remove it. However, if there is significant structural damage to your house and/or building, it may be better to hire an engineer or architect for structural repairs before attempting any further work.

 

If there are only a few small branches that have fallen onto your property but caused no major damage (e.g., no broken windows), then these can be cleaned up by yourself or with help from family members without hiring us first. 

 

However, if there are large branches blocking pathways or entryways into buildings such as garages attached houses, then they should not be moved around until they have been inspected by an arborist as doing so could cause further damage, which could lead them becoming dangerous objects themselves in future years (especially if left where they landed).

 

Conclusion

A falling tree can cause serious damage to your property and people's lives. If you're not sure whether or not you need emergency Tree Removal Mount Waverley services, contact a professional as soon as possible.
