Reasons You May Need Emergency Tree Service
- Storm Damage: High winds, heavy rain, or lightning strikes can split trunks, break large limbs, or uproot entire trees—posing immediate danger to people and property.
- Fallen Trees or Branches: Trees or large branches that have fallen on roofs, fences, vehicles, or utility lines require urgent removal to prevent further damage or injury.
- Cracked or Split Tree Trunk: A visible split or deep crack in the trunk is a serious structural failure that could lead to total collapse at any time.
- Leaning Tree: A tree that suddenly leans or appears unstable may have compromised roots or soil erosion—making it a risk to nearby structures or walkways.
- Tree on Power Lines: Any contact between tree limbs and live power lines is extremely hazardous and requires immediate, professional attention—often in coordination with utility companies.
- Root Uplift or Soil Movement: After storms or heavy winds, exposed roots or shifted soil around the base may indicate that a tree is no longer securely anchored.
- Dead or Dying Tree Near Structures: A tree that’s visibly dead or severely diseased can drop limbs or fall unexpectedly, especially in windy or dry High Desert conditions.
- Blocked Access or Entrances: Trees or branches that fall across driveways, walkways, or business entrances can interrupt access and need fast clearing for safety and function.
- Insect or Pest Infestation: Severe infestations (like termites or bark beetles) can weaken trees quickly, making them brittle, hollow, or unstable.
- Emergency Municipal or HOA Requirements: Some neighborhoods or cities may require immediate removal of hazardous trees following inspections or code violations.
