Common Signs You Need Emergency Tree Services

If you’re not sure whether your situation constitutes an emergency, here are some common signs that you should contact us for emergency tree services right away:

  • You see cracks or splits in the trunk. Visible cracks in a tree trunk can mean that the tree is at serious risk of falling. If you notice deep splits in your tree trunk, especially after severe weather, we strongly recommend giving us a call for a professional assessment.
  • Your tree is leaning. If a tree is steadily leaning more and more over time, it could be a sign of root damage or another issue. Regardless of the cause, leaning trees are far more likely to suddenly and unexpectedly fall over, which can cause major damage to properties if left unchecked.
  • There are signs of disease. Our arborists can accurately diagnose and treat several common types of tree diseases, but it’s crucial to begin treating the issue as soon as possible. If you notice that your tree has discolored leaves, dead branches, or hollow areas in the trunk, it’s a good idea to call for emergency tree services.
  • You notice hanging branches. Branches that break but don’t completely fall off the tree can pose immediate safety risks to people and property in the area. If you see a large branch hanging precariously from a tree, make sure to keep people away from the tree and wait for our professional team to safely remove the dead or broken branch.
