Prioritize Safety First
After a storm, safety should always come first.
Do not:
Walk under hanging or cracked limbs
Attempt to cut fallen trees yourself
Approach downed power lines
If power lines are involved, contact your utility company immediately.
Assess Damage from a Distance
A visual inspection from a safe distance can help determine next steps.
Look for:
Trees leaning more than before
Large limbs broken or hanging
Uprooted trees
Damage to roofs, vehicles, or fences
Even if damage appears minor, internal structural issues may exist.
Avoid DIY Storm Cleanup
Storm-damaged trees are unpredictable and dangerous.
DIY attempts often lead to:
Serious injury
Equipment damage
Further property damage
Professional crews have the training and equipment to handle storm situations safely.
When to Call a Professional Tree Service
You should contact a professional when:
Trees are damaged near structures
Large limbs are suspended or cracked
Trees are uprooted or unstable
Access is blocked by fallen trees
Early professional assessment prevents additional hazards.
Emergency vs. Non-Emergency Storm Damage
Not all storm damage requires emergency response.
Emergency situations include:
Trees on homes or vehicles
Blocked driveways or access routes
Immediate risk to people or structures
Non-emergency damage can often be scheduled safely once conditions stabilize.
