Nature can be unpredictable, so you don’t always know when you’re going to need services like emergency tree removal to keep you and your property safe. Knowing when tree removal can wait until normal business hours and when it can’t wait is important.

When Should You Call an Emergency Tree Removal Service?

The general guideline for when a situation calls for emergency tree removal is when there is a safety risk or potential for property damage. You never know when a leaning tree, for example, could fall onto your house. If safety is a concern, the situation qualifies as an emergency.

The most common type of tree emergency is a tree that has fallen onto or is leaning over property. Even if you don’t necessarily see a safety risk, it’s best to reach out to emergency tree removal services to assess the situation. Generally speaking, leaning trees will need to come down sooner rather than later. This is especially true if the tree is leaning on or over power lines. Pressure on these power lines can cause them to fall, which creates an even larger safety risk than there was before.

Storms create the potential for hazardous areas with struck or partially uprooted trees. Emergency tree removal services are common after severe storms, where strong winds can wreak havoc on your trees.
