Certain home repairs and maintenance tasks can be safely left alone for a day or two, whereas other things need to be addressed immediately. In our experience at Miller Tree Service, not everyone knows when to call an arborist about a tree problem.
If any of the trees on your property have been damaged, we encourage you to keep reading to learn whether you need to call our emergency tree service team. Below, we’ll cover three situations when you may need emergency tree service.
- Tree is leaning. One sign you should call for emergency tree service is the tree leaning significantly. Sometimes trees grow crooked or have a natural slant, but if you notice a tree on your property leaning heavily when it didn’t before, then we encourage you to call us right away. A new tilt to your trees often indicates the roots have become unstable or a structural problem in the branches and trunk, both of which can cause the tree to fall.
- Tree has dead branches. We encourage you to call our emergency tree service team if you notice a tree has dead or dying branches. When a tree branch dies, the leaves will turn brown and fall off, and no new leaves will grow. The wood will also become dry and brittle, and it may also grow fungus or attract pests. Our team can remove the dead branches to preserve the rest of the tree.
- Tree has cracks. We recommend calling for emergency tree service if you notice large cracks in the tree’s trunk or limbs. If any part of the tree has been damaged in a storm, you should contact our team to have us assess the situation and provide the necessary care.
