Storm Damaged Tree Cleanup
|
Hopefully, when a large branch, or a whole tree, comes down it doesn't land on your house, car or fence. If it does, the fallen tree will need to be removed before repairs can begin.

Storm damage to trees may manifest in many different forms. Lighting can blow apart large sections of a tree or even split a tree in half. High winds can cause plenty of damage by itself but when combined with heavy rain showers the ground my become saturated and the soil becomes softened or loose. You may find trees that are leaning or the root ball getting exposed.
A leaning tree, if minor, can reestablish it's root system and continue to do just fine. If you are concerned about how far the tree is leaning you should consult a tree service specialist to determine if the can safely remain or needs to be removed. Generally, if any of the root ball has been exposed the tree will need to be removed. |

Much of the smaller debris, as it is picked up, will just be sent through a chipper and disposed at a landfill.
Most trees, if they only lose a limb or two can continue to survive and even thrive but if major portions of a tree have broken off the tree may become unstable and are at much greater risk of falling with another round of severe weather. Be sure to check with your homeowners insurance policy to verify exactly what may be covered. Some policies will pay a benefit if a weather event damages a tree but other policies will only pay out if a tree falls or causes damage to your home or other structure.
Trees take many years to mature and grow large enough to provide the sought after shade benefit we value so highly in the heat of Arizona summers. They are also expensive to replace. Even if the damage is not severe enough to require tree removal, large gashes or cracks caused by limb loss can create an easy access point for insect pests to infest a tree or for disease to gain a foothold. It is recommended to consult a tree care expert to see if any protective measures can be take to preserve the life of the tree. San Tan Valley Storm Damage Tree Cleanup service will help you determine exactly what needs to be done and what the cost will be. |
