Bad weather doesn’t come with a warning. As a homeowner, if you are in an area prone to storms, trees falling on your land may not be new. There is no knowing what is there below all the debris. There could be loose wires, sharp branches or limbs, and other things that could cause you harm if you try to clear the tree yourself. At the same time, even if the tree has not fallen down, it can still be affected. And this is an even more dangerous situation. There is no knowing when the tree will come down, and what kind of damage it will cause. Our team at Owens Brothers Tree Service looks for warning signs in storm damaged trees to check if the trees need to be brought down.
We’re experts in assessing hazardous trees, tree pruning, and tree removal services, including emergency tree trimming in case of an extreme weather event.
Warning Signs of Storm Damage in Trees
Many warning signs indicate your tree may have been damaged in a storm. Some of these are:
The stems and branches have cracks or split in them
The tree's higher branches have partially attached or dead limbs hanging from them. These need to be taken care of so that they don't fall down and injure someone.
The trees have mushrooms growing at their base, weakening the trunk
The uprooted or fallen tree is putting too much pressure on other trees nearby
The tree branches are entangled with wires.
Some parts of the trees have gotten decayed or hollow.
The bark of the tree trunk is peeling, or it has gaping wounds that have been caused due to the storm
