Emergency Tree Removal-Top 5 Tips
With the Vancouver Island winter weather approaching, where freezing and thawing, build-ups of ice, and high winds can cause serious damage to your trees, you may find yourself in an emergency tree removal situation.
A limb or even a whole tree coming down unexpectedly can be incredibly stressful. Especially if it has crashed onto your home, garage, vehicle, or even fence. So, what should you do if a tree falls on your house? Here are some helpful tips in case you ever find yourself in that situation.
- Remember the best thing you can do when a tree falls on your car or your home, is to Remain Calm. There could be a host of people escalating the stress. Curious or irate neighbors depending on where the tree has fallen, Well-meaning passersby who do not understand how to deal with a fallen tree, even friends or family members might ask if they can go under a leaning tree for a minute for a picture, adding stress. Remember that none of these people are professionals, and it is always better to err on the side of caution, simply stay away until professional tree removal experts can be called.
- Don’t make an emergency tree removal situation more dangerous by getting too close. You want to be a witness, not a victim. Trees that appear solidly supported, or stuck fast on the ground often shift or roll, causing personal injury or worse. Let our Portland area tree experts check it out. Stay clear and keep passersby clear as well. Often blocking off the area with sawhorses or a parked car can keep pedestrians from harm. And what should you do If a tree has fallen on a powerline or a tree is leaning on a powerline? Immediately call BC Hydro at 1 (800) 224-9376 or visit BCHydro.com. At Flex Tree Service, we have extensive experience in safely removing fallen branches and trees from a variety of precarious situations, including tree trimming around power lines.
- The next thing to determine is whether it really is an emergency. If the tree has fallen on a birdbath or fence, these wouldn’t be considered emergencies. After all, this is why we carry homeowner’s insurance. But if the tree has landed on your house, or could further slip, fall, and endanger your house, that is an emergency tree removal situation, and time to call a professional arborist.
- Call us at Flex Tree Service as soon as possible. We can make a determination about the relative danger of a fallen tree and can often mitigate the situation with tools we carry on us for these specific purposes.
