Emergency Tree Removal in Portland
If lightning strikes a tree in your yard, General Tree Service offers quick service for those in emergency situations. Generally, trees damaged by storms will either affect your home or surrounding utility infrastructure. If the impacted tree is located near power lines or buildings, removal requires special care and planning to avoid further complications or safety hazards.
When that tree is close to your home, you run the risk of falling branches that could break windows, and damage roofing, or fall on and injure anyone nearby, including a member of your family. Our crews have the expertise and equipment to deal with these complex removals and service all sizes of residential, commercial, and municipal properties.
When Should You Remove a Tree?
Here are some situations where we may recommend tree removal to limit potential hazards that could cause harm to your property or family.
- Dead or dying trees are more apt to topple in strong winds and cause damage.
- Crowding other trees; it is better to remove one tree so others can be healthy.
- Growing close to home and causing structural damage (cracks in foundation).
Common Signs of a Sick Tree
Any sick and dying trees in your yard are considered to be potentially dangerous. That is why it is vital that the homeowner has the tree removed as soon as possible. Of course, you must first be able to point out when the tree is showing signs of sickness or death.
Common signs of sickness and death in a tree include:
- Missing bark
- Leaves with yellow or red lines on them
- The tree no longer blooms
- Increased number of fallen branches
- Mushrooms growing at the base
The Benefits of Tree Removal
