The storm was harsh. Winds shrieked. Rain cascaded in sheets. At times it seemed the sky might break apart.
You were concerned about your trees … and for good reason. The damage left behind was evident: limbs broken, maybe a downed tree or, worse yet, one that fell on your house or garage.
This isn’t time to play do-it-yourself arborist. When coping with storm-damaged trees, hire the most experienced tree removal service in Portland: Dorshak Tree Specialists. Their capability at removing and cleaning up tree storm damage spans three decades.
Tree removal is no job for rookies. A falling tree can take out power lines. If a tree or sizable limb falls on a structure, gravity tugging at the heavy wood creates dangerous tension. One wrong move can cause further damage or, worse yet, injure someone nearby.
Dorshak Tree Specialists has the safest, most sophisticated equipment to remove storm-damaged trees. Its Altec Remote Controlled Tree Removal system extends 92 feet to cut and remove pieces of storm-damaged trees, all in one motion. The Altec can grab and raise whole trunk sections, too. It’s an expedient, safe way to remove fallen tree limbs or sections, and avoid additional damage.
Time is critical in these situations. A downed tree, or broken limb, atop a structure or vehicle grows riskier the longer it’s unaddressed. Dorshak Tree Specialists usually provides same-day emergency storm damage service in and around Portland. If a storm causes far-flung havoc, the wait might be a day or two as situations that threaten life and limb are handled first.
Dorshak Tree Specialists understands the procedures and protocols of insurance companies on submitting damage claims from downed trees at Portland properties. You won’t be alone during the process.
What causes trees or limbs to fracture? Strong winds usually harm trees during storms. Gathered heavy, wet snow can snap limbs in winter.
Trees can fail for other reasons, too. Roots die. Excessive water collects at the base. Extended drought weakens overall health.
Some trees are just hardier than others. Branch strength can vary, for example. Native tree species typically withstand harsh Portland weather better.
In scenarios where branches break, the resulting wound is an invitation to insects and disease. The limb stub should be cut back to the trunk to promote healing. The ISA-Certified Arborists at Dorshak Tree Specialists are experts at trimming broken limbs to minimize long-term effects.
If Portland severe weather has left you with a downed tree or storm-damaged trees, contact Dorshak Tree Specialists to clean up the aftermath. Their tree removal service isn’t just about removing wood. It’s about preserving the health of your trees and, most importantly, you.
