The storm was severe. Winds howled. Rain fell in sheets. At times it seemed the sky might break apart.
You worried about your trees … and for good reason. The damage following 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 Saint Martins: Dorshak Tree Specialists. Their expertise at removing and cleaning up tree storm damage spans three decades.
Tree removal is no job for amateurs. A falling tree can damage power lines. If a tree or sizable limb falls on a structure, gravity pulling at the heavy wood creates dangerous tension. One incorrect move can cause further damage or, worse yet, injure someone close by.
Dorshak Tree Specialists has the safest, most advanced equipment to remove storm-damaged trees. Its Altec Remote Controlled Tree Removal system extends 92 feet to cut and grab pieces of storm-damaged trees, all in one motion. The Altec can grasp and lift whole trunk sections, too. It’s an expedient, safe way to remove fallen tree limbs or sections, and avoid additional harm.
Time is vital in these scenarios. A downed tree, or broken limb, atop a structure or vehicle grows more dangerous the longer it’s unaddressed. Dorshak Tree Specialists typically provides same-day emergency storm damage service in and around Saint Martins. 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 knows well the procedures and practices of insurance companies on filing damage claims from downed trees at Saint Martins properties. You won’t be alone during the process.
What causes trees or limbs to fracture? Strong winds usually damage trees during storms. Collected heavy, wet snow can snap limbs in winter.
Trees can fail for other reasons, too. Roots die. Excessive water pools at the base. Extended drought weakens overall health.
Some trees are just more robust than others. Branch strength can vary, for example. Native tree species typically withstand harsh Saint Martins weather better.
In situations where branches break, the resulting wound is an invitation to insects and disease. The limb stub should be trimmed 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 Saint Martins severe weather has left you with a downed tree or storm-damaged trees, contact Dorshak Tree Specialists to clean up the mess. Their tree removal service isn’t just about removing wood. It’s about preserving the health of your trees and, most importantly, you.
