The storm was nasty. 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 afterward 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 dealing with storm-damaged trees, hire the most experienced tree removal service in Washington County: Dorshak Tree Specialists. Their expertise at removing and cleaning up tree storm damage spans three decades.
Tree removal is no job for novices. A falling tree can damage 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 greater 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 reaches 92 feet to cut and seize pieces of storm-damaged trees, all in one motion. The Altec can grab and lift whole trunk sections, too. It’s an expedient, safe way to remove fallen tree limbs or sections, and prevent additional harm.
Time is critical in these scenarios. A downed tree, or broken limb, atop a structure or vehicle gets riskier the longer it’s unaddressed. Dorshak Tree Specialists typically provides same-day emergency storm damage service in and around Washington County. If a storm causes widespread havoc, the wait might be a day or two as situations that threaten life and limb are tackled first.
Dorshak Tree Specialists understands the procedures and protocols of insurance companies on filing damage claims from downed trees at Washington County 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 endure harsh Washington County weather better.
In cases 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 pruning broken limbs to minimize long-term effects.
If Washington County 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.
