Emergency Tree Services

Tree emergencies can happen quickly, and be quite devastating. While trees most often stand tall and silent, they are storing large amounts of energy. When a tree falls, it can cause a massive amount of damage to the structures, vehicles, and people around it. If and when you encounter a tree emergency, you want to make sure that you contact a certified arborist right away. Emergency tree removal can be extremely dangerous if performed by untrained individuals, which is why professional assistance with emergency removal is absolutely required. Doing so will keep the people and property safe near the tree. Contact Croft Tree Experts if you have a tree on your property which:

Has fallen over
Has significant structural damage

If a neighbor's tree falls on my property who is responsible for removal?

While this question seems simple, the real answer is a bit more nuanced. If a neighbor's tree is showing signs of damage, rot, or other factors which might increase its odds of falling, they are responsible for removing the tree and potentially damage which was caused to your property. If the tree had shown no signs of damage and came down because of a particularly bad storm and caused damage to your property, your homeowners insurance will provide coverage according to your policy limits. If a neighbor's healthy tree falls into your yard and doesn't cause any damage, we hate to say it but you will be on the hook for cleaning and removing the tree.

How do I know if I have a dangerous tree?

If you have a dangerous tree, you want to make sure you get it removed before anything bad happens. The most common signs of a dangerous tree are dead or detached branches, rotten wood along the trunk and cracks or splits in the trunk. Dangerous trees also often have bark abnormalities with deep cracks or holes. If you suspect your tree is dangerous and needs to be removed, contact us today, we can help.

Do I need a permit to remove a dangerous tree?

If the tree on your property poses an immediate risk to the property surrounding it or people nearby, no distinctive tree permit is required to remove it. To be safe and avoid fines, it is a good idea to have a certified arborist assess the situation and determine the safest and best way of proceeding.

How can you tell whether a tree is safe after a storm?

After a storm it’s important to do a thorough assessment to check if any of your trees have become significantly damaged or might pose a potential danger in the near future. Make sure to look for broken or split limbs and cracks in the trunk. Without training or knowing what to look for, we recommend getting a professional arborist to provide you with a proper evaluation. Contact us today for a free consultation!

Is emergency tree removal covered by insurance?

Many home insurance policies cover storm damage or emergency coverage, but not always. It’s important to know exactly what is covered by your insurance. Our team of expert arborists are able to evaluate whether you tree is damaged, diseased, or dead to provide you with better information regarding your coverage. We will work with you to resolve any tree emergency that comes up and can also help you with understanding your insurance and coverages!
