When You May Need Emergency Tree Removal Service & What to Do
10/6/2023 4:00 AM -
There’s nothing quite as magnificent as the autumn countryside in Minnesota, with its breathtaking colors and falling leaves. But the beauty of fall foliage can only mean that winter weather is right around the corner, and winter can be harsh on the trees around your home.
For trees with damage due to age, disease, or injury, the weight of winter ice and snow can create a significant hazard for your property and anyone who lives there. When these trees become an immediate safety risk, you need an emergency tree removal service.
In this post from Vital Tree Service, we’re breaking down everything you need to do when you need emergency tree removal service. Give us a call when you need help with your trees fast.
The Risks of Postponing Tree Removal
Ideally, it’s better to invest in tree removal services before there’s an emergency. When trees fall and branches break, the weight of those limbs can exceed hundreds of pounds, while a full-sized tree can weigh several tons.
These are just a few of the risks you’re taking when you postpone tree removal for a structurally damaged tree:
-
Power outages
-
Roof collapse
-
Home damage
-
Damage to other structures on your property
-
Physical injury and death
-
Liability issues and lawsuits
-
Landscape damage
-
Foundation damage
-
Damaged vehicles
Because of these risks, it’s not worth it to wait. If you suspect your tree poses a risk to your safety or property, don’t hesitate to reach out to Vital Tree Service. We can assess the state of three and make a plan to remove it.
Signs You Need Tree Removal Services ASAP
While it’s clear that emergency tree removal is necessary to prevent property damage or safety issues, how do you know if the tree really needs to go?
Look for these signs that your trees need to be removed to prevent a tree-related emergency.
Dead Branches
It’s not uncommon for a tree to have dead branches. While a few smaller branches aren’t a big deal, pay attention to the size of the dead branches. When large branches are visibly dead, they need to be removed immediately. Schedule tree trimming services right away.
Hollow Trunks
A tree can live with a hollow trunk, but its structure will be compromised, and this could create a safety hazard. Leaving trees with a hollow trunk could risk failure of the tree when exposed to extreme weather.
Leaning Trees
While some trees may have a natural lean, a tree that suddenly begins to lean or bend indicates a health problem. Any tree leaning more than 15% should be inspected by a professional tree removal service.
Tree Touches Power Lines/Buildings
If a tree has grown too large, it can pose major safety risks. Trees that touch power lines can start major fires, and a tree that touches a building can lead to property damage.
While, in some cases, tree teeming is enough, this situation could be a cause for emergency tree removal.
Decay or Disease
While a diseased or decaying tree isn’t always beyond repair, it might be too late to save the plant. An arborist will determine if it’s possible to fix the tree. Otherwise, you’ll need to remove it before it falls or rots completely.
Can You Just Get The Tree Trimmed Instead?
If the tree is overgrown or too heavy, tree trimming may be a viable option. It’s also possible at times to trim the tee away from buildings or power lines. However, this depends on many factors. It’s best to request a consultation from tree professionals to know for sure.
How Does Tree Removal Work?
When we come to assess a tree for emergency removal, we can use various methods to remove it. We may use equipment to chop it down, or we may have to trim off branches first. We also have equipment to safely remove stumps.
If you need emergency storm cleanup or tree removal, we provide 24/7 services. Call today to learn more.

Thanks for helping me understand that a tree with a hollow trunk can still live, but it can be a safety hazard to the area. With that in mind, I will look for a tree removal service tomorrow to check the one in the backyard. I noticed that it is hollow just this afternoon, so I worry if it might fall on one of my outdoor furniture that can lead to being damaged or broken. https://www.jacksontreeservice.com.au/land-clearing

I like how you mentioned that there’s nothing quite as magnificent as the autumn countryside in Minnesota with its breathtaking colors and falling leaves. My uncle mentioned to me last week that he is planning to remove the trees and shrubs in their home as they want to make a blank slate backyard. I'll be sure to tell him that we can consult a professional land clearing company for ideas. https://www.lakeridgeltd.com/services

I like how you mentioned that leaning trees is a sign of danger to your home. My uncle mentioned to me last night that he is planning to cut the tree in their house as it is too close to their home and asked if I have any idea what is the best option to do for safety purposes. Thanks to this informative article and I'll be sure to tell him that we can consult trusted tree removal services as they can answer all our inquiries and will provide good-quality service. https://www.robertjefferiestreeservice.com/tree-removal

I never knew that a damaged tree could pose a hazard to your home's power or vehicle if left unattended. My aunt noticed that her oak tree showed signs of damage on its trunk. Maybe she should consider having it removed once she confirms that it's deteriorating. https://www.urbanforestersmn.com/tree-removal

Thank you for explaining that any tree leaning more than 15% should be checked by a professional tree removal service since it may exhibit a health problem. Some trees in our backyard lean towards our house. Your tip suggested that it should be checked by a professional, I better look now for a tree removal service near my place.

Thank you for pointing out that you are risking roof collapse if you put off tree removal. I think the tree next to my house is starting to bend because of the strong winds we have been getting. I don't want the tree to fall on my home, so I will have to get an expert to cut it down for me. https://www.waltonstreeservice.com.au/tree-removals

It does make sense to remove trees from your property if they start showing signs of deterioration. My uncle is thinking about converting his backyard into something more functional after the pandemic. This information might convince him to seek a land clearing expert for his project in the future. https://sunsetvalleytreeservice.com/land-clearing/

It really helped when you said that dead branches would be uncommon for trees that is why it has to be removed if there are some on them. I should hire a tree removal service this weekend to address the one in the front yard. It is also leaning a little bit as well which can be a risk for accidents. https://hlstreetrimming.com

We have a tree with an extremely large number of dead branches just near our house, and we couldn't figure out what to do with it. I imagined that this would end up being a completely dead tree soon, but I just wasn't so sure if we should act on it. I'll take your advice and find a tree removal expert that can lend us a hand with getting rid of it so we can plant a new one in its place.

It's great that you mentioned how leaving trees with a hollow trunk could risk failure of the tree when exposed to extreme weather. I inspected the tree in our backyard earlier and I discovered that its trunk is already hollow. We should not leave this alone and definitely ask for tree removal services.
