Spring storms are a common occurrence in Michigan. While these thunderstorms herald the return of spring and warmer weather, they can also spell disaster for properties with dead or dying trees and branches. When a branch – or entire tree – falls in the middle of the night, it’s easy to feel helpless and loss of control. Thankfully, there are emergency tree removal companies, like PPM Tree Service & Arbor Care, who are standing by to take care of you during these stressful situations.

Your arborist will quickly and efficiently assess your unique situation and develop a plan to remove the tree in the safest manner possible.

When To Call Emergency Tree Removal Services

When a large tree branch or an entire tree falls, your first instinct may be to call emergency tree removal services. However, some situations may not need to be addressed immediately, so it’s important to know the difference. Here are scenarios when you absolutely should call emergency tree services:

Damaged Property Or Vehicle

If a tree has fallen on your home, garage, or vehicle, you should call as soon as it happens. The weight of the tree can render your home unsafe until it is removed. And depending on the extent of the damage, you may have holes where rain and the elements can get inside. Damage vehicles may not be driveable depending on how and where the branch fell. You should call your insurance provider, of course, so they can assess the damage to the car and deal with a rental, but your arborist will be able to remove the debris safely.

The Debris Is Blocking Your Driveway

If a large tree or branch makes it impossible for you to get in and out of your driveway, don’t hesitate to call. We can quickly remove the problem, so you don’t have to call off work, school, or reschedule important doctor visits.

A Branch Is Not Completely Severed

If lightning or wind has caused a large branch to crack away from the main trunk, and this branch is over your home, garage, vehicle, or could fall onto a neighbor’s property, don’t be afraid to call. There’s no knowing when the branch will finally break, and you certainly don’t want it to damage property or harm someone.

The Tree Has Come In Contact With A Powerline

We can’t stress this point enough. DO NOT go near a downed powerline or a tree that has fallen into one. Please leave it to the professionals!

At the end of the day, if your gut says to call, you should call. It’s better to be safe than sorry!

How To Avoid Future Emergency Tree Branch Removal

To avoid future troubles, the number one thing you can do is have a professional tree removal company come out to assess your property. There are many ways to secure problem tree limbs. Understandably, you may wish to keep a tree, as opposed to removing it entirely. Many homeowners have trees on their property that have been in the family for generations; what we in the industry call “landmark trees.” It may be possible to secure problem areas with specialized cables so that your home, vehicles, and family members are protected. In other words: all may not be lost. The best thing you can do is be proactive and address the tree’s issues before a windy thunderstorm hits.
