6 Key Warning Signs You May Need Tree Removal Services

Knowing when it’s time to call for tree removal can prevent property damage, safety hazards, and costly repairs. While trees add beauty and value to your landscape, certain warning signs indicate they may be more dangerous than decorative.

1. Visible Decay or Rot
If you notice mushrooms, fungus, or soft, crumbling wood around the trunk or roots, your tree could be suffering from internal decay. Once structural integrity is compromised, the tree becomes a serious risk during storms or high winds.

2. Leaning or Unstable Growth
A sudden lean, especially after a storm, often signals root damage or instability. Even a slight tilt can worsen over time, making tree removal the safest option before it topples.

3. Dead or Falling Branches
Consistently dropping large branches or having extensive dead limbs in the canopy may indicate that the tree is dying or diseased. This poses a danger to people, pets, and nearby structures.

4. Cracks in the Trunk or Major Branches
Deep cracks or splits can weaken the entire structure of a tree. If these are extensive or located near the base, professional assessment and likely tree removal are recommended.

5. Root Damage or Soil Disturbance
Construction, erosion, or root exposure can harm a tree’s foundation, leading to instability. If roots appear damaged or are lifting sidewalks or driveways, removal may be necessary to prevent further issues.

6. Pest or Disease Infestation
Boring insects, mold, and other pests can hollow out the wood and weaken the tree from the inside. If treatment fails, removal is often the only way to protect nearby healthy trees.

It is crucial to address the issue of dead or damaged trees on your property, particularly after a hurricane like Ian, as they pose a significant risk to your safety and property. Trees that have been weakened or compromised by the storm can easily collapse during the next hurricane season, potentially causing severe damage to your house or roof.
