After the Storm: Your Go-To Guide for Damage Cleanup with Professional Tree Care

A major storm has just rolled through your area, and heavy winds have left you with very damaged or maybe even fallen trees. What do you do in this case? When you’re left with major cleanup work after a storm, calling a professional tree care service is the necessary first step in the path to restoring your property. Learn more about what to do in this situation with our go-to guide for storm damage cleanup using a tree care service.

Assess Damage and Decide When to Call in a Professional

First and foremost, after you’ve ensured the storm has passed and there are no other hidden hazards, such as downed power lines or unstable branches, you can start safely assessing property damage.

In a best-case scenario, there isn’t any major damage to your trees or structures, with just minor debris to clean up. In this case, you can clean up items like twigs, leaves, and smaller branches on your own, taking safety measures such as wearing protective goggles and gloves.

However, if there are large fallen branches, severely weakened portions of a tree, or a tree that’s been ripped from the ground, it’s time to call in a professional. Trying to clean up a large fallen tree on your own can be incredibly dangerous without the proper tools and expertise, so it’s important to find a reputable tree care service that can get the job done right.

Finding a Professional Tree Care Service

When looking for a professional tree care service, it’s important to find one that is insured, licensed, and reputable. By checking online reviews and recommendations, asking to see proof of insurance, and requesting an estimate before hiring a company, you can make sure you’re in good hands with your storm damage cleanup.

Preventing Future Damage

After the cleanup is complete, consider calling on a tree care service in the future to maintain the health and safety of your trees before a storm hits. By doing so, you prepare for future storms and minimize the risk of another major cleanup. Removing damaged or diseased trees before a storm hits and adding bracing and cabling to strengthen branches lowers the chances of future safety hazards and property damage.
