Trees can become hazardous if they fall onto buildings, roads or powerlines and pose an immediate threat. In such an instance, professional removal must take place as soon as possible to assess and remove it safely from its location.
Signs that a tree could become hazardous include major cracks in its trunk or major limbs, exposed roots and disease or pest infestations. A certified arborist can quickly assess these issues and recommend treatments in order to save it.
Damaged or Broken Branches
Storm-tossed tree branches can quickly snap and land on your home, car or fence, creating a serious risk to those living nearby. A professional tree service business is equipped to quickly assess and respond appropriately so as to ensure everyone’s safety in the immediate area.
Broken branches and twigs are an immediate telltale sign that something is amiss with your tree, as brittle branches that easily snap are more vulnerable to disease and decay than their counterparts that don’t break. As experts are best placed to handle damaged or broken trees, be it from tree care professionals themselves.
If the damage is minor, it may heal itself over time. For instance, small splits that don’t alter branch shape can often be repaired using bracing as a temporary bandage for its wounds.
On the other hand, trees with severe splits on major limbs or trunks require immediate attention as these aren’t as easily fixable and could require the tree’s removal altogether. Leaning or fallen-over trees also need immediate assistance.
Exposed Roots
A healthy tree adds curb appeal and prevents erosion on a property, while its roots absorb nutrients that help retain soil moisture. When exposed for extended periods, however, its roots indicate overstress or damage which requires immediate care and assistance.
An unhealthy or dying tree can attract pests into your yard. To avoid this issue, regular pruning of trees to maintain their health is best practice; alternatively, professional tree services may remove an unhealthily or dangerous specimen and grind the stump in order to minimize unsightly debris.

Cracks in the Trunk or Major Limbs
Cracked trunks of trees pose a far greater danger. Such damage can girdle a tree and lead to internal decay which leads to its eventual failure, with branches potentially falling off creating hazards for pedestrians or vehicles passing nearby.
If you detect cracks in the trunk or major branches of your tree, contact an emergency tree service immediately. They will evaluate its condition and suggest appropriate solutions such as cutting away damaged sections, pruning branches back for better circulation or treating for diseases or pests.

Disease or Pests

Emergency services also evaluate tree condition before pruning off branches that pose potential threats that threaten damage property, or pruning off those that threaten damage in order to minimize their risks of becoming hazards themselves.
An arborist can assess a tree by taking both aerial and ground views, with particular attention paid to sudden leans that indicate structural compromise requiring immediate intervention.
