Emergency Tree Services from storm damage
Drop & Leave is a local tree services company with full insurance that specialises in emergency tree removal and hazard reduction from storm-damaged trees.
With the strong winds recently experienced across Gippsland, property owners can be left with an aftermath of fallen trees, branches and debris. It is critical to hire a qualified company to handle these hazardous jobs.
Strong wind and stormy weather conditions can cause trees to fall or split and create dangerous situations.
Many homeowners are usually unaware of what to do; whether to call their insurance company, a local tree company, the SES, or even attempt to try it themselves.
Local, qualified tree service companies are highly specialised for this type of tree removal work and can provide a quote to your insurance company.
Storms can damage trees in many ways, particularly those that have weakly attached branches, bifurcation (where the tree has two or more branches that are trying to become the centre point of the tree), decay and inadequate root systems.
Trees that have been poorly pruned or ‘lopped’ in the past are also prone to damage, emphasising the importance of having your trees properly pruned by a trained professional.
Often, the damaged trees can be saved through pruning or weight reduction but where the damage is too extensive, tree removal may be your safest course of action.
If you are checking your trees after a heavy storm, make sure you approach any damaged ones with caution as some of the damage may be hidden, such as structural faults.
It’s always the safest option to contact a professional tree services company with qualified arborists that are trained to assess and repair the damage.
If the fallen tree is a danger – against the house or service wires, the job will usually be completed within hours.
Drop & Leave always offer a free tree hazard assessment after storms and high winds followed by a free, no-obligation, quote for the required works.
They also offer preventative maintenance, which assists in identifying potential hazards that could pose risk to people and property in the event of a storm.
