In this blog, we will go over some tips for storm damage and tree removal, and the best ways to protect your house and family from more damage caused by storms.
When storms hit Maryland, they can blow in with the power of a hurricane. These types of natural disasters could cause major storm damage, and fallen trees are usually at the top of the list. Trees that aren’t healthy, have weak root systems, or have been pruned incorrectly could fall or drop limbs. Your house, your trees, and your family could be at serious risk if these problems aren’t handled quickly. In this blog, we will go over some tips for storm damage and tree removal, and the best ways to protect your house and family from more damage caused by storms. Read on to learn more!
Safety is the Top Priority
If a tree has already fallen, make sure to get to a safe place and don’t try to inspect or fix the damage yourself. Once you’re out of harm’s way, stand at a safe distance and take pictures of the damage. Then, reach out to Harford Tree Care for an inspection and assessment. We have teams dedicated to emergencies that are trained to deal with this process!
Getting a Proper Tree Assessment
Trees are living creatures, and there might be important warning signals or factors that could indicate possible further damage, risks, and safety protocols. A lot of trees that have been improperly pruned might be at a higher risk of future events, so a tree assessment is a smart way to learn everything you can about the existing situation and future risks. A tree assessment could also determine if the tree, or any parts of the tree, could be saved or if the entire tree has to be removed. Our Maryland-licensed tree experts and arborists can evaluate storm damage and other options you might have.
Understanding Your Own Insurance Policy
Talking with a local agent is always a smart idea as well. They will want to know if the tree is right on your property, or if it’s rooted on a neighboring property. Policies depend on how these situations are handled, so your agent can guide you the best!
Beware of Any Tree Service Scammers
Unfortunately, a lot of scammers will travel to and target places that have recently had storm damage. These people will usually take a deposit and never give you any services. Other times, they might not be licensed or smart in the tree removal process, and often don’t have insurance or permits.
