Assessing Tree Damage After a Storm

New Urban Forestry is prepared to rapidly meet the needs of clients facing storm damage. Here are some homeowner tips in light of this weekend’s severe weather.

What to Look for After the Storm

After severe weather has cleared, check your trees for signs of damage, including:

• Broken or Hanging Branches: Limbs weakened during a storm can fall unexpectedly.
• Leaning Trees: A previously upright tree now at an angle may have a compromised root system. Trees undergoing failure often become lodged in neighboring trees. ‍
• Soil Disruptions at Base of Trunk: Cracks in the soil within a tree’s root zone may indicate imminent tree failure.
• ‍Cracks in the Trunk: Splits or large cracks can indicate structural failure, making the tree more likely to fall.
