Tree Removal

A dying tree is a dangerous tree. Trees, not unlike any other living things, have a lifespan. Some trees can live hundreds and even thousands of years. However, all trees will eventually die. While a tree is alive, it continues to grow. Once a tree dies, it stops growing and begins to decay. This decay process weakens the tree making it more susceptible to winds and storms, which can cause the tree to fall and damage property or injure people. If you are unsure if a tree is dead or dying, it is essential to have it assessed by a tree removal professional like Chase’s Tree Pros.

Trees that are leaning pose a severe threat to any structures they may fall on. A tree removal professional will be able to assess the tree and determine if it needs to be removed. Just because a tree is leaning does not mean it has to be removed indefinitely. Leaning trees may cause no threat if the tree and root system are healthy and the lean is not severe. In some cases, a tree removal professional can help save a leaning tree by installing guy wires or cables to stabilize the tree and prevent it from falling. It is essential to maintain tree trimming and to prune to ensure your trees’ health and help prevent further leaning.

The roots of trees are mighty and can damage your home’s foundation if they are not adequately cared for. Suppose you see cracks in your foundation or notice that your doors and windows are no longer fitting correctly. In that case, it is essential to have a tree removal professional assess the situation. The roots of a tree can also cause problems with your sewer line or other underground piping. If you notice that your drains are not draing well, or water is pooled around your home, it may be caused by an invasive root system. The roots of a tree will always seek water and old leaking pipes under the ground are an easy source of water for tree roots. If you think that the roots of a tree are causing damage to your home, it is crucial to have the tree removed as soon as possible.

Tree limbs and trees can cause severe damage to power lines and other overhead structures. If a tree limb falls on a power line, it can cause a power outage for you and your neighbors. It can also be hazardous if the tree falls on the power line. A tree removal professional should remove trees close to power lines as they have the experience and equipment to remove the tree without damaging the power lines safely. In some cases, tree trimming can be a solution to this problem. Trimming trees near power lines can prevent future damage to the power lines, especially in high winds and significant weather events like hurricanes that we frequently encounter in Slidell and St Tammany.

Trees can block views that you may want to see. This is especially true if the tree is blocking a body of water. If you have a view that you want to know, it is important to have the tree removed. Trees can also block views of roadways which can pose a danger to drivers. If you have a tree blocking a view, it is important to have it removed as soon as possible.
