After a powerful storm sweeps through southwest Missouri, downed trees, broken branches, and debris can wreak havoc on your property. This is where tree service companies step in, playing a crucial role in storm remediation.

Assessing the Damage:

Following a storm, a certified arborist from a reputable tree service company can assess the damage to your trees. They will evaluate the extent of the damage, including:

• Fallen trees: These pose a significant safety hazard and need immediate attention.
• Broken branches: Depending on the size and location of the break, they could threaten power lines, damage structures, or injure someone.
• Leaning trees: These may be salvageable with proper support, but require professional evaluation to determine stability.

Storm Cleanup Services:

Tree service companies are equipped to handle various storm cleanup tasks:

• Safe Tree Removal: Professionals have the training and equipment to safely remove fallen trees, minimizing the risk of further damage or injury.
• Debris Removal: They can efficiently clear away branches, leaves, and other debris left behind by the storm.
• Emergency Tree Trimming: They can remove broken or hanging branches that pose an immediate threat to people or property.
• Tarpaulin Application: In cases where fallen branches compromise your roof, arborists can secure a temporary tarp to prevent further water damage until permanent repairs can be made.
