Storm Damage Tree Service

Our emergency storm damage tree service in Parker, CO, provides rapid and safe solutions when severe weather strikes. We specialize in addressing hazardous trees and fallen limbs to restore safety to your property quickly. We often make use of our crane to safely remove fallen trees from houses and vehicles when other methods are too risky.

Why A Rapid Storm Response Is Critical

When severe storms hit the Parker area, the aftermath can leave your property in a dangerous and precarious state. High winds, heavy snow, or lightning can cause tree limbs to break or even uproot entire trees, creating immediate hazards. Our rapid response storm damage service is designed to address these urgent situations with speed and expertise. Quickly removing fallen trees or broken branches from roofs, cars, or driveways is essential to prevent further damage and restore access. Addressing hanging limbs, known as “widow-makers,” is crucial for protecting people from sudden falls. Prompt assessment by our arborists can also determine if a storm damaged tree can be safely saved or if it requires complete removal to eliminate future risk. Acting fast helps minimize the potential for additional property loss. Most importantly, it ensures the safety of your family and neighbors. Our team is trained to work efficiently under pressure to secure your property. We understand that in these moments, a swift and professional response is not just a convenience, it is a necessity. This service provides critical support when you need it most.

Most Common Storm Damage Tree Service Questions

Severe weather is a reality in Parker, and when storms cause tree damage, homeowners have urgent questions. Quick, accurate information is vital for making safe decisions. Our team is always prepared to provide the expert answers you need during these stressful times.

The very first priority after a storm damages trees on your property is to ensure the safety of everyone. Before you even begin to assess the damage, conduct a careful visual inspection from a safe distance. An example is from inside your home. Look for any downed power lines that may be tangled in the fallen trees or branches. If you see any, stay far away and contact your utility company immediately. These lines could still be energized and are extremely dangerous. Also, be aware of any “hangers” or “widow-makers.”

These are broken branches caught in the upper parts of a tree that could fall at any moment. Do not walk or stand directly under damaged trees. Once you have determined that there are no immediate electrical hazards and have a safe path, you can begin to document the damage.
You can do this by taking photos from multiple angles. This documentation will be very helpful for your insurance claim. Avoid attempting to move large branches or perform any tree work yourself. This is especially true if it involves using a chainsaw in an unstable environment.

Storm damaged trees can be under unusual tension. Cutting them can cause them to shift or snap back unexpectedly, leading to serious injury. The safest and most prudent next step is to call a professional, insured tree care company. Contact a reputable emergency tree service, like N&D Tree & Crane Services, as soon as possible. Our professionals are trained to work in hazardous post storm conditions. They also have the proper equipment to handle the situation safely. When you call, be prepared to describe the situation. Let us know if a tree has fallen on your house, car, or is blocking your driveway. This helps us prioritize our response. It also helps us dispatch the right crew and equipment to your Parker property. Taking these measured, safety first steps is the best course of action in a storm’s aftermath.

In many cases, the cost of removing a fallen tree or addressing storm damaged trees is covered by homeowner’s insurance. However, the specifics can vary greatly depending on your individual policy. Typically, if a tree falls and damages a covered structure on your property, such as your house, garage, or fence, your insurance will cover the cost of removing the tree from that structure. It will also cover the cost of repairing the structure itself. Some policies may also cover the removal of the resulting debris, up to a certain limit. It is important to review your policy details carefully.

If a tree falls on your property without hitting any covered structures, for example, if it just falls in your yard, insurance coverage is less likely. Most standard policies do not cover the cost of debris removal in this scenario. This is unless you have a specific endorsement for it. However, if the fallen tree is blocking your driveway and preventing you from leaving your home, some policies may provide coverage for its removal. Similarly, if a neighbor’s tree falls on your covered structure, your homeowner’s insurance is generally the primary policy that would cover the damages and removal.

To ensure you get the full benefit of your coverage, it is essential to work with a professional and reputable tree care company like N&D Tree & Crane Services. We can provide your insurance company with the detailed documentation and accurate cost assessments they need to process your claim. We will clearly outline the work that is necessary to make your property safe. We will also provide a transparent estimate. We recommend contacting your insurance agent as soon as possible after a storm to report the damage. This will help you understand the specifics of your coverage.

Determining whether a storm damaged tree needs to be removed requires a careful assessment. It is a decision best made with the help of an ISA Certified Arborist. However, there are several key warning signs you can look for from a safe distance. A tree with a split trunk or multiple deep cracks in its main stem has likely suffered a major structural failure. It is often a candidate for removal. If the tree is leaning significantly more than it was before the storm, it could indicate root failure. This is especially true if the ground around its base is heaved up.

This means a high risk of completely falling over. Examine the tree’s main branches. If more than 50 percent of the tree’s major limbs are broken or severely damaged, the tree may not have enough foliage left to survive and recover. A large, open wound on the main trunk where a major limb has torn away can also make a tree vulnerable. It becomes vulnerable to disease and decay, potentially warranting removal. Also, look for signs of pre existing health problems that the storm may have exacerbated. These include extensive rot, large cavities, or significant dieback that was present before the storm hit.

Ultimately, a professional evaluation is crucial. Our arborists at N&D Tree & Crane Services can perform a thorough risk assessment. We look at the severity and location of the damage. We also look at the tree’s species and age, and its overall health. This helps us provide an expert recommendation. We can sometimes save trees that look severely damaged through specialized pruning and support systems. Our goal is to provide you with an honest, safety focused assessment. This will help you make the best decision for your Parker property.

A “widow-maker” is a term used in arboriculture and forestry to describe a broken or detached tree limb or section. It is caught in the upper branches of a tree instead of falling completely to the ground. These are one of the most significant and unpredictable hazards in a post storm environment. The primary danger of a widow-maker is that it is incredibly unstable. It can be held in place by just a few smaller branches. Factors like wind, rain, or even slight movements in the tree can cause it to dislodge.

It can then fall suddenly and silently, posing a lethal threat to anyone standing or walking below. The danger is amplified by the fact that they can be difficult to spot. This is especially true in a dense canopy. Homeowners may not recognize the risk they pose. A widow-maker can weigh hundreds or even thousands of pounds. A fall from a significant height can generate enough force to cause catastrophic damage to property. It can also result in serious injury or death. After any significant wind or snow event, it is critical to be aware of this potential hazard.

You should visually inspect your trees from a safe distance before spending time in your yard. Never attempt to dislodge a widow-maker yourself by throwing things at it or trying to pull it down with a rope. If you suspect there is a broken or hanging limb in one of your trees, it should be treated as an emergency situation. The only safe way to deal with a widow-maker is to have it professionally removed. This should be done by trained and properly equipped arborists. Our crews at N&D Tree & Crane Services have the skills and tools, including aerial lifts or climbing gear, to safely access and remove these specific hazards. We methodically secure the broken limb before carefully cutting it away. We then lower it to the ground in a controlled manner, eliminating the risk to you and your property.

Removing a tree that has fallen on a house is a complex and hazardous operation. It requires specialized equipment, extensive experience, and a meticulous, safety first approach. The first step our N&D Tree & Crane Services team takes is a thorough assessment of the situation. We evaluate the size and weight of the fallen tree. We also look at the extent of the damage to the roof and structure, and the stability of the tree itself. The tree may be under immense tension. We also identify any associated hazards, such as downed power lines.

Based on this assessment, we formulate a precise removal plan. The plan prioritizes preventing any further damage to your home. The safest and most effective method for removing a large tree from a roof is to use a crane. Our NCCCO Certified Crane Operator will strategically position the crane to access the fallen tree. We then use strong straps and specialized rigging to secure large sections of the tree’s trunk and limbs. The crane carefully lifts these sections vertically, up and away from the house. This eliminates the risk of them sliding or rolling and causing more damage to the roof or walls.

Our ground crew then safely processes these sections. This happens once they have been moved to a secure location away from the structure. This highly controlled process is far safer than simply trying to cut the tree into small pieces while it rests on the roof. Uncontrolled cutting can cause the tree’s weight to shift unpredictably. This can lead to a structural collapse or injury. Our team works with precision and constant communication between the crane operator, the climber (if needed) , and the ground crew. As a fully insured and certified company, we have the proven expertise to handle these high stakes situations. Our primary goal is to dismantle the tree from your house as safely and efficiently as possible. This allows you to begin the process of repair and recovery.

While it might be tempting to handle some of the cleanup yourself after a storm, we strongly advise against trying to remove any large fallen branches on your own. This is especially true if they require a chainsaw. Storm damaged wood is incredibly unpredictable. A branch that appears stable could be under a tremendous amount of tension or compression. Making an incorrect cut can cause the branch to snap back violently. This situation, known as a “barber chair,” can cause severe or even fatal injuries. Likewise, a limb that is part of a larger pile of debris could be supporting other heavy pieces.

Moving it could cause the entire pile to shift and collapse on you. Using a chainsaw without proper training and personal protective equipment (PPE) is already dangerous. These risks are magnified when dealing with unstable, storm damaged trees. The uneven ground, tangled branches, and the potential for hidden hazards create a very high risk environment. Our professional crews at N&D Tree & Crane Services are not only equipped with the right safety gear. They are also highly trained in the physics of tree cutting. They know how to read the tension in the wood.

They know how to make the proper cuts to safely release it, ensuring a controlled and predictable outcome. For your own safety, it is best to leave any tree work that requires more than what you can pick up by hand to the professionals. You can certainly help by clearing away smaller twigs and debris from safe areas of your yard if you feel comfortable doing so. However, for anything that requires cutting or moving heavy sections of wood, please call our expert team. The risk of serious injury is simply too high to justify a DIY approach in these situations. Let us handle the hazardous work so you and your family can stay safe.

While no tree can be made completely immune to damage from a severe storm, proactive maintenance performed by a professional arborist is the most effective way to prepare your trees. It can significantly reduce the risk of failure. The most important step is to have our ISA Certified Arborists at N&D Tree & Crane Services conduct a professional tree health and structure assessment. We can identify potential weak points. These include co-dominant stems with included bark, overextended limbs, deadwood, or signs of disease and decay. These could make a tree more likely to fail in high winds or under heavy snow.

Based on this assessment, we can perform targeted structural pruning. This is different from general trimming for aesthetics. Structural pruning focuses on improving the tree’s architecture. It does this by removing or reducing the length of weak or poorly attached branches. It also thins the crown to reduce wind resistance and promotes a strong central leader. Removing any existing deadwood is also critical. These are often the first branches to break and become dangerous projectiles in a storm. For certain trees with identified weaknesses, we might also recommend installing supplemental support systems.

These include cables or braces, to provide additional stability. Regularly monitoring your trees’ health and addressing any issues promptly is also key. This includes ensuring they are properly watered during dry periods. It also includes watching for any signs of pest infestations or disease that could weaken them over time. By investing in this type of proactive care, you are making your trees more resilient. You are making them better equipped to withstand the forces of Colorado’s often intense weather. A well maintained tree is a much safer tree when the next storm rolls through Parker. Our team can help you develop a comprehensive plant health care plan to keep your trees strong and prepared.
