How to Know If Your Trees in Danger of Falling

Tell-Tale Signs of a Risky Tree

Strong storms can bring down even the healthiest of trees, but some tree conditions put your property at risk even in the absence of winds. Here are some signs that your tree may be at risk of falling over.

  • Dead or Diseased Branches: It is natural for leaves to fall but when branches start falling, then there is something wrong. This is the trees way of saying that it is running low on resources to take care of extremities.
  • Cavity: A hole in the trunk of a tree can form when a tree drops a branch and lead to a decay inside the tree. If there is enough wood around the cavity, however, the tree may be safe.
  • Gash & Deep Cracks: If tree bark is missing, gashed, or indented then you have a point of weakness. That canker is a stress point where the tree can break and fall over.
  • Leaning Trunk: Trees can naturally grow tilted and this can be safe as long as its roots are solid, but trees that are leaning more than 15 degrees due to wind or root damage are hazards. They should be inspected and possibly removed!
  • Rotten Roots: Though it can be difficult to spot rotten roots, you should do your best to look out for this tell-tale sign of an unhealthy tree. Look for mushrooms around the base of the tree or its trunk.

These are only a hand full of signs that point to an unhealthy and risky tree. For an expert analysis, call the professionals at Sesmas Tree Service.

Your Insurance Company Might Not Cover the Damages

Your home insurance company likely covers damage to your insured property that is caused by fallen trees, but your insurance claim could be rejected if it is found that the accident could have been prevented. This means that it is your responsibility to ensure that your trees are healthy and sturdy. Trees that have fallen over due to neglect and disease may end up being your responsibility.

Customer Reviews

3 large Leyland Cypress trees removed near front of our home. Excellent service, professional crew, very competitive pricing for superior work! Rolando provided the initial estimate and the  follow up and was the best in terms of customer relations. I'd both use this company again AND highly recommend them.

Susan Hitchcock

This is the 2nd time we have used Sesmas Tree Service. They are a wonderful company to deal with. They were on time, professional, and very thorough. They cleaned up prior to leaving and went out of their way to protect our plants and landscaping. And they kept to their proposal with no hidden cost or add ons. Definitely a five star experience!

Gene McFadden

Wow!  I deal with tree services in my professional work and I can honestly say Sesmas is by far the most professional, best equipped, efficient, safety conscious, and communicative service I've ever encountered.  Their price was very reasonable and they even went so far as to include additional work without increasing the price.  Call them!  Now! They are very quick to respond.

Scott McLendon

We've used Sesmas several times and have always received excellent service.  Estimates are quick and easy and the crew is efficient and leaves the property clean of debris.  Recently we needed a tree removed next to a heavily landscaped area.  Sebastian went over everything with me in detail and listened to my concerns.  The crew did an excellent job in removing the tree with minimal disturbance to the surrounding area.  We are pleased and will consider them again in the future for pruning and tree removal.

Tonia Griswold

Sesmas Tree Service was amazing! I had two dead trees cut and a lot of trees that were already down on my property removed. Sebastian came out and sent the quote in writing within 24 hours. We were in the process of scheduling the service when a slot opened up sooner snd I was able to go ahead and get the work done. Everything was explained ahead of time for what to expect. The crew was very efficient and professional.  All of the work and cleanup was done in one day. I would recommend Sesmas for your tree cutting/cleanup needs.

LaDora Woods

I hired Sesmas to cut down a very tricky tree that was hanging over my house as well as a few large limbs. They did a great job and had the machinery to get the job done right.

Perry Hartman

Great experience with Sesmas. They were meticulous with my tree removal, safe and efficient. David’s communication throughout the process was much appreciated. Highly recommend!

Lindsay Ellenburg

Great experience with Sesmas Tree Service. The arborist who came out was a Board Certified Master Arborist, and you could immediately tell he knew his stuff. He took the time to explain what needed to be done, gave us clear options, and helped us feel confident from start to finish. The whole process was easy and professional. We’ll definitely use them again.
