Peterborough County
Shortly after the ice storm hit Peterborough County recently, our team was called out to deal with a storm damaged tree. A large branch had splintered under the weight and crashed onto the homeowner’s roof. Although no one was hurt, the damage to the home was enough to warrant immediate action. The way the limb had fractured left the rest of the tree unstable. Unfortunately, the tree couldn’t be saved and had to be removed entirely.
Our team arrived on-site to assess the damage. A heavy branch had split off and come down on the homeowner’s roof. Using the bucket truck, we were able to cut the branch off safely without causing any further damage.
The break badly split the trunk. It wasn’t stable, and leaving it standing would’ve posed a risk to the house and anyone nearby. We carried out a complete removal and cleared away the debris.
Keep your distance if a tree on your property is damaged in a storm. Broken limbs can be under pressure, and trees leaning or splitting might still come down.
If it’s safe to do so, take a few photos of the damage for your insurance company, then call in a qualified tree service to inspect the tree and handle any necessary work. Then, contact a professional tree service company to inspect the tree and recommend the next steps.
Never try to remove large limbs or make cuts near your home on your own.
There are a few things homeowners should do to reduce the risk of damage in future storms:
Have your trees professionally pruned to remove weak or overextended limbs
Clear deadwood regularly
Watch for signs of disease or decay, which can make trees more vulnerable
Plant trees a safe distance from structures and vehicles
A proactive approach can help protect your property and trees in the long run.
At Sarginson’s, we assess the full extent of the damage before recommending the best course of action. In some cases, it’s a simple limb removal. In others, tree removal may be necessary to prevent future hazards.
