A clear path from storm damage to repair
Evaluating Trees Damaged by Storms
The first step in our tree removal process is a thorough evaluation of the trees affected by the storm. Not all damaged trees are equal in terms of risk; some may pose immediate threats to structures or power lines, while others might be at risk of falling later. Our experts assess factors such as the degree of structural damage, the health of the tree, its angle of lean, and its proximity to buildings.
Planning for Safe and Effective Tree Removal
After evaluating the situation, we proceed to formulate a strategic plan tailored to each tree’s specific conditions. The planning phase is critical, as it allows us to minimize risks and ensure an efficient removal process. Our team considers several key factors, such as the stability of the tree, its size, and its potential fall path.
Planning Equipment and Access
Additionally, we plan for the necessary equipment and personnel required for the job. Depending on the complexity of the removal, we might utilize cranes to lift heavy branches, specialized rigging systems to control the descent of tree sections, and various types of chainsaws for precise cutting.
Cleanup and Debris Handling
Once the hazardous trees have been removed, our focus shifts to cleaning up and disposing of the resulting debris. This involves chipping branches and cutting logs into manageable sizes, which allows for easy transportation and disposal. We utilize woodchippers to process smaller branches into mulch or chips, which can be recycled for landscaping purposes or properly disposed of according to local environmental guidelines.

Can PNWR tarp the roof after removing a tree?+
Yes, when site conditions allow. Temporary roof protection and stabilization can help limit additional weather damage until permanent repairs are planned.
Is storm damage usually covered by insurance?+
