Emergency Tree Service

When a tree has failed and is creating a disruption or hazard, you need prompt response and expertise to take care of the problem. Whether the tree is blocking a road or driveway, has fallen on a car, house, or other structure, or is actively splitting, uprooting, etc. Athens Tree is equipped to handle the situation. Both storm damage and unexpected failures can affect even the strongest, healthiest of trees so we are always on standby.

Athens Tree prioritizes emergency service and we are experienced in handling the most dangerous and urgent situations. We will work together with you, your community, and your insurance from start to finish. Trees add beauty and utility to any outdoor space, but at times, their removal is necessary for safety. Athens Tree prioritizes other methods like pruning or disease control, but removal becomes essential for dead or unstable trees to prevent damage and ensure safety. In such cases, our emergency tree removal services are available, staffed with friendly representatives and ISA-certified arborists, ready to assist you at any time.

The Risks of Weak Trees

Trees, while typically long-lasting and strong, can pose a sudden risk if they become weak due to disease, decay, or damage. A compromised tree might unexpectedly fall on vehicles, buildings, fences, utility lines, or people, and as the property owner, you could be held responsible for any resulting damage.

Regular tree inspections by professionals are advisable, especially if you're not familiar with tree health, to prevent such situations. Ignoring these risks could lead to emergency removals and possibly uncovered insurance claims due to negligence.

When to call Athens Tree for Emergency Tree Removal?

When a tree from your property falls and causes damage, the responsibility lies with you, particularly if the tree needs removal. Recognizing such trees may not be easy for most, but Athens Tree has identified key warning signs:

• Dead Branches: A tree with over half of its branches dead or decaying is likely in need of removal.

  
  

• Root Defects: Signs like heaving soil or fungi near the roots suggest root problems, compromising the tree's stability.

  
  

• Damaged Trunk: Cracks, splits, or hollow areas in the trunk are signs of decay.

  
  

• Proximity to Utilities and Structures: Trees near utility lines or buildings pose a risk of structural damage and should be removed proactively.
