(Tree Service | Wylie, TX)
Texas storms can be unpredictable, and high winds, heavy rain, and hail often leave trees severely damaged. According to the National Storm Damage Center, falling trees and branches cause over $1 billion in property damage annually across the U.S. While some storm damage is immediately visible, such as broken limbs or uprooted trunks, internal structural damage can go unnoticed, making it essential to have a professional assessment before assuming a tree is safe.
Certified arborists evaluate storm-damaged trees using advanced techniques, including:
- Structural Stability Testing – Identifying cracks and weak points in trunks and branches
- Root System Analysis – Checking for underground damage that could lead to instability
- Decay Detection – Assessing hidden decay that may cause future hazards
Data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) indicates that prompt post-storm care can reduce tree mortality rates by up to 50%. If you notice storm-damaged trees on your Wylie, TX, property, seeking a professional evaluation can prevent long-term risks while preserving as many healthy trees as possible.
