Seattle homeowners are happy to have trees and other vegetation on their property until disaster strikes. Damage is a possibility regardless of the health of your trees, so establishing a relationship with a reputable emergency storm service.
After a major storm occurs, homeowners must deal with cleanup that includes debris clearing, yard cleaning, and tree removal. These tasks present a high level of risk, and the potential for bodily injury and additional property damage is fairly high.

- Prune branches, and remove damaged limbs.
- Contact a tree service contractor to assess and remove limbs near utility lines.
- Have a tree service company in mind so that you can request assistance quickly after a severe storm.
Recovering After a Storm
- Look out for hanging branches and broken limbs.
- Stay away from trees leaning against or fallen next to power lines.
- Inspect trees for damaged limbs, trunks, and crowns.
