Warning signs

Is Your Tree a Hazard? Warning Signs That Require Immediate Assessment

Sudden Leaning or Shifting

If a tree has recently started leaning or the soil around the base looks lifted or cracked, the root system may be failing. Trees rarely “correct themselves.” A shifting tree can fall without warning, especially during storms or high winds.

Dead or Falling Limbs

Large dead branches in the canopy are more than an eyesore. They are unpredictable and can drop without notice. Deadwood often signals internal decay or structural weakness, especially after heavy rain or storm damage.

Cracks, Cavities, or Splits in the Trunk

Visible cracks or hollow areas in the trunk reduce structural integrity. Even if the tree looks healthy from a distance, internal decay can make it unstable. Structural splits often worsen under wind stress.

Fungal Growth at the Base

Mushrooms or fungal growth around the root flare can indicate root rot. When roots begin to decay, the tree loses its anchor and stability. Root damage is one of the most common hidden causes of tree failure.

If any of these conditions are present on your property, contact our emergency tree service for same-day evaluation.
