Hazardous Tree Inspection can advert major damage and danger to your loved ones. Sometimes there are more complicated issues that aren’t so easy to spot.

Able Tree Care specializes in troubleshooting and spotting any potential tree hazards-present and future.

What is a Hazardous Tree Inspection?
A hazardous tree inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a tree’s structural integrity and overall health. It goes beyond a casual glance. Our experts systematically examine your tree to identify hidden defects, diseases, or environmental factors that could cause it to fail. Think of it as a critical safety check-up for the large, living structures on your property.

What We Look For: The 5-Point Hazard Assessment
During an inspection, our team from Able Tree Care meticulously checks for these key risk factors:

Dead or Dying Wood: Large, dead branches are unpredictable and prone to falling, especially during storms. We identify and recommend the safe removal of these hazards.

Structural Defects: This includes cracks or splits in the trunk or major limbs, weak branch attachments (like tight “V” shaped forks), and cavities or decay pockets that compromise the tree’s strength.

Disease and Pest Infestation: From fungal growth at the base to signs of wood-boring insects like beetles, we spot the early indicators of problems that can weaken a tree from the inside out.

Root Problems: A tree is only as stable as its root system. We look for signs of root rot, damaged roots from construction, soil settling, or leaning that indicates the tree is no longer securely anchored.

Environmental Stress: Changes in soil grade, recent lightning strikes, or even the condition of leaves on the ground can tell a story about a tree’s health and future stability.
