Storms in Brisbane can cause major tree damage. If you see these warning signs after heavy rain or wind, contact our emergency response team right away.
1. The Tree Is Leaning Significantly
Sudden leaning may mean root damage. If it’s near your house or driveway, it could fall without warning.
2. Major Cracks in the Trunk or Limbs
Deep splits or visible trunk fractures signal instability. Our qualified arborists can inspect and safely remove dangerous trees.
3. Uprooted or Exposed Roots
Lifted or exposed root systems are extremely unstable. If the tree is partially uprooted, don’t wait to act—emergency lopping or removal may be needed.
4. Hanging or Broken Branches
These are serious fall hazards. We can safely trim or lop branches before they cause injury or damage. Learn more about tree trimming and shaping.
5. The Tree Is Touching Power Lines
Never approach or try to remove trees entangled with power lines. Call emergency services, then our team for certified storm recovery work.
