When the Storm Passes, the Danger Might Not Be Over
In the wake of a major storm, it’s easy to think the worst is over once the winds die down. However, if you have damaged or leaning trees on your property, the real danger could be just beginning. At Ultimate Tree Cutters Ltd, we often receive urgent calls after the storm—when cracked branches, split trunks, or uprooted trees become ticking time bombs.
Here’s why it’s essential to act fast when trees are compromised by storms.
1. Damaged Trees Are Unpredictable
Even if a tree is still standing, internal cracks, root damage, or canopy stress may make it dangerously unstable. A second gust of wind—or even a light breeze—can cause large limbs to fall without warning, putting people, pets, cars, or buildings at risk.
2. Delays Increase Liability and Property Damage
If a hazardous tree is left standing and later causes damage or injury, you may be held liable as the property owner. Additionally, falling trees can take down fences, roofs, and power lines—causing far more costly repairs than the initial tree removal would have.
3. Fast Action Helps Recovery
Removing damaged trees quickly helps clear the way for other storm recovery efforts—repairs, landscaping, and insurance assessments. Our emergency team responds 24/7 across Auckland, helping you restore safety and peace of mind as soon as possible.
4. Arborist Inspections Can Spot Hidden Risks
Some damage isn’t immediately visible from the ground. Our certified arborists perform safety checks, using professional climbing and equipment to assess structural integrity, decay, and root damage before recommending removal or pruning.
