When powerful storms sweep through Piedmont and the surrounding areas, they can leave trees in rough shape. At Cutts Tree Service, we specialize in storm damage tree removal and 24/7 emergency tree services to help protect your home and property. Here’s how you can spot storm damage in your trees and determine if removal might be necessary. Signs of Storm Damage to Look For After a storm, take a close look at your trees. Common signs of damage include: • Broken or hanging limbs • Split or cracked trunks • Leaning trees that have shifted from their original position • Uprooted or exposed roots • Stripped bark or missing branches Some of this damage may seem minor, but it can lead to long-term structural weakness or make the tree more vulnerable to pests and disease. Hidden Damage Can Be Just as Dangerous Not all storm damage is easy to spot. Trees may look stable but have internal cracks or root damage that compromise their integrity. If a tree is missing large sections of bark, has jagged wounds, or shows signs of rot after a storm, it could be at risk of falling in the future. Even trees that appear to have survived may become hazardous if their natural balance or root structure was affected. That’s why it’s important to consult with a local arborist if you’re unsure. When to Consider Tree Removal If a damaged tree is close to your home, a power line, a fence, or any high-traffic area, it may need to be removed—even if the damage doesn’t seem severe. Safety should always come first. Trees with split trunks, large dead limbs, or significant root damage typically cannot be saved and should be removed as soon as possible.
