Ryals Emergency Restoration, we offer quick, affordable, and essential tree removal services in Mississippi, to help you, your family, and your neighbors avoid any more disasters.

 

Who is Responsible for Fallen Tree Removal?

 
 

If a fallen tree has impacted your home, homeowners insurance generally covers damage to homes and other structures during storms. If your neighbor's tree damaged your home, your insurance provider may try and collect on your neighbor's insurance and reimburse you later.

 

If a tree has fallen in the street, it’s up to the local municipality or the state to remove the tree. The state is responsible for state roads, the county for county roads and municipalities for municipal roads just like with road maintenance. 

 

If power lines have been damaged due to a fallen tree, your electric company needs to step in. Due to safety concerns, power is turned off, crews work to untangle the wires from the tree, and then power can be restored.

Should I Remove Dead Trees?

 

If you notice a tree might be dying, it’s wise to call in an experienced arborist for an assessment. The sooner you catch the problem, the less costly tree removal is, and the more likely you are to save it, for example:

 

• Dead trees attract pests

• Tree diseases are contagious

• Dead trees are more likely to topple over, destroying your home or property

• The tree’s integrity is compromised by decay and decomposition 

 

Even if your tree has died from a situation where it wasn’t receiving the proper amount of water or nutrients, you should still consider having it removed.
