If a tree falls over, it can damage your home, car, power lines, patio, lawn, gardens, and more. Anything in a falling tree\u2019s path is bound for destruction. After all, trees are often very large and incredibly heavy. A tree that is showing signs that it could be on the brink of cracking, splitting, or collapsing should be inspected by a licensed and insured <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.acompletetreecare.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Indianapolis tree service company<\/a> as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\">Common Signs That Suggest a Tree Might Fall Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Leaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The number one sign of a tree that might fall over soon is simply, visible leaning. A leaning tree is not always a threat, however, it should always be cause for alarm. Have a leaning tree assessed by a professional tree care specialist to ensure that it is still in a safe and stable condition. In many cases, professionals will recommend removing a leaning tree since it will only get worse overtime. So, although a leaning tree may not be an immediate safety hazard, it will be eventually. This means it is better to just remove it when the leaning becomes evident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Bark and Foliage Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If a tree is excessively shedding its leaves and branches, or has bark falling off of the trunk, it could be a sign of illness or pest infestation. These two factors can cause a tree to weaken overtime, and eventually render it a liability. A weakened tree can be knocked over in a severe rain or windstorm, or as a result of inner trunk or root decay. In fact, tree roots are another common sign of a soon-to-fall tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Rotting Tree Roots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If the tree roots are exposed at the base of your tree, and you notice they are growing fungus or decaying, it is not a good sign. If a root system is jeopardized, it can cause a great deal of instability in a tree. The root system plays several major roles in the growth and survival of a tree, but it also serves as an anchor to the ground. If the roots begin to deteriorate, that anchorage and stability is lost. This means the tree could fall at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Do you have any leaning or hazardous trees on your property that have suffered storm damaged? <\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.acompletetreecare.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\">Contact Complete Tree Care<\/a> at 317-783-2518 for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acompletetreecare.com\/storm-damage.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">storm damage cleanup<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acompletetreecare.com\/tree-services\/tree-removal.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tree removal services in Indianapolis, Indiana<\/a> you can trust.
