Step 1: Stay Safe — Don’t Approach the Tree

After a storm:

•           Don’t touch or walk under damaged branches

•           Keep pets and people away from the area

•           Look for downed power lines and report them immediately

Even if the tree “looks stable,” broken limbs and root damage can cause sudden collapse hours later.

Step 2: Document the Damage

Before any cleanup, take photos of:

•           Fallen branches

•           Roof or fence damage

•           Blocked driveways or roads

•           Uprooted roots or leaning trunks

This is crucial for insurance and council reports.

Step 3: Call a 24/7 Emergency Tree Removal Specialist

Time is critical. We recommend calling a qualified arborist, not a general handyman, because:

•           They’re trained to assess risk

•           They have the equipment for safe removal

•           They’re fully insured — protecting you from liability

Langham’s Tree Services offers 24/7 emergency tree removal across the Mid North Coast.

If the tree damages your home, car, or fencing, most comprehensive insurance policies will cover:

•           Emergency tree removal

1. The Tree Is Visibly Leaning

A tree that leans suddenly or continues to lean further after rain or wind may have unstable roots. This is a common issue in coastal towns like Kempsey and Nambucca Heads, where sandy soils offer poor grip.

2. Cracks or Splits in the Trunk

Look for deep cracks, cavities, or missing bark. These may indicate internal decay or structural failure.

3. Dead or Dropping Limbs

If your tree is frequently shedding large limbs — especially without storms — it may be dying from the inside out.

This is a major safety hazard.

4. Fungus or Rot at the Base

Mushrooms or decay at the trunk base usually signal root rot, which weakens the tree’s anchor and increases the risk of sudden collapse.

5. Storm or Termite Damage

If your tree took damage during recent storms or has signs of infestation (like boreholes), it may be unstable and unpredictable.
