Common Tree Removal Risks
Removing a tree can be dangerous or even fatal. At Kleber C’s Danbury Tree Service, we will discuss some of the obstacles you may encounter when removing trees yourself.
Obstacles You May Face When Removing a Tree
Removing a tree from your yard is more than just taking your chainsaw and ladder to work. In fact, every tree has different risks, so it’s important to know what steps to take. When the tree is removed according to personal circumstances. The necessary precautions and proven technical knowledge can save everyone unnecessary frustration.
Let’s take a look at some factors to consider when removing a tree:
Not Possessing the Equipment You Need
First of all, never try to handle wood with a ladder. Many injuries are caused by this common mistake-serious injuries, including broken bones, and sometimes even death.
Removing a tree requires more than a simple chain saw. Safety gear, tree harnesses, ropes and proper methods are part of the process. After the trees are felled, cleaning equipment makes the work easier, such as cranes (sometimes), wood chippers and stump grinders.
Weakened Wood
There is a problem with removing dead or dying trees. The longer a dead tree stands, the weaker it is, and it is potentially dangerous to the environment. This also applies to the removal of trees. Break them down by accidentally dropping branches, making them easier to break. It must be handled with care, otherwise serious injuries may result.
Miscalculations When Cutting
Videos circulating on the World Wide Web show us many situations where a kind landlord tried to cut down his own tree without knowing the procedure. Over and over again, everyone in the video and everyone who watched the video online watched in horror, because the tree eventually appeared in all places that were not expected. Destroyed roofs and damaged houses are common endings of this situation. The person with the saw may scratch his head and wonder what might be wrong.
Overhead Power Lines
Not all trees are near power lines, but removing trees can be a dangerous task. You may not realize this, but if live wires are not properly insulated, you can conduct electricity through the tree. If someone touches a tree, it will get an electric shock.
Always have your tree removal done safely and hire a local tree removal professional to do the work.
