What is an Emergency Tree Removal Service?

Emergency tree removal services are emergency services that may include emergency tree cutting or emergency tree removal of broken branches, dead trees, fallen trees, and even hazardous tree removal, which constitute severe safety risks in a property. Such services may also include rubbish removal for a fallen tree. It is an emergency tree service done outside of normal business hours in most cases. Its goal is to have fallen trees and branches safely removed from a house, property, or site.

An emergency tree service or emergency services may need the right tools to provide services on power lines or have a tree removed after storm damage to prevent property damages from the affected tree. Special cutting tools like axes, hatchets, and chainsaws may be used to remove the tree in a safe manner. Brush grubbers, mowers, and stump grinders may be needed for stump grinding of trees. In rare cases, a bulldozer service may be needed to remove trees within the house or property. In such a case, a tree service company may need to protect people and properties nearby.

What Would Require Emergency Tree Removal Services?

Emergency services to remove trees may be required in the following situations:

• If falling dead branches or hazardous trees may cause personal injury or property damage at the site
• If garden trees and their branches are close and caused damage to power lines, roofs, and walkways
• If trees at the site are aged or sick and may collapse anytime
• If trees in the garden pose health safety risks not only to humans but to other trees
• If trees obstruct a critical view; for example, fallen trees in Sydney prevent drivers from seeing oncoming traffic
• If weak trees and their branches are damaged or uprooted after high winds, strong winds, or a storm, posing a health and safety risk

Looking at the abovementioned scenario, the main requirement for an emergency tree removal service in Sydney is the presence of risk or unexpected danger at the site, especially after storms. It means removing an eyesore or nuisance tree does not constitute an emergency. It is more of a landscape issue.

Yet, emergency tree removal services are not limited to safety cases only. Homeowners can also seek an emergency tree service if they notice an unsightly tree before an open house or the sale of a home. They only need to validate the reason for such urgent needs. Arborists may also recommend emergency tree removal services for big trees that developed damaged and hollow trunks.

Safety Standards on Emergency Tree Removal in Sydney

The Sydney Local Council strongly recommends that only trained arborists should perform tree removal during emergencies. It is to ensure proper work and safety. Removing trees in crowded areas or near power structures can be extremely dangerous and hard to perform. On the other hand, overhead services have high possibilities of electrocution, physical injuries, and power interruption.

Safe Work Australia published a guide to safely managing the risks of trimming and removal works for trees. The guide covers the safety standards for emergency removal services in Sydney.

Accurately Assess the Hazard and Safety Actions

The first step is to accurately assess the hazard and safety actions needed to contain the dangers in the situation. It means a fast response to an emergency call and dealing with an emergency cutting service of a tree in the most efficient and timely manner.

Carry Out All Possible Works Safely

To carry out all possible works safely, it is best to maintain a safe distance between the tree and other people. These include bystanders, crew, household members, or passersby. The tree company should provide clear access routes, enforce exclusion zones, and implement a traffic management plan during the emergency tree removal.

Climbing Rules

Always set two pints of attachments when climbing trees. For example, use a climbing rope and a flip line using correct knots when cutting or removing trees. Workers should wear manufacturer-recommended climbing spikes. It is to avoid damaging tree tissues that can result in future hazards and infections.

De-Energise the Power Line

The most important safety standard for emergency services near a power line is to de-energise it. It is to avoid electrocution, power line damages, and other asset damages within the vicinity. Contractors should communicate and work with the electric network operator and spotters to eliminate dangers and hazards.

Who Do You Call for Emergency Tree Services?

The need to remove a tree during emergency situations may happen all the time. The first one you may need to call is the State Emergency Service in New South Wales at phone number 132 500. They can best help homeowners if a tree has fallen into the house. Alternatively, homeowners can also call tree companies for emergency services. Besides helping them remove the tree safely, they can also provide a debris clearing service.

How Much Does Tree Removal Cost in Sydney?

The average estimates for the removal fees of Sydney trees depend on many factors. These include the condition, location, and size of the tree.

• Removing small trees with a trunk of eight metres or below may cost anywhere between $150.00 to $500.00.
• Removing medium trees with a trunk of nine metres to twenty-three metres may cost anywhere between $200.00 to $1,000.00.

Of course, night and weekend jobs will command a higher surcharge, especially in times of distress.
