A fallen tree is one of the worst things to be dealing with after a natural disaster. Small trees rarely do damage. Unfortunately, the same thing cannot be said about large trees. No one knows when a tree will fall, even if it is leaning slightly to the left or right. While you may have an idea, you feel it is unnecessary to prepare for the inevitable. Being prepared is the only way to be ready when the tree comes down.
The best way to deal with a leaning tree is to have it removed. One of the main reasons, homeowners choose to not have their damaged, leaning, and diseased trees removed from their properties is cost. Having one large tree removed could set you back anywhere between $1,000 and $2,000. Arborist services are expensive. In fact, too expensive for many property owners.

Is Asbestos Testing Required For Fallen Tree Removal?
When a tree falls onto a home with asbestos-based insulation and other materials, it disrupts the once stable asbestos fibers. The Environmental Protection Agency “EPA” warns against the disruption of asbestos fibers in building structures. Even though this is not your doing, it is your responsibility to ensure it is handled properly.
Asbestos has been linked to mesothelioma, a type of cancer that targets the thin linings of the lungs and abdomen.
All homes built before 1980 must be tested for asbestos when damaged by a fallen tree. Our Asbestos Removal Los Angeles experts can perform the test. When the results are back, we will implement an asbestos removal strategy specifically for your home.

Disturbed asbestos is no joke. In fact, everyone who comes into contact with the loose fibers is at risk of developing mesothelioma. We recommend vacating the home immediately after the tree falls. Once the asbestos fibers enter the lungs via mucus, the respiratory tissue becomes irritated.

We will treat your home like it is ours while you are away. Our goal is to prevent the asbestos fibers from spreading throughout your home. We will section off the home to protect the areas not impacted by the fallen tree.
