No one can predict the severity of storms.   However, we have peformed hundreds of storm response jobs and we know trees in these siutations.  We understand the stress people feel when structure damage occurs.  Once RTEC is on the site, you and your house are in good hands.  Our first goal is to safely remove the tree to allow the repair of the structure to begin.

 

According to a statistic:

 

" For hardwood trees, such as oak, maple, birch and ash, a three-second gust of 74 mph will break large (greater than 1 inch) branches, a 91 mph will uproot trees, and a 110 mph will snap tree trunks.

 

For softwood trees such as pine, spruce, fir and hemlock, a three-second gust of 75 mph will break large branches, 87 mph will uproot trees, and 104 mph will snap tree trunks.

 

Examination of this data revealed that fallen trees accounted for 407 deaths between 1995 and 2007. Fallen trees or limbs caused 53 percent of all deaths from thunderstorms in this period, 46 percent of the deaths from nonconvective high winds, 31 percent of all tropical cyclone deaths, and 4 percent of the deaths from tornadoes."


RTEC has a storm emergency protocol that ensures safe practices during these stressful events.
