Uprooted Tree Removal — Seattle Metro Dispatch
Uprooted trees are the signature failure mode of Puget Sound windstorms. Saturated soil, shallow root plates, and a hard south wind — and the whole tree tips.
Root ball considerations
Uprooted trees leave a large soil crater. Dispatch will ask whether you want the root ball removed and the hole backfilled, or just the tree taken.
Underground lines
Root balls sometimes pull up gas or water service. Don't work around them until utilities have been called.
Before you hire
For any tree job, ask the contractor for proof of current license and general liability insurance before work begins, and confirm coverage details with your homeowners insurance carrier. This is standard consumer guidance for any tree work — not a claim about the specific crew dispatched to you.
