Winter storms in Springfield, Oregon bring rain, wind, and sometimes ice, weakening trees and increasing the risk of falling branches or entire trees toppling over. For homeowners, this means a heightened risk of property damage, as falling trees can damage roofs, siding, windows, and vehicles parked nearby.

To protect your home or business from tree-related winter storm damage, inspect any trees around your property before the storm season. Look for signs of decay, dead branches, or leaning trunks, which indicate a tree may be unstable. Hiring an arborist to assess and prune large trees can reduce the chance of falling limbs.

Consider creating a safe zone around your home. Remove branches that hang over the roof or lean close to the house. Also, parking vehicles away from large trees during a storm can help prevent damage from falling limbs.

Keep gutters clear of leaves and debris. Clogged gutters can lead to water buildup when branches or other materials fall onto the roof during a storm. By taking these steps, you can reduce the risks of property damage from trees and help ensure that your home weathers Springfield’s winter storms safely and securely.
