Most tree removal jobs in San Francisco could have been smaller (and cheaper) if the homeowner had caught the signs earlier. This guide breaks down the 5 most common warning signs we see in San Francisco homes — and what to do when you spot them.
branches with no leaves during growing season, brittle bark, or visible decay is the earliest warning sign we see in San Francisco homes. It often appears months before the larger problem becomes obvious, which makes it the most valuable indicator to catch.
tree leaning more than it did last year, especially after storms shows up next in the typical progression. It tends to be more localized than the first sign and gives you a clue about where in the home the problem is concentrated.
Third indicator: vertical cracks or splits in the main trunk, often a sign of internal decay. By this point, the issue has usually been developing for 3–6 months. Addressing it now is still much cheaper than waiting until it’s visible from across the room.
Fourth: roots lifting up out of the soil, signaling instability. At this stage, repair costs typically double compared to addressing the earlier signs. Don’t wait past this point.
Fifth and most serious: mushroom growth at the base, bark beetles, or hollow spots inside the trunk. This indicates an advanced stage of the issue and often involves repair work beyond the immediate area. Address it immediately.
