root zone of the tree.All utilities are underground and could be damaged by the tree
roots.
The main trunk of the tree also has signs of infection and resinosis.
Tree Risk Rating:
High;the utility and water line are all underground in the critical root zone of the tree
Moderate;the house is within a half of the total height of the tree,and is therefore well
within striking distance in the event of whole or partial failure.The likelihood of whole
or partial failure of this tree is probable.It is very likely that the failed tree would strike
this house,causing minor damage to the structure.
Overall risk rating High
Mitigation Options:Removal,with no residual risk.No other mitigation options
available,because it wouldn't change the risk rating.It is recommended that the
homeowner plants two trees of similar species to retain canopy cover.

or email should you have any additional questions or to schedule an appointment for
removal.
