SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Saturated soils and high winds are a recipe for more falling trees. Two months after Sacramento earned the nickname, City of Fallen Trees, conditions are ripe for more damage to roofs and vehicles.
"It’s definitely not going to be as bad as it was in January, but I do expect some trees to fall over," said Max Echols, owner of the tree service company Tree Max.
Echols said his company received a flurry of calls after the January storms.
Echols says now is the time for homeowners to check their trees for any signs of failure. Leaning or shifting of the trunk or cracking of the soil near the roots are indications that the tree could fail.
State Farm public affairs officer Amy Harris told ABC10 that claimholders should take a close look at their homeowners insurance and call their agent.
"If a tree falls on your property, but doesn't do any damage to either your home or your automobile, there is no coverage to have that removed," said Harris.
However, Harris said if it does do damage to any covered property, either home or auto, there is coverage provided for that removal.
Comprehensive auto insurance should cover your car if a tree falls on it, Harris said.
