Why this quick scan matters in North Texas spring

Spring is when small problems show up fast—wind, rain, and new growth can turn a weak limb into a roof hit, a driveway hazard, or a power-line issue. This checklist is meant to help you spot the “call-worthy” stuff in a couple minutes, not read a long article.

Roof/Driveway risks: Heavy limbs and rub points can cause damage quickly during storms.
Hidden defects: Cracks and deadwood aren’t always obvious until the weather stress hits.
Power-line danger: If anything is near lines, it’s a pro call—don’t DIY it.

If you checked 2+ items, it’s worth having a pro confirm what’s urgent, what can wait, and what prevents storm damage.

What does “2+ items” mean?

If you check two or more boxes, it usually means there’s enough risk to justify a quick inspection and a plan.

Should I trim anything near power lines myself?

No—don’t DIY anything near power lines. If a limb is touching a line or looks too close, **contact your power company first**. Once it’s confirmed safe (or the line is handled), PTC can take care of the trimming or removal.

What happens when I call?

We’ll ask a couple quick questions, confirm urgency, and schedule the next available inspection or service visit.
