Tyler McClure Tree Services & Damage Restoration in Sumner, WA

Ice dams form when heat from your attic melts snow on the roof, which then refreezes at the eaves, creating a barrier that traps water. This water can seep under shingles and cause drywall damage inside your home. While tree care services like trimming overhanging branches can reduce shade on your roof (helping snow melt more evenly), the primary solution involves improving attic insulation and ventilation. Tyler McClure can assess your property's tree canopy and recommend pruning to minimize shading, which supports your roof's natural melting patterns.

Basement flooding from heavy rains or monsoon events is often worsened by poor drainage around your home. Landscape maintenance, such as regrading your yard to slope away from the foundation, cleaning gutters, and installing French drains, can redirect water away from your basement. Tyler McClure can evaluate your property's grading and drainage systems, then perform necessary landscaping work to reduce the risk of future flooding, protecting your home's structure and interior.

Yes, tree cabling and bracing are effective for stabilizing trees with structural weaknesses, such as split trunks or heavy limbs, that could fall during storms and cause water damage by breaking through your roof or gutters. This technique uses steel cables or rods to support the tree's structure, reducing the risk of failure. Tyler McClure can inspect your trees after a storm, identify hazards, and install cabling or bracing to secure them, helping prevent property damage and the need for water damage restoration.
