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.
Sign four is usually the moment Idaho Falls homeowners take action: roots lifting up out of the soil, signaling instability. By the time this shows up, surrounding areas are usually also affected.
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.
