CASE #MS-101 // FLORIDA STORM DEPLOYMENT (PENSACOLA / MILTON & GULF COAST)

Uprooted Mature Pine Across Metal Roof & Front Porch

Saturated coastal soil and severe storm gusts caused this massive pine to heave from its root plate and crash directly onto the home’s metal roof ridge and front porch overhang. Mark stabilized the upturned root ball to prevent roll-back, rigged the upper canopy in balanced sections, and lifted the trunk clear of the roof trusses with zero secondary structural damage.
