In this WTAE news segment, Miles Stephens of Davey's Pittsburgh office talks about some of the impacts excessive rain can have on your trees and how you can help your trees get through those soggy spells.

Arborists say it's a trend that will likely continue if summer storms dump heavy amounts of water on the region and smother tree roots.
