Whether a tree has fallen on your home, is leaning dangerously, or has damaged power lines, we're here to help.
Common Tree Emergency Situations
Tree emergencies come in many forms, each requiring immediate professional attention. Recognizing these situations and calling for help quickly can prevent further damage and protect lives.
- •Storm-Damaged Trees: High winds, heavy rain, and lightning can cause trees to split, uproot, or drop large branches onto structures or vehicles.
- •Fallen Trees: Trees that have completely fallen and are blocking driveways, damaging buildings, or creating safety hazards require immediate removal.
- •Leaning Trees: Trees that suddenly begin leaning significantly may be at risk of falling and should be evaluated and removed if necessary.
- •Hanging Branches: Large branches that are partially broken but still attached (widow makers) are extremely dangerous and must be removed immediately.
- •Trees on Power Lines: Trees or branches in contact with power lines create serious electrical hazards requiring immediate professional response.
- •Root Failure: Trees that have uprooted due to saturated soil or root decay need emergency stabilization or removal.
Our Emergency Response Process
When you call us for emergency tree services, we spring into action immediately. Our dispatcher gathers essential information about the situation and dispatches the nearest available crew to your location. We typically arrive within hours of your call, often much sooner for life-threatening situations.
Upon arrival, our team conducts a rapid safety assessment to identify immediate hazards and determine the best approach for resolution. We secure the area to prevent injuries and begin the process of removing or stabilizing the hazardous tree. For trees that have fallen on structures, we carefully remove the tree in sections to minimize additional damage.
After addressing the immediate emergency, we can provide follow-up services such as complete tree removal, stump grinding, and debris cleanup. We also work with insurance companies and can provide documentation and photos for your claim.
Preventing Tree Emergencies
While some tree emergencies are unavoidable, many can be prevented with proper maintenance and proactive care. Regular tree inspections can identify potential hazards before they become emergencies. Dead or dying trees, large dead branches, cracks in trunks or major limbs, and trees with root problems should all be addressed promptly.
Routine pruning and trimming remove weak or damaged branches that could fail during storms. Proper tree care also strengthens overall tree structure and health, making trees more resistant to wind and weather damage. If you're concerned about the condition of your trees, schedule a consultation with our certified arborists. We can assess your trees and recommend preventive measures to reduce the risk of future emergencies.
