Assess for Safety First

Safety is the most important step. Do not approach the fallen tree, especially if it’s near power lines. Downed lines are extremely dangerous and can be deadly. If you suspect any power lines are involved, call 911 immediately. We can help you assess the situation, but your safety is our top priority.

Document Everything for Insurance

Once you’ve confirmed the area is safe, document the damage. Take clear photos and videos from multiple angles, capturing the fallen tree and any damage to your house, car, or landscaping. This visual evidence will be vital when you file a claim with your insurance company, streamlining the process.

Don't Attempt a DIY Solution

While it might be tempting to try to clear the tree yourself, this is highly dangerous. Fallen trees can be unpredictable and under immense pressure, and cutting them improperly can cause serious injury or further damage. Professionals have the necessary training and equipment to handle the situation safely.
