Emergency Tree Removal

What Is a Tree Service Emergency?
In emergency situations, and especially after a storm, the surrounding area where trees have fallen is extremely unsafe. Trees and branches may be under extreme pressure – if they break, they can cause severe injury or death. Other trees or limbs may be hanging and ready to fall. Power lines may be down, and the ground or surroundings may be electrified.
If you experience any of the following, call us right away!

What to Do in an Emergency
Steps to take before we arrive
When a tree emergency happens, your safety is the top priority. Knowing the right steps to take before help arrives can make a big difference in minimizing risks and protecting your property. Here’s what we recommend you do to stay safe until our team gets to you:
Vacate the Premises Immediately: If you suspect a tree is about to fall or if one has already fallen on your home, leave the area immediately.
Stay Away from Hazardous Areas: Avoid going near the fallen tree, especially if it is leaning or in contact with power lines, as it could pose electrical or structural risks.
Be Aware of Electrical or Gas Hazards: If you suspect downed power lines, electrical sparks, or a gas leak, move to a safe distance immediately. Avoid the area and notify the utility company or emergency services to handle the situation safely.
Contact Us ASAP: Call our 24/7 emergency line, and our team will prioritize your situation to provide the quickest response.
Do Not Attempt DIY Solutions: Avoid trying to remove branches or debris yourself, as this could cause further damage or injury. Wait for our trained professionals to handle the situation safely.
Document the Damage: Take photos of the affected areas from a safe distance to assist with insurance claims later.
Notify Your Insurance: Inform your homeowner’s insurance company about the incident to begin the claims process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Expert answers about emergency tree service in Northern Virginia
Dealing with a tree emergency raises a lot of questions, especially about safety, insurance, and what to expect. Whether you’re facing a fallen tree right now or preparing for future storms, here are straight answers to the most important questions about emergency tree service in Northern Virginia.
No. If a tree is causing immediate danger or damage to your property, have it addressed right away. Document everything with photos and videos before work begins and keep all receipts for your claim. Most insurance companies understand that emergency situations require immediate action to prevent further damage.
Generally, you're responsible for any tree damage on your property, regardless of who owns the tree. This means you (or your insurance) would cover the cost of emergency tree removal from your property. We recommend documenting everything and contacting your insurance company to understand your specific coverage.
Yes, this can be an emergency situation. Lightning strikes can cause internal damage that isn't immediately visible and can make a tree structurally unsafe. We'll assess the damage and determine if immediate action is needed to prevent the tree from failing.
Yes, but we'll need permission from both property owners before beginning work. In emergency situations, we can remove the portion on your property to address immediate safety concerns while coordinating with your neighbor for the rest.
Safety and property protection are our top priorities. Before any emergency work begins, we carefully assess the situation, create a detailed plan, and take extensive precautions to prevent additional damage.
However, emergency situations can be unpredictable, especially when dealing with storm-damaged or compromised trees. While rare, sometimes minor additional damage is unavoidable when removing a hazardous tree to prevent more serious damage. That's why we carry comprehensive insurance coverage and maintain all required licenses and certifications. If any damage occurs during our work, our insurance will cover it completely.
