What to Do When a Tree Falls on Your Property
Ensure Immediate Safety First
If a tree falls on your property, your first priority is safety. Call 911 immediately if there are injuries, downed power lines, gas leaks, or if the tree is blocking a public roadway. Do not approach a fallen tree if there is any possibility of electrical, structural, or utility-related danger.
Do Not Approach or Climb on a Fallen or Leaning Tree
A fallen or leaning tree is extremely dangerous and can shift, roll, or fall further without warning. Never approach, climb on, cut, or attempt to move a tree that is leaning, partially fallen, or under tension. Even trees that appear stable can suddenly move, causing serious injury or death.
Experience teaches us that what looks stable can still be dangerous.
Many injuries occur because people underestimate how unstable trees can be after storms or structural failure. If a tree has fallen or is leaning, keep everyone clear of the area and contact professionals trained to handle these hazards safely.
Contact Utilities Before Approaching the Tree
If the fallen tree is touching or near power lines, gas lines, or other utilities, do not attempt to move it. Contact the appropriate electric, gas, or water utility so hazards can be secured before any cleanup begins. Trees located in public roads or right-of-way should be reported to the proper city or county department.
Call a Professional Emergency Tree Service
Once the area is secure and utilities have addressed any hazards, contact a licensed emergency tree service such as Mr. Rick’s Tree Service at 931-368-6200. Emergency tree removal requires proper equipment and experience to prevent further damage to your property, nearby structures, or surrounding areas.
Document Damage & Contact Your Insurance Company
If it is safe to do so, document all visible damage before any tree removal begins. Take clear photos and videos of the fallen tree, impacted structures, vehicles, fences, and surrounding areas. Contact your homeowner’s insurance company before the tree is removed to report the damage and receive guidance on next steps.
At this stage, Mr. Rick’s Tree Service can assist by helping you document the damage properly and by providing photos, details, and service information commonly requested by insurance companies. After the tree is removed, document any additional damage that may have been hidden. Clear before-and-after documentation helps prevent claim issues and keeps the process moving smoothly.
