When to Call for Emergency Tree Service
Not every tree situation is an emergency — but these are:
- Tree or large limb on your home, garage, or vehicle — immediate structural risk that requires same-day response
- Hanging or broken limbs (widow makers) — storm-split limbs suspended overhead pose serious injury risk
- Uprooted or leaning trees — a tree shifted at the root can fall without warning
- Tree on or near power lines — never attempt to remove this yourself; call us and your utility provider
- Blocked driveways or roads — storm debris preventing access to your property
- Post-storm hazard assessment — not sure if a tree is safe? Our ISA Certified Arborists can assess and document damage for insurance purposes
What to Do While You Wait
Once you've called us, keep everyone away from the affected area. Do not attempt to move large limbs or trunks yourself — even trees that appear stable can shift suddenly. If a tree has contacted power lines, stay inside and call ComEd or your utility provider in addition to our emergency line.
Our Emergency Tree Service Process
When you call our emergency line, here's what happens:
- We assess the situation over the phone to determine crew and equipment needs
- An emergency crew is dispatched — typically within 1–2 hours for active structural damage
- On arrival, we secure the area and assess all hazards before any cutting begins
- We remove the immediate threat first, then address cleanup and full removal
- We provide documentation of damage and work performed for insurance claims
