When a tree is damaged by a storm or disease, it can also cause harm to your house if it topples over. Calling an emergency tree service right away will help you with the cleanup process, but it’s not the only step you need to take. Below, J D Mills Expert Tree Service, located in High Point, NC, shares what to do when this situation occurs.

Call Your Insurance Company

As soon as the incident happens, call your home insurance provider to report the damage and submit a claim. Do your best to document the problem with pictures and specific details about the damage. The insurance representative you speak to over the phone will walk you through the process.

Next, you’ll need to hire an emergency tree service to remove the fallen branches from your property. Many tree removal companies provide around-the-clock service for these emergency situations. Look for a company with all the necessary licensing and experience, as well as favorable online reviews. They should also have the equipment needed to perform the job safely, such as harnesses, hard hats, chainsaws, and stump grinders.

Schedule Home Repairs

Once the tree has been removed, you’ll need to hire additional contractors to repair your home, fencing, and landscaping. Follow the same principles as listed above for finding reliable contractors to work on your home. They should be fully qualified and experienced in their field.

Fortunately, there are ways to prevent this from happening in the future. Experienced arborists can identify trees that need to be trimmed or removed because they’re diseased, dying, or too close to your home.
