Emergency Situations We Handle

When a Tree Can't Wait

Not every fallen limb is an emergency, but some situations require immediate response. Tree Wizard prioritizes jobs with active safety threats.

Tree on House or Roof

A tree on your structure creates immediate exposure risk — from weather, from structural damage, and from the tree shifting. We work quickly to remove the tree and help protect the opening until repairs can happen.

Blocked Driveway or Access

A fallen tree blocking your driveway, a business entrance, or emergency vehicle access needs to come out fast. We can cut and clear efficiently to restore access.

Hanging Limbs & Storm Damage

Hanging limbs — called "widow makers" — can fall without warning. After a storm, broken limbs still attached to the tree are among the most dangerous situations we see.

Leaning Trees After Storm

A tree that shifted or began leaning during a storm may be partially uprooted. These situations are unstable and should be evaluated and addressed quickly.

Documentation & Insurance

We Document the Work for Your Claim

Emergency tree removal is often insurance-eligible when a tree has damaged a covered structure. Tree Wizard photographs the scene on arrival, documents work progress, and provides a detailed invoice — all of which support the claim review process.

  • Photos of the damage before, during, and after removal
  • Detailed written invoice with scope of work
  • Clear description of how the tree fell and what it damaged
  • Separate documentation for temporary protection if applied

What to Do While You Wait

If a tree has fallen on your home or structure: get everyone out of the affected area, avoid the rooms directly under or next to the tree, and do not attempt to move the tree. If utilities are involved — power lines especially — call the utility company before anyone approaches the area.

Call us at (573) 442-1838. We'll talk through what's happening and get there as fast as we can.
