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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Tree Wizard responds to emergency tree situations throughout Columbia and Central Missouri. If a tree has fallen on your home, is blocking access, or poses an immediate danger, call us directly at (573) 442-1838.
- First, make sure everyone is out of harm's way. Do not attempt to move the tree yourself. If there's any risk of structural collapse or utility involvement, leave the building. Call your insurance company to report the damage, then call us. We can respond quickly and document the situation for your claim.
- If a tree from your property falls and damages your structure, your homeowner's insurance typically covers removal and repair. If a neighbor's tree falls on your property, your insurance usually still handles it first — then may pursue the neighbor's policy. We provide full job documentation to support claims.
- Same-day response is typical for situations involving structures, blocked access, or immediate safety threats. After major regional storms, demand is heavy and we triage by severity — call (573) 442-1838 and describe the situation so we can prioritize correctly. We don't promise unrealistic windows; we tell you the real timeline.
- Yes. We photograph the scene on arrival, document the work throughout the job, and provide a detailed invoice that supports your insurance claim review. We do this as a standard part of emergency and storm response work.
- Emergencies include trees that have fallen on or into structures, trees blocking driveways or critical access, large hanging limbs over occupied areas, trees leaning dangerously after storm damage, and uprooted trees threatening utilities or foundations.
- Yes. Our normal hours are 7 AM–5 PM, but we're available 24/7 for true emergencies — trees on structures, blocked critical access, or hazards threatening people or property. Call (573) 442-1838 anytime and explain the situation; we'll give you a straight answer on response timing.
