Tree on a house, car or power line? Get clear of it. Call 911 for injuries or downed lines, and your utility for any tree touching wires.
Emergency stepsAll tree problems
Act now
A tree fell on my house
Get everyone out of the damaged part of the house.
Act soon
A tree is leaning toward my house
A lean that has been there for years, with the trunk curving back upward, is usually the tree's natural growth and not an emergency.
Act soon
There's a dead tree near my house
If a dead tree is tall enough to reach your house, driveway, a road or a neighbor's property, plan to have it removed soon.
Act now
A fallen tree is blocking my driveway
If the tree is touching any wires, stay back and call the utility.
Act soon
Branches are broken or hanging
A broken branch still caught in the tree (a "hanger") can drop without warning, days or weeks after a storm.
Act soon
My tree was damaged in a storm
A storm-damaged tree can usually be saved if the trunk is sound, the main branch unions aren't split, the roots didn't lift, and it lost less than roughly a third of its crown.
Plan ahead
Roots are damaging my property
Tree roots commonly lift sidewalks and driveways and enter sewer lines that already have cracks or loose joints.
