A tree emergency is any situation where a tree or major limb is actively threatening your safety, your home, or your property – and it needs to be addressed now, not during normal business hours. In East Tennessee these happen more often than most people expect: summer thunderstorms, winter ice events, and fall wind events create emergency calls across Knox, Blount, Anderson, Sevier, and Loudon counties every year.

What counts as an emergency: a tree that has fallen onto or into your home, garage, car, or fence; a tree leaning into a structure after root failure; large hanging limbs – widow-makers – suspended in the canopy waiting to drop; a tree blocking your only driveway access; and trees contacting or tangling with power lines. For a step-by-step of what to do in the first hour, see what to do after storm damage to trees in Knoxville.

If your tree is touching power lines, call KUB (Knoxville Utilities Board) at 865-524-2911 first. Do not approach the area, and do not let anyone else approach it. KUB handles line clearance – the crew handles the tree once the lines are safe.

Storm-damaged trees are unpredictable in ways that aren’t obvious. A trunk that looks like it fell cleanly may hold loaded tension from the fall; touching it wrong causes the remaining sections to shift violently. Root balls that have partially lifted can rock and re-fail without warning. This is exactly why emergency tree work requires experienced crews with the right gear, not well-meaning neighbors with chainsaws.

Our process

1. Call or leave a message. Describe what happened and we’ll connect you with a crew that can respond – and give you a realistic timeframe.
2. Dispatch. A local crew with the right equipment – rigging, bucket truck, chainsaw gear rated for the job – heads your way. No out-of-area crews unfamiliar with the region.
3. Stabilize, then remove. First priority is making the site safe and stopping ongoing damage: tarping roof penetrations, securing leaning sections, clearing access. Then the crew completes the full removal and cleanup.

Every hour counts

Every hour a damaged tree sits on your property, the risk grows. Branches keep dropping, roof leaks worsen under the weight, and pets and children are at risk.

The insured crew we connect you with documents everything for your claim and coordinates with your adjuster; our guide to homeowners insurance and tree removal in Tennessee explains what’s typically covered before you call your carrier.
