What to Do When a Tree Falls on Your Property: Emergency Tree Services Explained

When a tree falls unexpectedly—whether from a storm, decay, or accident—it can be a terrifying and costly event. Power lines get knocked down, homes get damaged, and in some cases, lives are at risk. If you’re dealing with a fallen or dangerously leaning tree in New Jersey, Riverside Tree Experts offers 24/7 emergency tree services to keep you safe.

Step 1: Ensure Safety First

The moment a tree falls:

  • Keep everyone away from the area—especially children and pets.
  • Do not touch power lines or attempt DIY removal.
  • Call 911 if there’s a threat to safety or utilities.

Once the area is secure, your next call should be to a professional emergency tree service.

Step 2: Call Riverside Tree Experts Immediately

The Riverside Tree Experts Emergency Tree crew is trained to respond quickly and handle the situation safely. We’ll:

  • Assess the situation
  • Remove the hazard using proper equipment
  • Secure the area from further damage

We work directly with insurance providers and can help you document the damage for claims.

Common Causes of Tree Emergencies

Understanding what leads to tree failure helps prevent it. Common causes include:

  • Rotting or diseased roots
  • Cracks or splits in the trunk
  • Heavy snow or ice storms
  • Saturated soil and wind

Even healthy-looking trees can pose a risk if not routinely inspected. That’s why Riverside also offers proactive tree health assessments to prevent future emergencies.

  • Fast, safe removal using cranes and rigging if needed
