Tree on Your House? Blocking Your Driveway? Call Now.

Call Immediately If You're Experiencing Any of These Situations

• 🔴 Tree fallen on your house or roof. Creates immediate risk of structural collapse and water intrusion. Every hour compounds the damage. We stabilize, remove, and tarp exposed areas.
• 🔴 Tree on a vehicle. We carefully remove the tree to minimize additional damage and provide documentation for your insurance company.
• 🔴 Tree blocking your driveway or road. Can't leave your property? We cut, clear, and haul so access is restored fast.
• 🔴 Tree leaning dangerously. If it's actively leaning, shifted since a storm, or making cracking sounds — do NOT stand under it. We rig and remove before it falls.
• 🔴 Tree on power lines. Do NOT touch the tree. Call 911 and your power company first, then call us. We coordinate with utility crews.
• 🔴 Uprooted tree threatening a structure. Partially uprooted trees can let go at any moment. These require rigging or crane removal.

What to Do While You Wait for Emergency Tree Service

1. Ensure everyone is safe. Move away from the tree and any damaged structures. Evacuate affected rooms.
2. Do NOT attempt to move or cut the tree yourself. Fallen trees are under tension. Cutting incorrectly can cause violent shifts.
3. If power lines are involved, call 911 and your utility company. Do not approach within 35 feet of downed lines.
4. Document the damage. Take photos and video if safe. This helps your insurance claim.
5. Call your insurance company. Start your claim early. Note your claim number.
6. Call Canopy at (803) 497-8108. We'll ask for your address, a brief description, and whether power lines or structural damage are involved.

How Our Emergency Response Works

Fast deployment. When you call our emergency line, we assess by phone and deploy the nearest available crew. During active storms, we triage by severity — structural threats are prioritized.

Arrive with right equipment. Emergency calls don't get a two-man crew with a pickup. We roll heavy — chain saws, rigging, crane trucks, and debris hauling capacity.

Secure the scene first. If a tree is partially through a roof, we ensure it won't shift during removal. Power line situations get utility coordination first.

Remove the hazard. The tree is removed using the safest method. Complex removals may require crane-assisted sectional removal.

Temporary protection. We tarp and board-up exposed areas to prevent water damage until permanent repairs.

Insurance documentation. Before/after photos, written scope of work, itemized invoicing — exactly what adjusters need.

Emergency Tree Removal Cost & Insurance Coverage

Is emergency tree removal covered by insurance? In most cases, YES — when a tree damages a covered structure:

• Tree falls on house → typically covered under dwelling coverage
• Tree falls on fence → often covered under "other structures"
• Tree falls on car → covered under comprehensive auto insurance
• Tree falls in yard (no damage) → coverage varies; many policies include $500–$1,000 for debris removal

How we work with your insurance: We document the scene before work begins, provide detailed scope and itemized costs, and communicate directly with your adjuster if needed.
