Signs You Need Emergency Tree Removal

If you need tree services in Iowa, Indiana, and Illinois, we have you covered. Safety is a priority whether you have a family, a pet, or a relative living in your home. You don’t want anyone to trip, fall, and severely hurt themselves because of a fallen tree in your back or front yard.

Here are a few signs you need to call Central Tree Pros for emergency tree services:

You spot a tree with visibly damaged roots. This is a sign of an unhealthy tree that needs to be removed.
There are leaning trees on your property. These can prove to be a danger if they’re not taken care of swiftly.
There are hollow or otherwise damaged trees.
There are big dead branches. Whether these branches are holding on or about to fall off, contact Central Tree Pros right away. You don’t want these big branches to fall on someone or otherwise damage something else on your property, such as a garden, pool, or shed.
A storm has just passed that caused a tree to fall. Fallen trees can be hazardous, so when the storm is over, contact us. We’ll come to your home as soon as possible to rid your property of any dangerous trees and large branches.

A tree just fell on my house, driveway, or power lines. What should I do first?

Move everyone away from the tree, do not approach any line the tree is touching, call us at 515-661-7170 for Iowa or 219-999-8286 for Indiana, then call your insurance company. Treat every downed line as energized, whether or not it is sparking, and report it to the appropriate utility company before anyone goes near the area. Do not attempt to move branches off a structure yourself; weight that is holding steady can shift the moment it is disturbed. Once the site is safe, photograph the damage from several angles before any cleanup begins, since your insurer will want documentation of the tree’s original position.

A large tree is leaning toward my house. Is that an emergency?

A newly leaning tree is an emergency and should be assessed the same day, especially if the soil at the base is heaving, cracked, or lifting. A tree that has always leaned slightly and shows no ground disturbance is usually stable, but a lean that appeared or worsened after a storm, heavy rain, or saturated ground means the root plate is failing. Other same-day warning signs include fresh cracks in the trunk, exposed or damaged roots, and large limbs that have partially separated but not fallen. Central Tree Pros assesses leaning trees 24/7 across Iowa, Indiana, and Illinois. For Iowa, call 515-661-7170. For Indiana, call 219-999-8286.

Do you handle storm damage cleanup and work with insurance claims?

Yes. We handle full storm damage cleanup across Iowa, Indiana, and Illinois, including downed trees, hanging limbs, debris removal, and site restoration. We can provide written estimates and documentation for your insurance carrier, and can work directly with your adjuster when needed. Most homeowners policies cover tree removal when a tree strikes a covered structure; coverage for a tree that falls in open yard varies by policy, so confirm with your carrier before work begins.
