Safety comes before the chainsaw
- If anyone is hurt or trapped, call 911 right away.
- Treat every fallen wire as energized. Keep people and pets well back and report it to your electric provider; in Hernando County that is usually Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative or Duke Energy.
- Leave rooms where the ceiling is cracked, sagging or wet under the fallen tree.
- Do not climb onto the roof or try to cut a trunk that is pinned or bent. Stored tension can whip a log or limb with enough force to injure badly.
- If you smell natural gas or propane, get out and call 911 and the gas company from a safe spot.
Steps that help your insurance claim
- Document everything. Photograph the tree, the point of impact, any roof or siding damage, and the inside of the home if water is coming in.
- Call your insurer early. Ask what your policy covers for tree removal and emergency repairs, and whether they want an adjuster out before work starts.
- Limit further damage. Tarping a roof or covering a broken window is usually expected. Keep receipts.
- Get the crew's paperwork. Ask for a written estimate and an itemized invoice that separates removal from cleanup.
How emergency removal works
A tree resting on a structure has to be lifted off, not just cut. Crews often use a crane or a bucket truck to take the weight in sections, then cut the remaining trunk once it is safe. Because of the equipment, the risk and the after-hours timing, emergency pricing is normally higher than a scheduled removal.
After a hurricane or major storm
When a big system crosses Hernando County, every tree company is swamped at once and phone lines get busy. Waits of days are common. Be wary of crews from out of the area who knock on doors asking for cash in advance. Ask for a name, a phone number, proof of insurance and a written price. You can read about storm readiness on our tree trimming page.
Not an emergency yet?
A hanging limb, a cracked trunk or a tree that started leaning after the last storm should still be looked at soon. Call and describe it, and we will route the request to a local pro who can quote it before it falls.

Common questions
Can someone come out tonight?
Sometimes. It depends on the weather, the hour and how busy local crews are. We will try, but we cannot promise a time. The tree company will tell you when they can arrive.
Will insurance pay for the removal?
Many policies help when a tree damages a covered structure, but the details vary. Ask your insurance company before or right after the work.
Should I cut the tree myself while I wait?
No. Trees resting on buildings or wires are under load and can shift without warning. Wait for trained crews with the right equipment.
