Severe storms are a fact of life in the CSRA. Summer thunderstorms, tropical systems moving up from the coast, and the occasional ice storm can bring down massive trees in minutes. When a tree falls on your home, blocks your driveway, or hangs dangerously over your family, you need help right away.
Augusta Tree Removal offers 24/7 emergency storm response across Augusta and the surrounding communities. Call (706) 703-9482 day or night, and our crew will get to you as quickly as safely possible to secure your property and remove the danger.
What to do after a tree falls
Your safety comes first. If a tree has hit your house, get everyone out of the affected area and stay away from damaged rooms. Never approach a tree touching power lines, and assume any downed line is live. Call Georgia Power or your electric cooperative to report it, then call us.
If it is safe, take photos of the damage from several angles before anything is moved. These pictures will be important for your insurance claim. Do not try to cut a tree that is under tension or resting on a structure yourself. Storm-damaged trees store huge amounts of energy, and an incorrect cut can cause the trunk to spring or roll without warning.
How our emergency crews help
When we arrive, our first job is to make the scene safe. We assess the tree, plan the safest way to remove the weight from your home, and carefully lift or lower it away, often with a crane for large trees on roofs. We then cut and haul the debris and can tarp exposed areas to prevent further water damage until your roofer arrives.
We also handle hanging limbs, split trunks, uprooted trees, and trees blocking driveways and roads. After major storms, we prioritize calls involving injuries, homes, and blocked access, and we keep every customer informed about when to expect our crew.
Working with your insurance company
Many homeowners insurance policies cover the cost of removing a tree that has fallen on a covered structure, such as your house, garage, or fence. Coverage for trees that fall in the yard without hitting anything is usually more limited. Because policies vary, we recommend contacting your insurance agent as soon as possible.
Our team provides detailed invoices and photos documenting the work so your claim goes smoothly. We have worked with many insurance adjusters over the years and understand the documentation they need.
Preventing storm damage before it happens
The best emergency is the one that never happens. Many storm failures come from trees that showed warning signs for months or years: dead limbs, cracks, decay, or heavy branches stretching over the roof. A simple inspection before hurricane season can identify these risks.
We offer free evaluations to help Augusta homeowners spot problem trees early. Proactive trimming, cabling, or removal of a hazardous tree costs far less than repairing a damaged roof and is much less stressful than a late-night emergency call.
