“Don’t Panic — Here’s What to Do If a Tree Falls on Your House”

Fallen tree on your home is one of the most stressful situations a property owner can experience. Storms, high winds, or decayed roots can cause trees to collapse without warning, damaging roofs, power lines, and siding in seconds.

If you ever find yourself thinking, “There’s a tree on my house, what should I do?”—here’s a clear step-by-step guide to help you stay safe and take the right action quickly.

1. Stay Calm and Get Everyone to Safety

The most important step is to make sure everyone in your home is safe. Avoid going near the damaged area, especially if you suspect electrical wires may be involved. If you smell gas, hear sparking, or notice structural damage, leave the house immediately and call 911. Your safety always comes first.

2. Contact Emergency Services and Utility Providers

If the fallen tree has damaged power lines or is blocking the road, contact your local utility company or emergency services right away. They will help secure the area and prevent additional hazards. Never attempt to move or cut a tree that is in contact with power lines.

3. Call a Professional Tree Service

Once the area is safe, contact a licensed and insured tree service company. Professional crews have the proper training and equipment to handle emergency tree removal safely. Using cranes, bucket trucks, and precision rigging systems, they can remove the tree without causing further damage to your property.

If you’re in Geneva County, Coffee County, Houston County, or Covington County, and the Florida panhandle- our team at RPM Construction LLC & Tree Service Company provides fast, dependable storm damage cleanup and emergency tree removal. We’re available around the clock to respond when disaster strikes.

4. Document the Damage for Insurance

Before cleanup begins, take photos and videos of the damage from multiple angles—both inside and outside your home. These records will be important for your homeowner’s insurance claim. Your tree service provider can also prepare an itemized estimate for tree removal and debris cleanup to support your claim.

5. Prevent Future Tree Damage

After the emergency is handled, schedule a tree inspection or quarterly maintenance service to identify any other trees that could pose a risk.

Regular tree trimming and pruning helps remove weak limbs, prevent disease, and strengthen tree structure—protecting your property and reducing the chance of future damage. Preventive tree care is an investment in safety and peace of mind.
