It's one of the worst sounds a homeowner can hear: the crash of a tree hitting the house. Once it happens, what you do next matters. Here's the right order of operations.
1. Get Everyone Out Safely
If the structure is compromised, leave the house and account for everyone. Watch for sagging ceilings, gas smells, and electrical hazards.
2. Call 911 if Needed
For injuries, gas leaks, or active electrical danger, call emergency services first.
3. Report Downed Power Lines
If the tree took down wires, call your utility immediately and stay far clear.
4. Document Everything
Once it's safe, photograph the damage thoroughly before anything is moved — this is critical for your insurance claim.
5. Call a Professional Crew
Removing a tree from a structure is dangerous, technical work. Hired Gunz Services LLC's 24/7 storm damage crew safely removes the tree, prevents further damage, and provides documentation for your insurer.
