First: stay safe
If anyone is hurt or a gas line is damaged, call 911. Stay away from any downed power lines and anything touching them, including the tree, a fence or puddles. Treat every downed line as live and report it to your power company.
Do not go into rooms where a tree has come through the roof until it has been checked.
Then: protect your claim
Take photos and video of the damage from several angles before anything is moved. Call your insurance company to start a claim. Most policies expect you to prevent further damage, such as getting a tarp on the roof, so keep receipts.
After big storms, out-of-town crews and door-to-door “storm chasers” show up. Ask for insurance and a written quote, and don’t pay the full amount before the work is done.
Storms are part of life here
The Augusta area knows how bad it can get. Hurricane Helene in September 2024 was called the worst natural disaster in the city’s history. A UGA Extension agent estimated about 10% of Augusta’s trees were lost, and the city later reported taking down nearly 19,000 hazardous trees.
Many trees that survived are still damaged. Having a weak tree checked before the next hurricane season is cheaper than an emergency removal afterward.

Common questions
Is emergency tree removal more expensive?
Usually, yes. Work done at night, on weekends, or with a tree on a structure takes more crew and equipment. If your insurance covers the damage, the policy may pay much of the cost.
Should I try to remove a fallen tree myself?
Not if it is on a building, near power lines, or under tension (bent or pinned). Trees under tension can spring back with great force when cut. Leave those to a professional crew.
