EMERGENCY TREE REMOVAL

TREES BY JAKE is always available for emergency tree services. Oklahoma weather has been known to wreak havoc on trees. Heavy rain, wind, and ice can cause extensive damage to trees and can result in entire trees snapping over or being uprooted, broken branches and stems, and hanging limbs that can pose a risk.

Tree emergencies present hazardous situations and if not handled correctly, may result in even further damage to property or personal injury. It is a common misconception that because a tree is already down, it no longer presents a danger. In fact, in the aftermath of a storm, trees are often more dangerous as they may be tangled with other trees or electrical lines or may have fallen onto or through property.

    EMERGENCY TREE REMOVAL SERVICE

    It takes a highly skilled and heavily equipped tree crew to safely respond to these situations. Over the years, Jake and the crew have responded to multiple ice and wind storms and are fully trained and knowledgeable in the removal of damaged and/or hazardous trees from property.  Our most recent mass storm responses include the June 2023 Tulsa windstorm which toppled trees onto homes, the July 2020 damaging wind event in Tulsa, the May 2019 Tulsa tornado, the July 2018 F3 tornado in Marshalltown, Iowa, the August 2017 Tulsa tornado, and the July 2016 Tulsa Dericho.

    Emergency tree work requires expert experience, techniques, and equipment to safely remove trees and prevent further damage.  Our equipment allows us to respond to emergency tree situations quickly and efficiently as we typically utilize cranes, grapple trucks, bucket trucks, skid steers, and stump grinders when dispatching to these types of situations.  We specialize in removing trees that have fallen onto homes or other structures.  Our Tree-Mek, a specialty crane for tree care operations, allows us to respond to and complete tree removal where most others cannot.  In most cases, when responding to a tree on a structure, a crane or other mechanization is the safest and best way and can help prevent further damage.

    Unfortunately, after a natural disaster, there are tree services that attempt to take advantage of the situation left behind by Mother Nature.  When looking for a tree service to respond to an emergency situation, it is important to use a local tree service with an established reputation that you can trust.  At TREES BY JAKE, the client’s trust is highly valued. Our tree emergency response system provides transparency for our clients and allow us to dispatch faster - we can even bill your insurance carrier directly.  We are fully insured for both liability and workers’ compensation and we will be happy to provide a Certificate upon request.

    Though dealing with a tree that has come crashing down onto your property can be extremely stressful, the crew at TREES BY JAKE will be able to take care of it safely and as quickly as possible with our state-of-the-art equipment. After severe weather, it is important to inspect your trees for any damage.  As an ISA Certified Arborist and Tree Risk Assessment Qualified (TRAQ), Jake knows what to look for and can identify any potential issues that may affect the health or safety of a tree.  Jake can discuss a preventative tree maintenance plan that may include tree trimming or tree cabling/bracing to help prevent damage from future storms.

    While no tree is safe from Mother Nature, some trees are more susceptible to severe weather.  Trees with certain conditions, like cracked soil, root rot, clustered canopies, or poor branch structure (such as codominant stems) are more likely to fail in extreme weather.  Trees that are neglected are also more susceptible to extreme weather.  Regular tree maintenance, including trimming, pruning, and tree cabling can help prevent trees from sustaining or causing damage during a storm.  Annual inspection by an ISA Certified Arborist is also recommended.

    EMERGENCY TREE SERVICES FAQs

    How much does tree emergency tree removal cost?

    The cost of emergency tree removal is largely dependent on the equipment that is deployed and crew size required.  If a claim is made, we can deal directly with the insurance carrier for billing and in most cases, there is no up front cost for the homeowner.

    What steps should I take if I have a tree emergency?

    Do not go near the tree or let anyone near the tree.  If possible, place cones or tape around the tree to let other know it could be a hazard.  Though it may look safe or sturdy, there may be hidden hazards.  If the tree has brought down or is tangled up with electrical wires call the electric company immediately.  If the tree is on or has pierced the roof, we highly recommend vacating the home until the tree is removed.  Do take pictures for insurance purposes if it can be done safely.

    Will my insurance cover emergency tree work?

    In most cases, policy coverage only extends to structures, such as houses, garages, sheds, and sometimes fences.  If a tree falls and there is no actual damage to any structure, the homeowner of the property where the tree fell will likely be responsible for the tree removal and cleanup costs out-of-pocket, though homeowners should consult their individual policy for any coverage limitations.
