Strong winds, heavy rains, and ice storms can turn trees into hazards overnight. If a tree falls on your property—or worse, on your home—it’s important to act fast. At Midstate Tree, we offer 24/7 emergency tree removal across Washington, NJ and surrounding Warren and Hunterdon Counties.

Here’s exactly what you should do in the aftermath of storm damage:

1. Ensure Your Safety First

If a tree has fallen on power lines, leave the area immediately and call the utility company. Don’t touch or go near downed lines or a leaning tree that may still fall.

2. Assess the Damage—But Don’t Touch Anything

Once you’re safe, do a visual inspection from a distance. Look for:

• Trees split or hanging dangerously
• Limbs resting on roofs or cars
• Uprooted trees with exposed roots
• Cracks in major limbs or trunk

Do not attempt to remove large limbs or cut anything yourself—this can make the situation worse.

3. Call a Certified Emergency Tree Removal Team

This is not a DIY moment. You need professionals with heavy equipment, rigging gear, and the know-how to safely remove unstable trees. That’s where Midstate Tree comes in—we’re available around the clock for fast, safe emergency response.

4. Document the Damage for Insurance

Before cleanup begins, take clear photos and videos of the fallen tree, surrounding damage, and impacted structures. Your insurance company will need this for any claims.

5. Schedule a Follow-Up Inspection

Once the immediate hazard is gone, it’s smart to have the remaining trees inspected. Storms often leave behind cracked limbs and hidden damage. Our arborists can help determine if any nearby trees are at risk of failing in the next weather event.
