When a Tree Falls, Every Minute Counts

Spokane's weather doesn't play nice. Ice storms, high winds, and heavy snowloads snap branches and topple full-grown trees onto homes, vehicles, and power lines. When it happens, you need a crew that answers the phone at 2 AM and shows up ready to work.

We've handled hundreds of emergency tree removals across Spokane, Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Post Falls, and Coeur d'Alene. From a fallen tree on a roof to storm debris blocking an entire street, we bring the equipment, the experience, and the urgency the situation demands.

No surprise charges. No waiting days for a quote. We assess on-site, give you a fair price, and get to work immediately. Your safety is the only thing that matters.

Storm Damage Cleanup

Not Sure Which One You Need?

Emergency or Hazardous — What's the Difference?

People mix these up all the time. Easy rule: if the tree already fell, it's an emergency. If it's still standing but might fall, it's hazardous.

EMERGENCY — Call Now

It already happened. You need us today.

  • • Tree fell on your house, car, or fence
  • • Tree down across driveway or road
  • • Branches tangled in power lines — stay away and contact your utility or 911 first

OUR EMERGENCY TREE REMOVAL PROCESS

When a tree fails on your property, every minute matters. Here's exactly what happens when you call our 24/7 emergency line.

01

Immediate Phone Triage

When you call (509) 204-4333, you talk to a real person — not an answering service. We ask three questions: Is anyone hurt? Is the tree on a structure or vehicle? Is it touching power lines? Based on your answers, we either dispatch a crew immediately or walk you through making the area safe until we arrive.

02

Emergency Dispatch

For active emergencies — tree on house, tree blocking road, tree tangled in power lines — we dispatch within 30 minutes during daytime hours and within 60 minutes at night. Our trucks carry chainsaws, rigging gear, and tarp/board materials for emergency structural protection.

03

On-Site Stabilization

First priority on arrival is making the site safe — securing partially failed trees, tarping roof breaches, clearing access routes, and (if needed) coordinating with Avista to de-energize power lines. We don't start cutting until the immediate danger is contained.

04

Controlled Removal

Emergency removals are inherently more dangerous than scheduled work — partial failures create unpredictable load distribution. We use rigging and lowering systems to remove the failed tree in pieces, preventing additional damage to the structure or surrounding property.

05

Cleanup & Insurance Documentation

We haul all debris, photograph the work for your insurance claim, and provide written documentation of the failure cause and removal method. This documentation is often what determines whether your claim gets paid quickly or sits in review for weeks.

The First 30 Minutes After a Tree Falls

If a tree just fell on your property, here's what to do: 1) Check everyone for injury — call 911 if anyone is hurt. 2) Stay 30+ feet from any tree touching power lines and call Avista at 1-800-227-9187 to report it. 3) Do NOT try to cut the tree yourself — partial failures create dangerous loads that experienced arborists know how to handle and untrained homeowners do not. 4) Photograph everything for insurance. 5) Call our emergency line at (509) 204-4333. Do not let anyone enter a damaged structure until it has been inspected.

What 'Emergency' Actually Means

We classify emergencies into three tiers: Tier 1 (immediate dispatch) — tree on home/garage/vehicle, tree blocking access, tree on power lines, tree partially failed and threatening to complete the failure. Tier 2 (same-day) — large limb down but no structural damage, tree fully fallen but contained on the ground, blocked driveway. Tier 3 (next-day) — wind damage that is not actively dangerous. Be honest with our dispatcher about which tier you're in — it helps us prioritize across multiple simultaneous calls during major storms.

Spokane's Storm Season — What to Expect

Spokane experiences three main storm patterns that produce emergency tree calls: November–February ice and heavy snow (silver thaw events that load conifer canopies until they fail), spring windstorms (the infamous March/April fronts that sustain 50+ mph gusts for hours), and summer microbursts (localized but extremely violent, often producing the most damage per acre). Properties with mature ponderosas, Douglas firs, and cottonwoods are most vulnerable — these species combine size, wind exposure, and known structural weaknesses.

Why You Shouldn't Wait Until Morning

We get this call constantly: a tree partially failed during the night, the homeowner can hear it creaking but isn't sure if it's an emergency. Our advice: call us anyway. Partial failures are unstable — a tree that survived the storm with a major crack often completes the failure in the calm right after, when load shifts redistribute weight. Same-day removal of partially failed trees is significantly safer (and cheaper) than emergency response after the second failure causes more damage.
