Emergency Tree Removal in Taunton, Explained Simply
Request an estimate today
A tree can fall on a roof, a car, a fence, or a driveway. If this is your first time, you may not know where to start. That is normal. Incommincenties Tree Service is a referral service. We do not cut trees. We explain the steps in plain words and connect you with independent providers in our network.
Providers handle emergency tree removal after storms, ice, and high wind. Many can respond quickly, but availability varies by provider and by how busy the weather has made things. Request an estimate, or Request a callback to check which providers can come out. Ask for a written quote before work starts. Your yard, your pace.
Tree Down? Stay Safe First
A fallen tree is scary. Take a breath. You do not have to fix it alone, and you do not have to rush outside.
Stay indoors while wind, ice, or lightning is still active. Look at the tree from a window. Keep kids and pets away from it.
Treat Every Wire as Live
A wire on or near a tree may carry power. You cannot tell by looking. Stay far back, at least 30 feet. Contact 911 or your power company about the wire. Do not touch the tree or anything it rests on.
Check Your Home From Inside
Look for cracks in the ceiling, sagging walls, or a smell of gas. If you notice any of these, leave the house and contact emergency services. Otherwise, take photos from a safe spot. They help later.
What Counts as an Urgent Tree Problem
Not every tree problem is an emergency. Here is a simple way to sort it.
Needs Fast Help
- A tree or big limb is on your house, car, or a power line
- A tree blocks your driveway or the only way out
- A tree is leaning hard and the roots are lifting the soil
- A split trunk or limb is hanging over a play area or door
Can Wait a Little
- A small limb is down in the yard and touches nothing
- A tree looks sick, but it is standing straight
- A branch is dead but far from the house
These still matter. Ask a provider to look soon, once the weather calms.
Who to Contact First
Wire trouble goes to the power company. Fire, injury, or gas goes to 911. A tree in your way goes to a tree provider. Use the form to request an estimate and the providers in our network can reach out.
How Storm Tree Clearance Works
The provider looks at the site first. They check wires, weight, and what the tree is leaning on. A tree under tension can snap back when cut, so the order of cuts matters.
The Usual Steps
- Look: The crew checks for wires, damage, and a safe work zone.
- Plan: They pick where each piece should land.
- Cut: Crews take off limbs, then cut the trunk in sections.
- Clear: Wood and brush get hauled off or stacked, as you agree.
This is the core of any tree falling service. Big trees may need a crane or ropes. Older homes with tight lots often do.
Working With Your Insurance
Some policies may cover sudden damage, such as a tree hitting a house. Rules differ. Check your policy, or ask your agent what applies.
Providers can often help document damage for a claim. Ask for a written quote and a short note on what was done. Keep your photos. Do not toss anything the adjuster may want to see.
After a Big Storm: What to Expect
When a storm hits a whole area, many homes need help at once. Providers may be booked up. Some will triage, which means they handle the most dangerous jobs first.
Expect a wait if your tree is not touching anything. Ask for a rough window and a backup plan. Request a callback to check provider availability.
A Tarp May Be a Fix for Now
If a limb has punched a hole in the roof, a roofer can cover it with a tarp. Do this only after the tree is made safe.
Busy Household? Keep the Day Simple
You have kids, work, and a schedule. Tell the provider up front. Ask when they will arrive, how long it will take, and how loud it will be.
Plan a spot to move cars. Keep pets inside. Ask whether someone must be home. Your yard, your pace.
Stumps and Cleanup
After the tree is gone, a stump may stay. Ask whether the quote includes cutting it flush to the ground. Stump grinding is a separate job on its own page.
Prevent the Next Storm Problem
Snow, ice, and thaw cycles stress trees. So do coastal winds. A little care helps.
- Have a pro look at big trees near the house each year
- Remove dead limbs before winter
- Watch for leaning, mushrooms at the base, or hollow spots
- Keep trees away from wires and roofs
Questions to Ask the Provider
Ask, compare, decide. These questions keep things clear.
- Do you carry liability insurance and workers' compensation? Ask for proof.
- What is the total price in writing?
- Is cleanup and haul-away included?
- How will you protect my lawn, roof, and fence?
- When can you start, and how long will it take?
A good provider answers calmly. If someone pushes you to sign on the spot, step back.
