What counts as a tree emergency
If a tree or limb is putting people or your home at risk right now, it is an emergency. Call us any time, day or night.
- A tree or large limb on your house, garage or car
- A fallen tree blocking your driveway or street
- A split or cracked tree leaning toward the house after a storm
- Broken limbs hanging over a door, walkway or play area
- A tree tipping over with the roots and soil lifting
What to do before we arrive
Get everyone away from the damaged area. If the tree is touching a house, stay out of the rooms under it.
Treat every downed wire as live. Stay well back and call your electric utility. Lines have to be made safe before tree work can start.
Do not try to cut limbs that are bent or pinned. They hold a lot of tension and can spring back with real force. If you can do it safely, take photos of the damage for your insurance company.
How we handle storm damage
We start by looking at how the tree is sitting and what is holding it. Then we take it apart in a controlled order, lifting or lowering sections with our crane and bucket trucks so the house does not take more damage.
Once the immediate danger is gone, we can come back to finish cleanup, grind stumps or prune damaged trees that can still be saved.
Storm cleanup and debris removal
Not every storm call is a tree on the roof. After a big storm, many yards are left with broken limbs, hangers and piles of debris.
We clear fallen trees, large branches and storm debris and haul it away, so your yard is clean and safe again.
FAQ
Emergency Tree Removal questions
Are you really available 24/7?
Yes. Moore's offers emergency tree service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights and weekends. Call our Short Hills or Livingston number.
How soon can you get to my house?
That depends on the storm and how many calls are coming in. When you call, tell us what the tree hit and whether anyone is at risk, so we understand how urgent your job is.
A tree is down on power lines. What should I do?
Stay far away and call your electric utility right away. Assume every wire is live. Lines must be made safe by the utility before anyone can work on the tree.
Will my homeowners insurance pay for emergency removal?
It depends on your policy. Many policies cover removal when a fallen tree damages a covered structure, like your house or garage, and often do not when it lands in the yard without hitting anything. Take photos and call your insurance company.
Can you remove a tree from my roof without making the damage worse?
That is the goal on every roof job. Instead of dragging the tree off, we cut it into sections and lift or lower them with our crane or rigging.
