A tree came down in Macon or Middle Georgia. What do I do now?

Do these first

General safety advice.

1. Keep people and pets away from the tree, and out of any room under a damaged roof.
2. Treat every wire as live. Stay well back from downed or sagging lines, and from a tree that is touching them. Call your power company and report the line. Do not try to move the tree or the wire.
3. If anyone is hurt, a fire has started, or the tree blocks a road, call 911.
4. Do not cut or climb a tree that is leaning on a roof, a line or another tree. The weight can shift without warning.
5. Take photos from a safe distance of the tree, the damage and the surrounding area. Your insurance company will usually ask for them.
6. Turn off power or water at the source only if you can reach it safely and the tree has damaged those lines.

Then call us

Call or text 478-832-0890. Tell us your address and town, where the tree is, and whether it touches the house, a fence, a driveway or a wire. A photo by text helps. We can say on the call whether we can come to your town.

What happens next

1. Peter talks through the situation with you and confirms your town.
2. We look at the tree, which parts are under tension and what it rests on. Estimates are free.
3. We take the tree down top down, piece by piece, where access is tight. Where a bucket truck can't reach, our 80-foot spider lift tracks through garden gates and sets up on the driveway.
4. We clear the work area.

Where the power company has to make a line safe first, work waits until they have.
