Storm Damage Cleanup
Storms in Southern Maryland can bring down trees, snap large limbs, and scatter debris across your yard. When the weather clears, the damage left behind can be overwhelming. We help you take control of the situation fast.
At Empire Tree Services, we specialize in post-storm cleanup, including:
- Removing fallen or storm-damaged trees
- Cutting and hauling large limbs and broken branches
- Clearing scattered yard debris and brush
- Assessing nearby trees for hidden damage or risk
- Optional stump removal and site restoration
Our team arrives with the equipment and manpower to handle everything safely and efficiently — including cranes, bucket trucks, and wood chippers for larger jobs. We don’t just remove the danger. We clean it up completely.
If your property was hit by a storm, call us today and we’ll get your yard safe and clear again as soon as possible.
What Is Considered a Tree Emergency?
Not every fallen branch is an emergency, but some tree situations can’t wait. A tree emergency involves any tree or large limb that poses an immediate risk to people, property, or public safety.
Common examples include:
- A tree leaning heavily after a storm
- Large limbs cracked and hanging over your roof, driveway, or sidewalk
- A tree damaged by lightning or wind with visible splitting
- A partially uprooted tree with exposed roots
- Trees interfering with power lines (after calling your utility provider)
- Any tree that has already fallen onto a structure, road, or vehicle
- If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, give us a call. We’ll guide you through it and dispatch help if it’s urgent. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.
Does Insurance Cover Emergency Tree Removal in Southern Maryland?
In many cases, yes — homeowners insurance will cover emergency tree removal if the tree caused damage to a covered structure, such as your home, garage, or fence. However, if the tree falls in your yard without damaging anything, removal may not be covered. Every policy is different, so it’s important to check your coverage and deductible. At Empire Tree Services, we’ll provide detailed documentation and photos to support your claim and help make the process smoother with your insurance provider.
Dealing with a Fallen Tree
When a tree falls — whether during a storm or unexpectedly — the first priority is safety. Stay away from the area, especially if the tree is near power lines or resting on a structure.
Here’s what to do:
- Check for hazards – Look for downed wires, gas lines, or structural damage.
- Avoid climbing or cutting anything yourself – Fallen trees can shift suddenly.
- Take photos – For insurance purposes.
- Call Empire Tree Services – We’ll dispatch a crew to assess, remove the tree, and clear the debris.
We handle everything from safe dismantling to hauling and optional stump grinding. Whether the tree fell on your roof or across your backyard, we’re equipped to remove it safely and quickly.
