What should I do if a tree falls on my house?

Evacuate immediately. If anyone is injured, call 911. Do not attempt to remove the tree yourself. Watch for structural damage like sagging ceilings. Call a tree removal service with insurance. Document damage for your insurance claim. Your insurance typically covers tree removal and repairs.

Why It Matters

A tree on your house is a structural emergency. Removing it yourself is dangerous and can cause more damage. Professional help is essential.
