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

Evacuate immediately. If anyone is injured, call 911. Do not try to remove the tree yourself - it can shift and cause more damage or collapse. Watch for signs of structural damage like sagging ceilings or cracked walls. Call a professional tree removal service. Document everything for your insurance claim.

Why It Matters

A tree on your house creates an unstable and dangerous structure. Professional removal is essential to prevent further collapse and injury.
