When a Tree Comes Down, Call Us Any Time

Storms don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. When a tree crashes onto your roof at 2 a.m. or a massive limb blocks your driveway before work, you need help immediately — from a crew that knows how to handle a loaded, unstable tree without making the damage worse. Hank's Tree Pros offers 24/7 emergency tree service across Sandy Springs, Buckhead, Dunwoody, and all of metro Atlanta. One call to (770) 821-6260 gets an ISA-certified arborist headed your way.

Georgia Storms Bring Trees Down

Metro Atlanta is one of the most heavily wooded urban areas in the country, and that beautiful canopy is exactly what makes storm season so risky. Summer thunderstorms and straight-line winds snap tall loblolly pines and topple weak-wooded water oaks. Occasional ice storms load branches until they shatter. Remnants of tropical systems soak our red clay soil until whole trees uproot, even ones that looked perfectly healthy the day before. When the wind stops, we're the crew clearing the aftermath.

Emergencies We Handle

  • Trees fallen on homes — we carefully assess the load and remove the tree in controlled sections to limit further damage to your roof and structure.
  • Trees or limbs on cars, sheds, or fences — extracted without dragging or crushing.
  • Blocked driveways and access — cleared so you can get out or get back in.
  • Hanging "widow-maker" limbs and split leaders — the broken branches still up in the canopy that can drop without warning.
  • Uprooted and leaning trees — trees pushed over or destabilized by saturated soil, taken down before they finish falling.

Tree on a Power Line? Stay Back and Call 911

A tree touching a power line is a life-threatening hazard. Treat every downed line as live. Keep everyone — including pets — far away, do not touch the tree or anything it's touching, and call 911 and Georgia Power immediately so the utility can de-energize the line. We do not touch a tree in contact with power lines until the utility has cleared it. Once it's safe, we handle the removal. Your safety always comes before the cleanup.

Rapid, Safe Response

Because we're based right here in Sandy Springs, we can reach most of metro Atlanta quickly. Our emergency process is built around safety first: we secure the scene, evaluate how the tree is loaded and where the tension and compression are, and then rig it down in a controlled sequence — often roping sections out or, for the heaviest jobs, bringing in crane-assisted removal. Emergency work is high-risk work, which is exactly why it should be handled by trained, ISA-certified professionals rather than a homeowner with a chainsaw.

Documentation for Your Insurance

When a tree damages a covered structure, your homeowner's insurance often helps with the cost — though coverage varies by policy. We make that process easier by photographing the damage and the tree and providing a clear, itemized written estimate you can submit to your insurer. Good documentation up front helps a claim move faster. To be clear, we don't file claims for you — that's between you and your insurance company — but we give you the records you need. For more on how this works, read does insurance cover tree removal.

After the Emergency

Once the immediate danger is handled, we finish the job right — hauling debris, and grinding the stump if you'd like with our stump grinding service, or fully removing what's left through standard tree removal. If neighboring trees took damage but are still standing, our arborists can advise on whether pruning can save them.

Emergency Tree Service FAQs

Questions, Answered

Do you really offer 24/7 emergency tree service?
Yes. When a tree comes down on your house, car, or driveway, you can call us any time of day or night at (770) 821-6260. Storms don't keep business hours, and neither does our emergency crew. We prioritize situations where people or property are at immediate risk.
A tree fell on my house — what should I do first?
Get everyone out of the affected part of the home and stay clear. If there's any risk of gas, structural collapse, or electrical hazard, call 911 and your utility. Do not try to move the tree yourself. Then call us — we'll assess the load and safely remove the tree in a controlled way that limits further damage.
What if a tree is on a power line?
Treat every downed line as live and dangerous. Stay far back, keep others and pets away, and call 911 and Georgia Power immediately — only the utility can de-energize the line. We do not touch trees in contact with power lines until the utility has cleared them, then we handle the removal safely.
How fast can you get here after a storm?
We respond as quickly as safely possible and prioritize the most dangerous situations first. Because we're based right in Sandy Springs, we can reach most of metro Atlanta quickly. After a major storm demand is high across the whole area, so calling early gets you in line sooner.
Will my insurance cover storm tree damage?
It often does when a tree damages a covered structure, though coverage varies by policy. We help by documenting the scene with photos and providing an itemized written estimate for your records. We don't file claims for you — that's between you and your insurer — but our documentation makes the process smoother. See does insurance cover tree removal.
Do you provide documentation for my insurance claim?
Yes. We photograph the damage and the tree, and we provide a clear, itemized written estimate you can submit to your insurance company. Good documentation up front helps your claim move faster, though the claim itself is handled between you and your insurer.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Hank's Tree Pros is fully licensed and insured with workers' compensation coverage for our crew, and our emergency work is led by ISA-certified arborists — which matters most when a job is high-risk.
