When 35 mph wind gusts rip through the Antelope Valley, even healthy-looking trees can fail. If you wake up to a downed branch on your roof or a tree leaning dangerously close to your power lines, knowing exactly what to do next can prevent further property damage and keep your family safe.
Here is the step-by-step emergency tree removal Lancaster protocol for Lancaster and Palmdale residents.
Before you do anything else, keep everyone (including pets) away from the tree. If the tree or any branches are touching power lines, do not approach. Call Southern California Edison immediately. Trees conduct electricity, and the ground around the tree can be energized.
If it is safe to do so from a distance, take clear photos and videos of the downed tree, the surrounding area, and any property damage. Your homeowner’s insurance will need this documentation before any cleanup begins.
Do not try to remove a large downed tree yourself. Wind-thrown trees are under immense tension and compression forces. Cutting the wrong branch can cause the massive trunk to roll, snap back, or spring upward with lethal force.
You need an ISA-Certified Arborist with emergency response experience. When you call Tip Top Arborists, let our dispatcher know:
If a branch has punctured your roof, you may need to call a roofing contractor or restoration company to tarp the area, but they cannot work until the tree is safely removed. Coordinate between your tree service and your roofer.
Since 1976, we have been the trusted emergency response team for the Antelope Valley. We have the heavy equipment (cranes, bucket trucks) necessary to lift trees off structures without causing secondary damage.
