Prepare for Winter Storms: Emergency Tree Removal Tips for Central Texas Homeowners
Winter storms in Central Texas can hit hard — and when they do, falling trees and broken limbs can cause serious damage to homes, vehicles, and power lines. Whether you live in Austin, Georgetown, or anywhere across Central Texas, knowing what to do before and after a storm can protect your property and keep your family safe.
At Brents Tree Service, we specialize in emergency tree removal and storm cleanup, helping homeowners recover quickly and safely after ice, wind, or rain damage.
What to Do If a Tree Falls on Your Property
- Stay Safe and Keep Your Distance
If a tree or large branch has fallen, avoid going near it — especially if it’s touching your roof, fence, or vehicle. Structural damage can make the area unstable, and hidden tension in the branches can cause sudden movement. - Check for Power Line Contact
If the tree has fallen on or near power lines, do not approach or attempt removal. Contact your utility company immediately. Even downed lines that look harmless may still be live. - Document the Damage for Insurance
Take clear photos and videos from a safe distance. Most insurance companies require this before tree removal begins. - Call a Professional Emergency Tree Service
Contact Brents Tree Service right away for 24/7 emergency response. Our experienced crew uses specialized equipment to safely remove fallen trees and clear debris without causing further damage to your property.
Why You Should Avoid DIY Tree Removal
It can be tempting to grab a chainsaw and handle cleanup yourself — but storm-damaged trees are unpredictable and dangerous. Here’s why you should leave it to professionals:
- Hidden tension in cracked or twisted branches can cause them to snap unexpectedly.
- Electrical hazards from nearby power lines can result in severe injury.
- Heavy equipment and climbing gear are often needed to safely remove large trees.
At Brents Tree Service, we’re trained to handle these complex situations safely and efficiently, minimizing risk to both you and your property.
