There is a longer version of this list in [a tree fell on the house: first hour checklist](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/tree-fell-on-house/). ## What does our emergency service cover? Emergency work includes removing trees from houses, clearing roads and driveways, and pruning or removing trees that could lead to personal injury or more property damage. We remove the trees, the limbs and the debris and leave you with a clear space. A tree lying on a roof is often a crane job. The crane lifts the trunk off in sections instead of dragging it across the roof. Our crane is part of our own fleet, which is described on the [crane-assisted tree removal](https://battleborntreeservice.com/tree-services/crane-assisted-tree-removal/) page. ## Who gets served first after a big storm? Following severe storms, our priority is responding to existing clients. We are equipped to provide services to anyone in need, and we do. Call as early as you can, tell the office exactly what the tree is resting on, and say whether a driveway or road is blocked. The phone line is staffed seven days a week. If you reach the message box, your call is returned within 8 hours. The same number is the 24-hour emergency line. ## What storms break trees here? Wind and snow load do most of the damage. Downslope wind off the Sierra can snap dead tops and tear out weak forks. Heavy wet snow breaks limbs when it falls on trees that still have leaves, or on evergreens that were never thinned. NOAA's 1991 to 2020 climate normals put average snowfall at 14.0 inches a year at the Carson City station, 20.9 inches at Reno-Tahoe International Airport and 46.4 inches at Virginia City. See [preparing trees for downslope wind](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/washoe-zephyr-wind-tree-prep/) and [heavy wet snow and broken limbs](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/heavy-snow-broken-limbs/). ## What comes after the emergency? The emergency visit makes the property clear. A storm-damaged tree may need more work once things calm down. Talk to the arborist about stump grinding, [dead wooding](https://battleborntreeservice.com/tree-services/dead-wooding/), and trimming and shaping to reduce damage from the next storm. A split tree that is worth keeping may be a candidate for [cabling and bracing](https://battleborntreeservice.com/tree-services/cabling-bracing/). If you are filing a claim, our page on [storm damage and insurance claims](https://battleborntreeservice.com/who-we-serve/storm-damage-insurance-claims/) explains what insurers usually ask for. Your insurer decides what is covered.

Call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243). Phones are answered seven days a week. ### Is the emergency line really open 24 hours? Emergency services are offered 24 hours a day. Call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243). It is the same number as the office. ### A tree is on a power line. Who do I call? Call 911 if there is fire, sparks or anyone in danger, and call NV Energy. Stay away from the tree and anything it is touching. NV Energy deals with its own lines. Call us once the line is taken care of. ### Do you help people who are not already customers? Yes. After severe storms existing clients come first, but we are equipped to serve anyone in need. ### Can you clear a road or driveway blocked by a tree or snow? Yes. Clearing roads and driveways is part of our emergency service, and we use our snow removal equipment when snow is the problem. ### Will you tell me if the rest of my tree is safe? A certified arborist can inspect the tree in person and give you a recommendation. Nobody can judge a damaged tree from a phone call, so keep clear of it until it has been looked at.
