Storm Damage Response
Momentum Tree Experts provides emergency tree service and storm damage response throughout Southeast Michigan. When severe weather strikes, fallen trees or damaged limbs can create immediate hazards to your property and safety. Our ISA Certified Arborists can assess storm-damaged trees and help address urgent tree-related hazards when conditions allow, offering professional emergency tree removal and cleanup. We understand the stress and urgency that come with a tree fell on house scenario. If a tree has fallen on a power line, it is crucial to prioritize safety and contact the utility company immediately — homeowners should not approach energized lines. Our priority is always safety, followed by careful removal of storm-damaged trees. We provide a calm, arborist-led assessment of the damage and clear communication about the necessary steps. Our expertise also includes providing documentation that may help with an insurance claim, which can be valuable during your recovery process.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to a storm emergency?
We prioritize emergency calls and work to respond as promptly as conditions allow. Response times during major storm events depend on demand and safe access to the site. We will communicate clearly about timing when you contact us.
What should I do if a tree fell on a power line?
Do not approach the tree or the area near the line. Contact your utility company immediately. Energized lines require utility involvement before any tree work can safely begin. Once the utility company has addressed the line, we can assess and address the tree.
Can you help with insurance documentation?
Yes. We provide detailed written assessments and documentation of the damage and work performed that may help support your insurance claim. We communicate clearly throughout the process about what we observed and what was done.
Can you save a tree that has been split by a storm?
Sometimes. We assess each tree individually. Some split trees can be stabilized with proper pruning and cabling, while others may require removal. We will give you an honest recommendation after evaluating the tree's condition.
