Storm Damage Tree & Debris Cleanup
Following major storms like hurricanes or tornadoes, our rapid response teams deploy to hard-hit areas with emergency tree removal crews.
We prepare for emergencies through training and practice. Tree 16 has the personnel and equipment to safely and professionally remove problem trees or limbs, whether they have fallen in the open or onto a part of your home or commercial building.
Tree 16 serves property owners with preplanned and emergency tree removal services. Through our strong partnership with restoration contractor, RestoreMasters, our team is uniquely qualified to provide emergency services for trees that damage structures.
Disaster Response Services
Emergency Tree Service
24/7 Emergency tree service available to deploy following storms. Fallen trees present risks to people and property. A large tree can weigh several tons, and when it falls onto a structure, it creates an unstable situation. Our team is specially trained to deal with these types of tree removal scenarios.
Disaster Pre-planning & Staging
Get ready for pending storms or the upcoming hurricane season. Pre-planning disaster preparedness with our team will position you to receive priority response when the storm hits. We also take a proactive approach toward preventative trimming to minimize damage risk once the storm hits.
Stumps Leaners & Hangers Removal
We work with FEMA and local authorities through disaster recovery contracts to coordinate the survey and removal of stumps and hazardous trees (leaners & hangers). Leaners are trees that are leaning precariously and put people or property at risk. Hangers are limbs that hang dangerously at risk of falling.
Storm Damage Cleanup
High winds, snow and ice put damaging pressure on trees, causing many to topple during severe weather. Dead branches, limbs and entire trees can be scattered across your property. Our storm damage cleanup teams will visit your property, assess cleanup requirements and deploy a team to remove downed trees, limbs and debris.
Insurance Claims Experts
It’s not uncommon for our emergency tree services to be covered by insurance policies. Should your property include claimable damage, our team will help you navigate the claims process providing documentation and working with our team of third-party public adjusters.
Our tree service fleet includes:
- Late-model bucket trucks equipped with chip dump body
- Knuckle boom grapple trucks with dump trailer
- High-capacity wood chippers

Do you remove trees from structures?
Yes! In fact, that’s one of the main things we specialize in. Our team is uniquely trained to remove a tree that fell on your home, commercial building or other structure. We take great care to safely remove the tree while minimizing damage done to the structure itself. We can also arrange to have the structure sealed, so it’s water tight until permanent repairs can be arranged.
Do you remove non-tree debris?
We certainly do. When disaster strikes, it’s not uncommon for brush, branches, trees and trash to be mixed together in the mess left behind.
