Immediate Structural Extraction

24/7 Emergency Tree Removal & Storm Extraction

When high winds, microbursts, or saturated soil send heavy timber crashing through your roof, outbuilding, or driveway, waiting until morning is not an option. Our crane-assisted crews deploy immediately to stabilize structures, clear live hazards, and secure your property.

01

Evacuate The Impact Zone

If a tree or limb has struck your roofline, ceilings, or power leads, evacuate the affected rooms immediately. Structural weight shifts can collapse framing hours after initial impact.

02

Avoid Downed Utility Wires

Treat any tree in contact with overhead wires as energized. Stay back at least 30 feet, notify your electric utility provider immediately, and call our operators for tactical staging.

03

Direct Insurance Documentation

Do not move debris before photographing the scene. We provide complete pre-takedown photographic evidence and itemized reports written for your insurance adjuster.

Specialized Crane Tactics

Heavy Timber on Roofs: Zero-Impact Extraction

Cutting a tree that is resting on a roof with standard ground-chainsaws is dangerous; relieving tension in the wrong order can cause the remaining trunk to punch through ceilings and rafters.

Bottoms Bridge Tree Service operates company-owned heavy cranes and hydraulic lifts. Our rigging technicians secure multi-ton logs from above using precision sling systems, hoovering timber vertically off your roofline before sectioning it in the air. This eliminates secondary impact damage and allows immediate emergency tarping to stop rainwater ingress.
