Precision Tree Services Fall River
Emergency Tree Services
Emergency Tree Services that are both timely and professional.
The Precision Tree Services Fall River emergency response team works around the clock because tree emergencies never have a scheduled time for them to occur. Heavy snowfall, high winds, and ice storms can all create emergencies at any hour of the day or night, which can threaten your property and put you and others at risk. When there is an emergency, timing is everything. That’s why our team is available 24/7, 365 days per year to address emergency tree service calls anywhere along the South Coast.
A tree emergency is a unique and different type of situation from routine tree care and maintenance. While you may plan for regular tree care (e.g., pruning) weeks in advance, when a tree emergency occurs, it requires an immediate professional response. This means we will respond to the site immediately to inspect the condition of the tree(s), and then begin cutting branches to make the site safe and prevent further property damage. We prioritize emergency calls so that, as quickly as possible, hazardous branches and fallen trees are secured.
Our emergency response teams are fully staffed and extremely well trained to handle high-risk, high-pressure tree emergencies, and will usually respond to your emergency tree service call within one to two hours. We know how stressful and disruptive a tree emergency can be to you, regardless of whether a heavy branch falls through your roof or if debris blocks your driveway. Not only do we provide you with expert technical services, but we also offer peace of mind and rapid relief to help restore safety to your home or business as soon as possible.
Common Tree Emergencies We Handle
The typical causes of tree emergencies are numerous; however, all tree emergencies have a few key traits. All emergency conditions are a direct threat to public safety and can result in extreme costs of repairs if not immediately attended to. Below are some of the most common emergency conditions we respond to throughout Fall River and other surrounding areas of the South Coast.
Structural Damages from Fallen Timber
Damaging buildings: Heavy limbs, large trees, etc., which damage homes, garages, and/or sheds, create direct structural damage. These types of damage generally allow water into the damaged roof, window, and/or siding, creating damage from rain and/or snow.
Entanglement and Obstructions by Vehicle
Damage to vehicles by falling limbs: If a tree branch falls onto your car while it is parked in your driveway or in a parking lot, you run the risk of causing harm to yourself as well as damaging your vehicle. Therefore, it is important to remove these obstructions rapidly to avoid additional damage to the vehicle and to enable safe use of the vehicle.
Widow Makers (Hanging Limbs)
Hanging limbs: Hanging, snapped, or partially broken branches are extremely hazardous. Any number of things can cause hanging limbs to fall without warning at any time. This creates serious risks to individuals walking underneath them.
Storms that Cause Extensive Tree Damage
Tree failure due to weather-related failure: The South Coast has many instances where storms produce wind that will topple trees and cause extensive property-wide failures, including but not limited to fallen trees and snapped branches that need to be cleared.
Blocking Access and Right-of-Ways
Blockage of access and right-of-ways: Trees blocking entry to homes, businesses, and/or emergency service vehicles, such as police cars, ambulances, or fire trucks, create serious safety issues for those who depend upon access to these locations.
Contact with Power Lines
Trees contacting power lines: Trees or branches that contact, or hang over, electrical power lines are extremely hazardous and may create a fire hazard or an electrocution hazard. Therefore, a rapid professional response is required when this type of emergency arises.
Lean and Soil Instability
Instability: Trees that are leaning or exhibit signs of soil heaving at their bases indicate instability and possible imminent failure. Emergency pruning or bracing is typically required to stabilize unstable trees to prevent damage to adjacent structures and/or injury to people or animals.

Tree emergency service requires far more than just knowledge of tree care. It demands immediate action, crisis management, and the ability to work effectively under extreme stress and pressure. This is why we believe our emergency services in Fall River represent the best in this area of the country.
True 24 Hour Service
Immediate Call Answering: While many companies claim to be available to take emergency calls at any time, the reality is that they may have no one available to answer your call until after they have taken other non-emergency calls. We answer all calls during business hours, nights, and weekends, as well as on holidays. We understand that emergencies do not schedule themselves and therefore will not ask you to wait until later to address your emergency needs.
Availability Throughout the Year
Our emergency capabilities are the same throughout the year, whether you are dealing with a summer tornado, a fall hurricane, or a winter nor’easter. We provide emergency tree removal services regardless of what the weather may bring to Fall River and the surrounding areas.
Holiday Availability
We understand that emergencies occur 365 days per year, and therefore, we remain open and available 365 days per year. While other tree removal companies may close their doors for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Day, and other holidays, we are here to serve you. If your tree falls on a holiday, you can count on us to come and remove it.

Each of our emergency vehicles is equipped with a comprehensive set of specialized tools such as multiple chainsaws, professional rigging gear, climbing equipment, and generators.
Redundant Tools to Ensure Reliability
To prevent our operations from being delayed due to breakdowns of equipment, each vehicle carries duplicate tools and supplies so that we can continue to work without interruption.
Generator-Powered Lighting System
We use a portable generator-powered lighting system to illuminate night work areas, making them safer and more efficient for us to cut through and around trees.
Large Capacity Chippers & Heavy Duty Rigging Systems
We also maintain large-capacity chipping equipment, advanced rigging systems, and crane capability for handling the largest and heaviest emergency removals.
Our Emergency Response Process
Your emergency services provider should be reliable to have your emergency responded to as quickly and efficiently as possible to resolve your emergency. That’s why this is how our emergency response protocol works:
1. Live Person Responds Immediately
Live Person Answers Emergency Call: The first time you contact us regarding an emergency, you will receive assistance from a live emergency expert, not an answering machine or a recorded message. Live human interaction during an emergency allows for the beginning of your recovery process.
2. Arrival at your location as soon as possible
Quick arrival at your property: We normally arrive at your property within one to two hours of receiving an emergency phone call within our Fall River service area. All emergency calls that indicate life-threatening situations are dispatched immediately.
3. Inspect the Hazard and your Safety
Full Inspection of Hazardous Area: Before any equipment is activated, we will inspect your hazardous site for other hidden hazards. These hazards include electrical dangers, building structural instability, “widow makers” which include branches and limbs that hang, potential gas leaks, and additional tree collapse hazards.
4. Prioritize the order of operations
Develop a Plan of Operation Based on Priority: Following the inspection of your hazardous area, we will create a plan of operation based on priority. First, all life safety hazards will be addressed; second, your property will be protected; third, and finally, all debris will be cleaned up. By addressing all the most serious hazards first, we can ensure your family and our crew members are safe while still working under time constraints.
5. Execute the plan safely
The plan of operation will be executed as safely as possible. Although we must act quickly, we cannot sacrifice safety. In addition to utilizing professional-grade personal protective equipment (PPE), our crews also use technical rigging methods that have been developed through years of experience to ensure the safety of both your family and our crew.
6. Protect your property immediately
Provide Temporary Weather Protection: If a fallen tree punctures your roof or damages a wall, we will not simply cut the wood and leave. In addition to removing the fallen tree, we can install temporary weather protection using heavy-duty tarpaulins or coverings to protect your property from further rain or snow damage until your permanent repair options are available.
7. Document evidence for your insurance claim
Document the entire event for your insurance claim. To aid in the processing of your insurance claim, we will document the entire event. This documentation includes: high-resolution photographs of the damage caused by the emergency, the steps taken to mitigate the emergency, and the final condition of your property once the hazard has been removed.
8. Coordinate restorative work for your property
Evaluate and Recommend any Additional Restoration Work. Once the emergency has been resolved, we will conduct a thorough evaluation of any additional restoration work needed to bring your property back into its original healthy condition. This could include: scheduling stump removal, performing in-depth health assessments of any remaining trees, or developing a plan to perform preventative trimming to help prevent a similar emergency from occurring again.
