Uprooted Pine Tree Laying on House

A large pine uprooted during a storm and came down directly on this Hixson home. That's not a situation where you wait. Every hour that tree sits on the roof is another hour water, debris, and structural stress can make things worse inside.

We took the call and got on-site right after it happened. The first priority was getting the tree off the structure without causing more damage in the process. That's where having the right equipment makes all the difference - we used our grapple crane to lift and remove sections of the tree in a controlled way, piece by piece, rather than just cutting blindly and letting things fall.

Once the tree was off, we got up on the roof to clear the remaining debris and assess the damage. With the roof exposed, tarping it fast is critical to protect the interior. We got that done before leaving the property, which meant the homeowners could safely re-enter and the cleanup and repair process could actually begin.

Jobs like this one are exactly why emergency response matters. It's not just about the tree - it's about getting a family back into their home safely, as fast as possible. We service all of Chattanooga and surrounding areas, we stay ready for calls like this one.
