Emergency Tree Removal — Fast, Safe, and Experienced Help When You Need It Most

When a storm hits and a tree comes down, everything feels urgent. The damage feels personal, the situation feels chaotic, and people want someone who can step in, take control, and fix what’s wrong without making things worse. If you are looking for emergency tree removal, call the best tree service Fort Wayne has to offer: Jason Pence Tree and Stump Service is the team people across Fort Wayne and northeast Indiana have trusted since 1992. We’ve seen every kind of storm this region can throw at us, and we’ve handled the most challenging tree removals you can imagine. Broken limbs across roofs, trees split in half and hanging dangerously, uprooted trunks leaning into homes, branches blocking driveways—you name it, we’ve dealt with it.

The first thing people learn when they call us is this: we move fast, and we know what we’re doing. Emergency tree situations aren’t regular jobs. They’re not “come out next week and trim this limb back.” They’re tense moments where someone needs help right now because something big, heavy, and unstable is sitting on the one thing that matters most—their home. And when that happens, skill matters. Experience matters. The right equipment matters. That’s why people call us.

Decades of Storm Experience with Emergency Tree Removal and Specialized Skills

Over the years, we’ve completed thousands of storm-related jobs. We’ve pulled trees off houses without causing additional structural damage. We’ve lifted massive trunks off garages, fences, sheds, and vehicles without creating new problems for homeowners. We’ve taken down dangerous hangers—those half-broken limbs dangling high overhead that could fall at any moment—using techniques that keep everyone safe. And when someone’s roof gets torn open from a limb punching straight through it, we can even seal up the damaged area so your home is protected until a roofer takes over. We know how stressful these situations feel, and the last thing we want is for rain or debris to make the damage worse.

A big part of emergency tree removal is understanding the pressure homeowners face. Storm damage interrupts life instantly. People have kids to care for, work to get to, and responsibilities they can’t put on hold. So when a tree lies across a driveway or blocks a front door, the entire family feels stuck. When a limb crashes onto the roof in the middle of the night, people lie awake, wondering if the structure will hold. That’s why we offer 24/7 service. If it’s an emergency, we come out as quickly as possible, day or night, because waiting until tomorrow isn’t always an option.

Safety, Judgment, and the Right Equipment

One thing we’ve learned over more than thirty years is that emergency tree removal takes more than a chainsaw and a truck. It takes judgment. You have to read the tree, understand the pressure points, see how the weight is distributed, and know where to cut and where not to cut. You have to understand how a trunk will roll when it hits the ground. You need to know how to tie off limbs so they lower in a controlled descent instead of swinging or dropping unpredictably. You have to think through the entire process step by step before making the first cut.

This level of experience protects property and prevents accidents. We’ve cleaned up plenty of “DIY attempts” where someone tried to remove a limb themselves and ended up making the problem worse—or getting hurt. Storm damage isn’t the place to take chances. Wet wood, twisted trunks, compromised bark, hidden splits, and heavy limbs overhead create situations where a wrong cut can send several hundred pounds of wood in the wrong direction. We treat every emergency with respect because safety isn’t negotiable in this business.

Working With Homeowners and Insurance Companies

People also appreciate that we know how to communicate clearly during stressful moments. When we show up, we walk through the situation with you, explain what needs to be done, and outline the safest, most efficient way to get the job finished. If you’re working with your insurance company, we can help there, too. Many homeowners aren’t sure what’s covered or how to document the damage. We work with insurance adjusters all the time, and we’re happy to photograph the damage, explain the situation, and help streamline the process so you aren’t left guessing what to do next.

Emergency tree removal also involves cleanup. No one wants to walk outside and see a clean roof but a yard full of debris. We haul away limbs, branches, logs, and brush so you don’t have to deal with the mess. If you want the wood left on-site for firewood, that’s fine too. Our goal is to leave your property safe, usable, and restored as much as possible after the storm.

Emergency Tree Removal FAQs

How do I know if I need emergency tree removal?

You need emergency service if a tree or large limb is on your house, blocking access, resting on utility lines, or leaning in a way that could fail at any moment. If you feel unsafe being in or near the area, treat it as an emergency and call right away.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency tree service?

Yes. Jason Pence Tree & Stump Service offers 24/7 emergency response for storm damage and hazardous trees. We will come out as quickly as possible to secure the site and begin safe removal work.

Will you work with my homeowner’s insurance company?

We frequently work with insurance adjusters and are glad to help. We can provide photos, basic descriptions of the damage, and invoices that clearly separate emergency tree work from optional additional services, which can make the claims process more manageable.

Can you protect my roof after removing a tree or limb?

In many cases, we can apply temporary protection, such as tarps or basic patching, to help keep water out until a roofing contractor can perform permanent repairs. The goal is to minimize further damage once the tree or limb is removed.

Is it safe for me to try removing a storm-damaged tree myself?

Usually not. Storm-damaged trees can be under extreme tension, and a single wrong cut can cause a trunk or limb to roll, drop, or spring in an unexpected direction. For any tree over a small size or near structures, vehicles, or power lines, it is much safer to call a professional crew with the right equipment.

How fast can you get here after I call?

Response time depends on weather, road conditions, and how many emergencies are active, but we always prioritize safety and urgency. When you call, we will give you an honest estimate and keep you updated if conditions change.

When you need experience, steady hands, and reliable service after a storm, we’re the call (260) 627-2332 you want to make. We’re here 24/7, and we will be there as quickly as we can.
