Storm Response for the Birmingham Metro

Central Alabama’s spring storm season and summer thunderstorms bring down thousands of trees across Jefferson and Shelby counties every year — and when it happens to you, the last thing you need is a dozen voicemails. Send us the details and we route your request to a crew that’s mobilizing in your area.

What Counts as an Emergency

• A tree or large limb on the roof, porch, or a vehicle
• A tree blocking the driveway or street access
• A leaning or cracked tree that could fall on a structure
• A tree resting on your service line (the utility must clear the main lines, but crews can handle trees on private property once it’s made safe)
• Hanging “widow-maker” limbs over walkways or play areas

What to Do Right Now

• Stay away from any tree touching a power line — call Alabama Power at 1-800-888-2726 first
• Don’t go into rooms beneath a tree that’s on the roof until it’s removed
• Take photos for your insurance claim before anything is moved
• Then request a crew — emergency calls are routed ahead of routine work

Insurance and Emergency Work

Most homeowner policies cover removal of a tree that has damaged a covered structure. Crews can provide itemized invoices and photos for your claim. Trees that fall in the yard without hitting anything are usually not covered, but the crew will give you a fair price either way.
