After the Storm: What to Do When Trees Fall on Your Property in the Portland Area
When high winds and heavy rain hit Oregon, downed trees can cause serious damage fast. Knowing what to do next keeps your family safe and prevents further loss.
1. Stay Clear and Assess from a Distance
Never walk under or near a fallen or leaning tree. Power lines and heavy limbs may still shift or break.
2. Document the Damage for Insurance
Take photos or videos of the affected area before cleanup begins. This helps with insurance claims and ensures you’re fully covered.
3. Call a Licensed Tree Service Immediately
North Woods Tree Service specializes in emergency tree removal across the Portland metro area. We respond quickly to clear hazards, protect property, and restore access.
4. Avoid DIY Removal
Attempting to cut or move a large tree can be extremely dangerous without the right equipment. Our crews use cranes, rigging systems, and bucket trucks to do it safely.
