Unfortunately, disasters happen. But that's what we're here for.
Who do I call when a storm brings a tree down?
Call us at 864-508-4100. We are an on-call 24/7 tree company in Central, we serve the Upstate within about 30 minutes of our office, and we have handled plenty of insurance claims. With climbers, a 75 foot bucket truck, an 89 foot spider lift and a 100+ foot grapple saw truck, a tree on your house is worked down piece by piece to prevent any further damage.
If a tree is on your house
If you've had a tree fall on your home, rest assured, we have handled plenty of insurance claims and can help you navigate a rough part in your life. We offer 24/7 emergency storm damage response and have the experience and willingness to help.
Call us immediately or fill out the form below. If there is widespread storm damage in our area, we may experience extremely high call volumes but will return your phone call as soon as possible. You can fill out the form and we will put you in line and respond as soon as we're able to.
You can't control what happens with the weather, but you can control who you call afterwards. We're here to help and we'll get through this together.
Storm damage cleanup
By quickly responding to storm damage, you prevent further damage, allow quicker time for structural repairs, and promote a safer environment for your property. A big part of our quality tree care is providing you with peace of mind. We can immediately begin in all emergency situations because we are an on-call 24/7 tree company.
Do not put yourself in danger after a storm. Let us assess the damage and get it cleaned up quickly. We can also help you decide on the best option moving forward and determine whether the tree can be saved. We deal with insurance claims frequently, so let us do the footwork for you.
Get ahead of the next storm
The good thing about storm damage to trees is that you can be proactive. Trees usually give warnings long before they fail: hanging or broken branches, mushrooms or fungus, hollow areas in limbs and trunks, cracking, disturbed ground, a lot of dead limbs, or a tree that is newly leaning. If you notice any of these, give us a call and have it looked at on a sunny day, not when the forecast turns dark.
Look up and note any limbs hanging over your roof, your driveway or a power line. Those are the ones to take care of first. Dead wooding takes out the limbs most likely to break, and thinning lets the wind pass through your tree instead of pushing against it like a sail. Fall to Winter is the proper season to trim, and estimates are free. Don't let the next storm sneak up on you!
What your neighbors are saying
We had a large hickory tree fall during a severe thunderstorm with the top of the tree leaning against our house. The services provided by Mullinax were extremely efficient and professional. Their crew did excellent work and cleaned up following the removal and trimming of several trees. We highly recommend this company and their expertise.Sondra Google review, July 2023
Questions people ask
A tree just fell on my house. What do I do first?
Get everyone out from under it and away from any downed lines. Then call us at 864-508-4100. Take photos for your insurance once it is safe to do so, and do not try to cut anything yourself.
Do you work with insurance?
Yes. We deal with insurance claims frequently. We can help you through the process.
Do you really answer at night and on weekends?
We are an on-call 24/7 tree company. After a big storm, call volume gets very high and we work our own area first, but every call gets returned. The form on this page puts you in line.
Can the tree be saved?
Sometimes. If the trunk is sound and the damage is to limbs, a proper trim can save it. We will tell you honestly which way to go when we assess it.
Can I cut up the fallen tree myself?
Please don't put yourself in danger after a storm. With a storm-damaged tree it's sometimes hard to tell what is going on inside of it, and damaged limbs are more prone to breaking. Let us assess the damage and get it cleaned up for you.
A limb is down on a power line. What should I do?
Stay away from it and treat it as live, even if it looks harmless. Call your power company first to report it, and don't try to move it yourself. Working near live lines is a job for utility crews. Once the line is taken care of, call us about the tree.
How do I know if a tree is about to fall?
A little lean is normal. A tree that starts leaning after a storm is not. Watch for exposed roots around the base, heaving or cracked soil on the side opposite the lean, dead branches, mushrooms or fungus, and soft or crumbling wood. If you see any of these, call us and we will come take a look. Estimates are free.
What happens to the tree once it's off the house?
Whichever you prefer. Most of the time the limbs are chipped and everything is hauled away, so it's as if the tree never existed. If you want the wood cut and left for firewood, just tell us. Stump grinding can be added too.
Where do you take emergency calls?
Our service area falls approximately 30 minutes from our office in Central, which covers Central, Clemson, Seneca, Easley, Pickens, Liberty and the towns around them in Pickens, Anderson and Oconee counties. After a big storm we work our own area first. See all service areas.
