Fallen Tree / Storm Cleanup

Storm damage — fallen trees, debris, or structural damage needing emergency cleanup.

Call 727-312-9947 Send Emergency Request

For fire, suspected gas leaks, immediate electrical or fire hazards, medical emergencies, or any situation threatening life or safety, call 911 or the appropriate utility/emergency authority first. TBCRN is a contractor referral service and not an emergency response agency.

Storm damage from fallen trees, flying debris, or wind damage requires emergency cleanup and assessment. In Tampa Bay, hurricane season brings high winds and flying debris that can damage roofs, fences, and structures. TBCRN can priority-route your request to available tree service and general contractors for storm cleanup.

Immediate Steps to Take Now

Stay away from downed power lines — treat all lines as live

If a tree has fallen on your home, check for structural damage from a safe distance

Take photos of all damage for insurance documentation

Contact your insurance company to start a claim

If water is entering through damage, contain it with buckets or tarps

What NOT to Do

Do not approach downed power lines — call 911 or your utility company

Do not attempt to remove large trees yourself — this requires professional equipment

Do not climb on a storm-damaged roof
