If a Tree Falls...
After we make
our storm preparations, all we can do is hunker down and hope we don't hear the
crash of a limb or tree. If something happens, here are some answers to FAQs
about problems we hope you don't encounter.
Tree
or Branch on Utility Lines
This is dangerous. Call the utility and report the situation,
then stay clear.
Tree Falls on Borough Property
Contact us to remove it, 201-569-5252, even if the tree was on
your property before it fell.
Tree Falls on my Property
If a neighbor's tree falls on your property, you are typically
responsible for whatever portion is on your property.
Tree Damages my Property
Take photos for insurance as soon as possible. Contact your
insurance company and report the claim as soon as possible. If the situation is
dangerous, you'll need to remove the tree immediately and not wait for
adjusters.
Removing
Your Own Trees or Tree Branches
If you have trees or substantial branches come down, unless you
are experienced with a chainsaw, call us -- or another trained, insured,
licensed professional -- not a handyman with a saw. Chainsaw accidents by
untrained users are all too common and trees under load with heavy snow or ice
are unpredictable even for professionals.
