Chattanooga's location at the mouth of the Tennessee Valley puts us in the path of remnants of Gulf hurricanes, spring squall lines that race across the Cumberland Plateau, and the occasional winter ice storm. When weather hits, Chattanooga Tree Care Pros dispatches storm crews 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across the entire metro.
We handle every aspect of storm damage cleanup — trees on houses, limbs across driveways, partial uprooting, broken tops hung in standing trees, and full debris removal from a single yard or an entire neighborhood. Every crew is fully insured, ISA-led, and trained for the specific hazards storm-damaged trees carry: hidden trunk splits, branches under massive spring tension, and partially lifted root plates.
We work directly with insurance adjusters, document damage with photos and written reports, and can bill insurance directly with your authorization. Our goal is to restore safety to your property quickly, with zero secondary damage from the cleanup itself.

Why Storm-Damaged Trees Are Especially Dangerous
A tree that has survived a storm but sustained damage often hides far more risk than a tree that fell cleanly. Trunk splits inside hollows, branches loaded with spring tension, broken tops resting precariously against neighboring limbs, and partially lifted root plates can all release with little warning. Storm cleanup is the single most dangerous work tree crews perform, and the failure rate of untrained crews is high. We refuse to take shortcuts.
Working With Your Insurance
If a tree from your property damaged a structure, your homeowners policy almost always covers removal and structural repair. We document the damage in adjuster-friendly format — itemized scope, photos, and ANSI-compliant work plan — and can communicate directly with your carrier. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that even removal of trees that fell but did not hit structures is sometimes covered depending on policy language. Ask your adjuster, and ask us for the documentation you need.
What Cleanup Includes
Every storm cleanup includes felling and removing the damaged tree(s), chipping brush, hauling chips, cutting and stacking wood to your preferred length (or hauling it away at no extra charge), tarping exposed structures if needed, and a complete final rake-out. We do not leave a single stick behind.
Response Times Across the Metro
From our Ringgold Road location we typically reach Chattanooga proper within 30 minutes, East Ridge and Hixson within 45 minutes, and Signal Mountain, Soddy-Daisy, Cleveland, and into Georgia within an hour. During major events with multiple simultaneous calls, we triage by severity — life-safety first, structural damage second, access blockages third.
