Emergency Storm Damage Tree Removal, 24/7 — Virginia Beach

Call (757) 319-5131If a tree just came down
Get everyone clear of the tree and stay away from any downed wire — call 911 first if a line is down, gas is leaking, or someone is hurt. Then call a licensed, insured crew rather than cutting it yourself, because a fallen trunk holds tension and can kick back. For emergency tree removal in Virginia Beach and storm damage across Hampton Roads, Art-is-Tree LLC answers 24/7 at (757) 319-5131 — a real person, day or night. Photograph the damage before anything is moved.
The First 10 Minutes
A tree just came down. Here’s exactly what to do — in order — before anyone touches a saw.
- 1
Get everyone clear
Move people and pets well away from the tree and anything it is leaning on. Stay clear of wires — treat every downed line as live.
- 2
Call 911 if it’s serious
If a power line is down, gas is leaking, or the tree hit a home with people inside, call 911 and the power company first.

Don’t cut it yourself
A fallen tree is loaded with tension and can kick back or roll without warning. This is where most homeowner injuries happen.
Coastal Storms Are Hard on Hampton Roads Trees
Hampton Roads sits on flat, sandy soil with a high water table, and that changes how trees fail here. When a storm dumps rain for hours, the ground saturates and loses its grip on the root plate. A loblolly pine or water oak that stood for fifty years can tip over whole — roots and all — in soil that’s turned to soup.
The wind does the rest. Our tallest pines catch a gust like a sail, and one split or a hidden pocket of rot is all it takes for a limb — or the whole trunk — to end up on a roof.
“The trees that fail in a storm almost always had the problem long before the storm showed up.”
That’s why timing matters. Risk isn’t spread evenly across the year — it spikes with hurricane season and again with winter nor’easters. A little storm-prep trimming before the season beats an emergency call during it.
Storm & Tree-Failure Risk by Month in Hampton Roads
Peak danger runs August through October with hurricane season, with a second spike from winter nor’easters.
