By American Advance Tree – Serving Fountain Inn, SC
It was a quiet evening in Fountain Inn. The sky had turned that familiar steel gray, and a storm rolled in faster than expected. Wind howled through the streets, rain battered rooftops, and lightning flashed across the sky. When the storm passed, it left behind more than just puddles and broken branches—it left chaos.
For one family, a massive oak had crashed onto their driveway, blocking their car in. For another, a pine tree leaned precariously toward their home, threatening to fall with the next gust of wind.
Moments like these are stressful, overwhelming, and often dangerous. When disaster strikes, knowing what to do—and who to call—can make all the difference.
At American Advance Tree, we understand how frightening and urgent these situations can be. That’s why we offer fast, reliable emergency tree services right here in Fountain Inn, SC, and the surrounding areas. Here’s what you need to know if you ever find yourself facing down a fallen tree or storm damage.
The Problem: Storm-Damaged or Fallen Trees
When severe weather hits—whether it’s a thunderstorm, high winds, or even the occasional ice storm in the Upstate—trees often take the brunt of the impact. Heavy limbs can snap. Roots can be pulled from soggy soil. Entire trees can fall, causing damage to homes, vehicles, fences, or power lines.
This kind of damage can be dangerous in multiple ways:
- Blocked roads or driveways
- Damage to structures
- Downed power lines create electrical hazards
- Unstable trees or limbs threatening to fall at any moment
When you’re standing in your yard looking at a tree that’s toppled over or hanging by a thread, the question becomes: What do I do now?
Step 1: Stay Safe
First and foremost, do not approach the tree, especially if it’s near power lines or resting on your home. These situations can be unpredictable and hazardous. Keep your distance and ensure your family and pets are safe.
If there are downed power lines, call your utility company immediately. They’ll dispatch emergency crews to handle the electrical threat before any tree work can begin.
Step 2: Call a Trusted Emergency Tree Service
Once everyone is safe, it’s time to take action.
