Emergency tree service when you need it most
Storms in Ontario can change a property in minutes. A microburst, ice storm, or heavy wet snow can take down even healthy mature trees — sometimes onto homes, garages, fences, vehicles, or across driveways and roads.
When that happens, you need a tree service that answers the phone, shows up fast, and knows how to work safely under pressure. River Oak Tree Service Ltd provides 24/7 emergency tree response across Ontario.
When to call for emergency service
- A tree has fallen on your home, garage, vehicle, or fence
- A large limb is hanging precariously and could fall
- A tree is leaning dangerously after a storm
- A fallen tree is blocking a driveway, road, or exit
- Storm damage has exposed splits, cracks, or root failure
If anyone is injured or there's an active power line involved, call 911 and your utility first. Once the immediate danger is handled, call us and we'll handle the tree.
What to do while you wait
Stay clear of the tree and any branches still under tension — they can spring or shift unpredictably. Keep kids and pets indoors. If safe to do so, take photos of the damage from a few angles for your insurance claim.
Insurance-friendly documentation
Most homeowner insurance policies in Ontario cover tree removal when a tree damages a covered structure. We make the claim process as easy as possible by providing detailed photos, a written description of the damage and the work performed, and an itemized invoice your insurance company can process directly.
