24/7 Emergency Tree Service in Illinois
Tree on the house at 2am? Call. That is what the number is for.
Quick answer
For an emergency tree situation in Illinois, call Nova Terra Tree Services at (618) 322-6986; the line is answered 24/7. If a tree is on a structure or a power line, first get everyone away from the area and call your utility about the line and 911 if there is any injury or gas smell. Emergency response is priced by crew hours, typically $250 to $600 per hour depending on time of day and equipment needed.
Emergency tree work is a different animal from scheduled removal. The tree is already where it should not be, the load paths are unpredictable, and it is usually dark, wet, and windy. A trunk resting on a roof is holding tension you cannot see; cut the wrong piece first and it moves. This is the one category where calling a crew with the right rigging and insurance is not optional.
What's included
- Trees down on houses, garages, sheds, vehicles, and fences
- Driveways, roads, and farm access cleared
- Hanging and broken limbs, "widow makers", removed from canopies
- Uprooted and partially uprooted trees stabilized and taken down
- Emergency tarping coordination for opened roofs
- Documentation and photos for your insurance claim
- Answered 24/7, including holidays and through active storms
What drives the price
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Time of day | Night, weekend, and holiday calls cost more than daytime work. |
| Complexity | A trunk on a roof requires crane or rigging work and a slow, deliberate sequence. |
| Hazards present | Utility lines, gas meters, and compromised structures all add time and caution. |
| Crew size | Emergencies often need three or more people plus a spotter. |
| Debris volume | Multiple trees down means multiple loads out. |
No two properties price the same, which is why we quote on site instead of over the phone. The estimate is free and the number we write down is the number you pay.

Questions about 24/7 emergency tree service
A tree or limb on a house, garage, vehicle, or power line; a tree blocking the only way in or out; a trunk that has split or a root plate that has lifted; large limbs hung up in the canopy over a walkway or driveway. If it is going to cause damage or injury before the next business day, it is an emergency.
Yes. Storm nights are the busiest we get. Call (618) 322-6986 and you get a person, not a voicemail box.
Get everyone away from the tree and from anything it is touching, and stay out of the room under it. Treat every downed wire as live and call your utility. If you smell gas or anyone is injured, call 911 first. Take photos from a safe distance for your insurance.
Usually when the tree hit a covered structure; the removal is generally part of the repair claim. A tree that fell in the open yard and damaged nothing is often not covered. Policies vary; we document the scene and itemize the invoice so your adjuster has what they need.
Depends on where you are in the state and how widespread the storm was. We give you an honest window when you call rather than a promise we cannot keep. Life-safety and structure-contact situations go to the front of the queue.
We provide photos, a written scope, and an itemized invoice, and we will talk to your adjuster directly. We bill you, not the carrier, unless your policy is set up otherwise.
