Emergency and hazardous tree removals generally happen from storms.
When storms hit the northwest, we often get high winds and even lightning.
When trees fall, they can take down power lines with them.
If they fall on a home or business, they can break gas, electric, and plumbing lines, compromising all structures.
This creates an incredibly dangerous environment.
Here are the common causes of emergency tree services
Most Emergency tree service calls that we receive could have been prevented. As experts, we know this and it is easy for us to see telltale signs on a tree that it is dangerous however to the untrained eye we understand that it is not always so simple.
There are many things that you can do to protect yourself and your family from the catastrophe of having a tree or branches fall during a storm. Having your trees trimmed every year is a good start. During trimming a professional tree service company will be able to cut off any dead or dying or compromised branches.
If you have fir trees make sure that you have them thinned. Wind thinning is a good idea because fir trees have such a small root base and are often the ones in the Portland, OR area to fall. Wind thinning is when we remove branches and thin out the tree so the wind can move through it more easily.
If you see that you have a tree that is leaning, looks like it is dying or diseased or if you are unsure, call Monkeyman’s Tree Service, we will be happy to look at your tree and give you an estimate free of charge.
Branch failure is one of the easiest tree emergencies in Portland, OR, to prevent. By having a professional tree service company come and look at and trim your trees once a year you greatly minimize your risk of having branches break off and endanger yourself or your family during a storm. Monkeyman’s Tree Service will do things like prune any co-dominant branches (ones that are forked) and check for structural weaknesses. If branches have fallen from your tree and are on your home, driveway, cars, or other property items and you need help removing them. Call Monkeyman’s Tree Service today! We quickly remove any fallen branches and immediately send them through our high-powered wood chippers and take the chippings away. No matter how many branches have fallen Moneyman’s Tree Service will have your property looking back to normal in no time. Call today for a 24/7 free estimate.
Stem failure in Portland, OR, most often occurs because a tree has had a previous injury.
This often is the cause of past improper pruning techniques or damage to the branch collar.
When a tree is injured, it grows off the injury but does not become stronger without special care.
Monkeyman’s Tree Service will be able to look at your tree’s stem and see if it’s structurally sound enough to withstand a storm, or if it is a catastrophe waiting to happen.
Another common reason that stems fail, also often caused by neglect or poor tree pruning practices, is a codominant or a multi-dominant stem.
This means the tree forks or there are several main branches to the tree.
These trees are much more likely to fail, especially under the stress of high winds in a storm.
Monkeyman’s Tree Service will give you an estimate to get your tree taken care of before the stem fails.
If you are already in a situation where you need Portland, OR, emergency tree service, we are open 24/7 to help you.

Root failure often dates back to when the tree was first planted.
If your tree was planted too deep or incorrectly, there are a number of problems you could face later, the most common being from trunk girdling roots.
Often, the tree appears to be healthy for 15 or 20 years before it becomes apparent that the tree’s root system is not strong enough to support a full-grown tree and will not allow it to thrive.
When a tree does not have a healthy root system, the whole tree will become stressed.
The tree will not be able to withstand high winds and can be the cause of tree failure during a storm.
Monkeyman’s Tree Service specializes in tree root health and can decipher if a tree’s root systems are diseased, dying, or in trouble.
If a tree has already fallen on your Portland, OR, property due to root failure, Monkeymans tree service has been serving Portland Oregon’s tree service emergencies for more than 30 years.

Final review
A tree or limb that has already fallen on a structure, vehicle, or driveway; a tree newly leaning with soil lifting at the base; a split trunk or cracked major limb; or anything in contact with a power line. Those get an immediate response. A tree you’ve been meaning to deal with for two years is urgent, but it’s not an emergency.
Call the utility first, every time, and stay at least 30 feet back. In this region that’s PGE or Pacific Power, and the line has to be de-energized or cleared by their crew before anyone can work near it. Call us in parallel and we’ll coordinate with them, then handle the tree the moment the line is safe.
Yes — storm damage doesn’t keep business hours, and neither do we. Call the main line and you’ll reach a person who can dispatch a crew. Response time depends on how widespread the event is; during a regional ice storm we triage by hazard, and trees on occupied structures go first.
Coverage commonly applies when a tree has struck a covered structure, and often doesn’t when a tree simply fell in the yard — but it depends entirely on your policy. Photograph everything before the tree is moved. We provide itemized documentation and arborist reports built for claims, which adjusters generally accept without a follow-up visit.
Get everyone out of the affected part of the house, shut off gas if a line may be involved, and keep pets and kids well clear — a broken limb hung up in a canopy can drop without warning. Don’t climb, don’t pull on it, and don’t run a chainsaw on a tree under tension. Take photos from a safe distance for your claim.
From emergency removals to expert pruning, our customers trust Monkeyman’s Tree Service for fast, friendly, and flawless results, every time.

Current Review from October 1. 2026: We had several trees that needed pruning along with some big hedges. As usual, we called Monkeyman's, which is always reliable. Katie in the office is great, David, the arborist who estimated the job was thorough and helpful, and the crew who came out was excellent. Brooks was the crew leader and arborist who gave us great advice about each tree and made sure we were satisfied with the pruning. Brandon and Romondo (hope that is correct spelling!) did exceptional work too. The clean up was great. It's always a pleasure to work with this company. Review from two years ago: We had overgrown Leyland Cypress trees in our back yard that needed to be removed. We had used Monkeyman's service before with great results, so we called them again. Matt, the arborist, came out to give us an estimate. He was so knowledgable about trees and gave us such good advice about our situation. He is a real asset to the company! The estimate was reasonable. Leo and his crew came out and removed a gigantic tree, along with three other large trees. The crew was amazing and all of them worked so hard and did a wonderful job. Cleanup was great too. We highly recommend Monkeyman's.Posted on Google![]()

First, we really appreciated the knowledge and suggestions the arborist had for us when he came out to analyze the situation. We werel REALLY impressed with the 4 young men that came to cut large, dead branches on a very old, tall Doug Fir. Each one introduced themselves by name and were friendly and listened. It was amazing to see them work and problem solve as a team. They even cut down some small dead branches in addition to the ones we contracted for. Not one shrub or plant near the tree was disturbed and the clean up was outstanding! Big thanks to Giovanni, Gavin, Marcus, and Shaden. We didn't give a 5 star rating because there was some misunderstanding about the time they were to come. The contract gave a starting window; but the day before they were to come, the office called to make it 7:30am instead, way too early for all of that noise & bothering the nearby neighbors. After talking to the office, they did come at a reasonable hour- 8:45. We will definately recommend Monkeyman's to friends and neighbors.Posted on Google![]()

This was our second time using Monkeyman's Tree Service and I'm really glad we decided to go with them again! Communication was great. Cost was reasonable and we got on the schedule pretty fast too. They trimmed dead branches from all of our 6 large trees, raised the canopy and added a safety support system to our towering cherry tree as well. Everything looked wonderful and fresh at the end and they cleaned up the property thoroughly. We will definitely use these guys again for any future tree stuff!Posted on Google![]()
