Tree on the house
Tree on House Cleanup in Atlanta, GA
A tree through the roof means three or four trades at once. Make one call and we line them up, in the right order, while we deal with the water.
Atlanta is one of the most tree-covered cities in the country, and that's beautiful until a pine comes through the bedroom ceiling at midnight. Tree on house cleanup in Atlanta is a sequencing problem. The tree can't come off until the crane or tree crew can get there, the tarp can't go on until the tree is off, and the rain doesn't wait for either one.
That's where a single call helps. We coordinate with tree crews and roofers we trust so the work happens in the right order, and we do the inside work ourselves. That means getting water out, pulling wet insulation and ceiling material, protecting what's in the room and drying the structure with air movers and dehumidifiers. Thermal imaging shows how far the water ran inside the walls.
Don't let anyone cut the tree before it's documented. We photograph it where it fell, since your adjuster will want to see that, and we keep a record of every step. Coverage depends on your policy, but having the file right from the start helps. See our storm damage cleanup page, our tarping and board-up page and our insurance page.

Real reviews from people we have helped
I had a great experience with Mitigate First. They were professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the process. It’s not always easy to find a company you can trust when dealing with water damage, but they made the experience much less stressful. I really appreciate their hard work and would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of their services
Called Mitigate First for a flood restoration job and they were on-site fast, walked me through exactly what needed to happen, and had the water out and the space dried properly without any surprises. Pricing was fair and clear up front — no padding, no change orders. Would use them again and already have them saved as my go-to.
Had a leak in my bathroom, and Mitigate First came out immediately and was great! Levi and Moysh were awesome! They are super knowledgeable and professional, and helped me through the whole process. Definitely recommend!
Questions
Tree on House Cleanup FAQ
Who do I call when a tree falls on my house?
If anyone is hurt or a line is down, call 911 first. Then call us. We coordinate tree crews and roofers and take care of the water inside, so you aren't making five calls at once.
Does insurance cover a tree falling on my house in Atlanta?
Many homeowner policies cover a tree that damages the house, but it depends on your policy and deductible. Your carrier decides. We document the damage from the start so they have what they need.
Do you remove the tree yourselves?
We coordinate with tree crews we trust to get it off the house safely. Our part is organizing the job, the water mitigation inside and the documentation.
Should I pay a tree crew that knocks on my door?
Be careful. Check who they are and what they charge, and don't sign anything on the spot. Call us first and we'll help you figure it out.
How soon does the water need to come out?
Right away. Wet insulation and drywall can start supporting mold within 24 to 48 hours in Atlanta humidity.
