A tree on a structure lets water in with every rainfall — we remove, tarp and secure in one visit, 24/7
📞 CALL (800) 792-0212 NOW Request Free InspectionWhen a tree strikes your Two Rivers home or commercial property, the clock starts immediately. Water intrusion begins with the very next rainfall — sometimes within hours of the tree strike — as punctured roof decking, torn shingles, and cracked rafters provide direct pathways for rain to pour into your attic, walls, and living spaces. What starts as a small roof breach can rapidly become a mold outbreak, structural rot, and tens of thousands of dollars in secondary damage that could have been avoided.
Secondary collapse is another urgent concern. Storm-damaged trees and broken limbs that appear stable often are not — internal wood failure, root separation, and bark tension can cause sudden unexpected shifts hours or days after the original storm. These "widow-makers" can injure anyone working near the property, first responders, or family members trying to assess damage. Do not walk under hanging limbs or partially fallen trees.
If the tree is in contact with or near utility lines, treat the scene as a live electrical hazard and keep everyone at a safe distance. Never attempt to move a tree away from wires yourself — we coordinate directly with Wisconsin Public Service and local utilities to ensure lines are de-energized before our crew makes contact. Additionally, blocked driveways and egress routes created by fallen trees can prevent ambulance, fire, or police access in a secondary emergency — clearing that access is part of our priority response.
Most homeowners insurance policies carry a duty-to-mitigate clause, meaning your insurer expects you to take prompt, reasonable steps to prevent further damage to your property. Failure to act quickly can complicate your claim. Our thorough damage documentation, captured immediately on arrival, provides the photographic and written evidence your insurer needs to process your claim efficiently. Do not wait — (800) 792-0212 is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Two Rivers is a historic lakeside city of approximately 11,000 residents situated along Lake Michigan in Manitowoc County, roughly midway between Manitowoc to the south and the Door Peninsula to the north. The city sits at the confluence of the East Twin River and West Twin River — hence its name — and is bisected by waterways that shape both the character of its neighborhoods and the nature of its storm damage risks. Properties along the river corridors and near the lakeshore face elevated exposure to wind-driven storms, lake-effect precipitation events, and saturated soils that weaken tree root systems over time.
The city's residential areas span a range of established neighborhoods. The downtown core along Washington Street and 22nd Street features older homes with mature street trees — silver maples, American elms, and cottonwoods that can reach 60 to 80 feet in height. The East Side neighborhoods near Neshotah Park and the Lake Michigan shoreline experience the most intense wind exposure, as storms tracking across the lake arrive with full fetch. The West Side neighborhoods near Lincoln High School and the areas surrounding Magee Park offer more shelter from lake winds but face significant storm threats from fast-moving inland convective cells during summer and autumn. The Sandy Bay area to the north and residential streets near the Two Rivers High School campus round out the city's geography.
Two Rivers and the broader Manitowoc County region experience a humid continental climate with well-defined storm seasons. Late spring and summer bring thunderstorm complexes capable of producing straight-line winds exceeding 70 mph, hail, and occasional tornadoes. Lake Michigan moderates temperatures but also contributes to intense lake-effect snowfalls in late autumn and early winter that load tree branches with wet, heavy snow — a leading cause of limb failure and whole-tree toppling. Trees stressed by any of these events may not fail immediately; weakened root systems and internal decay can cause failure days or weeks later during a subsequent storm. Our crews are trained to identify structurally compromised trees that require preventive action before they become an emergency.
Every tree situation is different. Whether it's a 60-foot silver maple through your garage roof or a cluster of storm-snapped pines blocking your driveway, Allied has the equipment and expertise to handle it safely and efficiently.
Storm-felled trees are among the most dangerous removal scenarios precisely because they are unpredictable. A tree that appears to have simply fallen in a straight line often contains enormous stored tension in the wood fibers — energy that releases explosively when a chainsaw cut relieves it in the wrong direction. Our crews are trained in directional felling, tension-reading, and controlled piece-by-piece dismantling that keeps every part of the operation predictable and safe.
We handle trees on roofs, trees on vehicles, trees across fences, trees blocking driveways, and trees that have partially uprooted and are leaning dangerously over structures. Every scenario gets a systematic approach: assessment first, rigging plan second, then careful sectional removal from top to bottom.
Call (800) 792-0212 — We respond in 60 minutes.
When a tree has struck your home, garage, or commercial building, the removal is only the beginning of the emergency. The open cavity left in your roof — even a relatively small one — becomes a funnel for every raindrop until it is sealed. Allied Emergency Services is unique in that we perform tree removal AND emergency structural protection in the same visit, with the same crew.
After the tree is safely removed, our team immediately installs heavy-duty 6-mil polyethylene tarping over the damaged roof area, secured with wooden battens and screws to withstand wind uplift. Any broken windows or compromised door frames are boarded with 3/4-inch plywood. This prevents immediate weather intrusion, deters opportunistic entry, and satisfies your insurance carrier's mitigation requirement — all before we leave the property.

Not every tree emergency involves a fully toppled tree. In many cases, it is a massive split limb hanging by a strip of bark — what arborists call a "widow-maker" — that poses the greatest immediate threat. These suspended limbs can weigh hundreds or thousands of pounds and can drop without warning, crushing vehicles, structures, or anyone standing below. They require crane or bucket truck access and precision rigging to lower safely rather than allowing them to fall uncontrolled.
Allied operates crane and aerial bucket equipment capable of reaching limbs at heights that ladders and standard boom lifts cannot safely address. We also handle whole-tree removal in tight urban lots where a straight fell is impossible — properties in Two Rivers' older downtown neighborhoods near Washington Street and Mishicot Road often feature mature trees in close proximity to structures, utilities, and neighboring properties that demand piece-by-piece crane extraction.
Call (800) 792-0212 — 24/7 crane response available.
After the emergency removal is complete, you deserve a property that looks and functions normally — not a landscape littered with logs, brush piles, and a protruding stump that becomes a tripping hazard, a lawn mower obstacle, and a magnet for carpenter ants and wood-boring beetles. Allied Emergency Services handles full site cleanup as part of our comprehensive service offering.
Stump grinding reduces the remaining stump below grade level, eliminating the above-ground hazard and allowing you to eventually re-seed or sod the area. All limbs and brush are either chipped on-site or hauled away. Log sections can be bucked and left for firewood if you prefer, or loaded and removed entirely. By the time our crew packs up, your property is safe, accessible, and presentable — not a construction zone.

Two Rivers and the Manitowoc County Lakeshore region have a long history of significant severe weather. Understanding local storm patterns helps property owners prepare — and respond faster when storms strike.
The warm months bring the highest frequency of severe storm activity to Two Rivers. Supercell thunderstorms and squall lines track across Lake Michigan and the Midwest corridor, capable of producing straight-line winds exceeding 70 mph, large hail, and torrential rainfall. These events typically strike with little warning, and mature trees throughout the city's residential neighborhoods — particularly the large silver maples and cottonwoods along river corridors — are highly susceptible to wind throw and limb failure. Following major summer storm events, Allied typically receives dozens of emergency calls from Two Rivers and surrounding Manitowoc County communities within hours of a storm's passage.
Two Rivers' position directly on Lake Michigan makes it one of the more snow-vulnerable communities on Wisconsin's eastern coast. When cold arctic air passes over the relatively warm open water of Lake Michigan in late autumn, intense lake-effect snow bands develop — sometimes dropping 12 to 24 inches of heavy, wet snow over a narrow geographic corridor. This wet snow accumulates dramatically on leafy or evergreen trees, adding thousands of pounds to canopy structures not designed to carry that load. Limb failures, whole-tree uprooting, and power line contacts are extremely common during major lake-effect events. The November 2019 lake-effect event dumped over 18 inches on Manitowoc County, triggering hundreds of tree and structural damage claims across the region.
Late-season ice storms represent one of the most destructive storm types for trees in the Two Rivers region. When rain falls through a freezing air layer and coats branches in glaze ice, an average tree can accumulate hundreds of additional pounds of ice loading. Branches that withstand decades of wind and snow can shatter under ice weight in a matter of hours. Entire tops of mature trees can fail, sending massive sections through roofs, onto vehicles, and across roads. The spring 2018 ice storm affected a wide swath of eastern Wisconsin, leaving significant damage throughout Manitowoc and Calumet counties and generating emergency tree calls well into the following week as delayed failures continued.
Remnants of Gulf tropical systems and strong post-frontal wind events commonly affect Wisconsin in early autumn. These sustained wind events — sometimes persisting for 12 to 24 hours at 30 to 50 mph with higher gusts — are particularly effective at failing trees already stressed by summer drought, bark beetle activity, or previous wind damage. Trees that appeared healthy all summer often topple during these extended wind events as root systems fatigued by saturated and then dried soils lose their grip. Two Rivers' proximity to Lake Michigan amplifies wind speeds during these events as storms track along the shoreline.
Every year, homeowners across Wisconsin are seriously injured or killed attempting to remove storm-damaged trees themselves. Emergency tree removal after a storm is categorically different from routine tree trimming — it is one of the most physically dangerous tasks any homeowner can undertake, and the risks multiply dramatically when the tree is already partially fallen, lodged against a structure, or wrapped around utility equipment.
The primary hazard is stored mechanical energy. A tree trunk that is bent, twisted, or pinned under tension contains enormous kinetic energy — energy that releases instantaneously when a saw cut relieves the bind. This is called "spring-back" or "barber chair" failure, and it can launch heavy wood sections with lethal force in any direction, including directly at the person holding the saw. Professionals use wedges, hydraulic equipment, and calculated cut sequences to release tension in controlled stages. Without this training and equipment, a seemingly straightforward cut becomes a life-threatening gamble.
Ladder work compounds the danger. Attempting to reach upper portions of a storm-damaged tree from a ladder — while the trunk is unstable, branches are unpredictable, and footing is compromised by wet or debris-covered ground — is an invitation to a fall at exactly the worst possible moment. Our crews use aerial lifts, bucket trucks, and rigging systems that keep workers at safe angles and secure positions throughout the operation.
Utility proximity is a third critical risk. Downed or sagging lines that appear dead may still be energized. Ground current from a downed line can extend 30 feet in wet conditions. Power lines can also re-energize without warning as utility companies restore service to the neighborhood. Our crew always confirms utility status before approaching any tree within falling or contact distance of overhead lines.
Beyond the physical dangers, professional removal also means insurance-grade documentation. Our team captures time-stamped photographs and written damage descriptions that create a clear record of the storm's impact on your property. This documentation helps your insurer understand the cause and scope of damage and expedites the repair claim process. Amateur removal — especially when it creates additional damage or alters the original damage pattern — can complicate or even jeopardize your insurance claim. One call to Allied protects both your property and your claim.
Allied Emergency Services is a licensed restoration contractor. We document damage, remove hazards, protect your structure, and perform permanent repairs. We work alongside your insurance process — but we are not adjusters and we do not handle your claim on your behalf.
The moment you call, our dispatch team activates the nearest available crew. Upon arrival in Two Rivers, we conduct a rapid safety assessment: identify utility hazards, assess structural integrity, evaluate collapse risk, and establish a safe work perimeter. The immediate priority is removing the most dangerous elements — the tree sections actively threatening the structure or blocking egress — and getting the building protected against further weather intrusion with tarping and board-up. Stabilization happens first, before any non-emergency work proceeds. Our crew chief establishes clear communication with you about what we're doing and why, so you're never in the dark about the scope of the immediate response.
Before, during, and after the removal, our crew captures comprehensive photographic and written documentation of all damage. This includes close-up photos of the impact point on the structure, wide-angle photos establishing the relationship between the tree and the property, interior damage photos if accessible and safe, and a written damage description covering materials affected, estimated linear feet of damaged roofing or decking, and the species and approximate size of the tree. All photos are time-stamped. This documentation package is provided to you in full and is formatted to support a homeowners insurance repair claim. We can also provide a written scope of work detailing all removal and protective measures performed, which serves as supporting documentation for your adjuster's visit.
After emergency stabilization and documentation, you'll notify your insurance carrier and open a claim if you haven't already. Allied Emergency Services is experienced working alongside homeowners insurance processes for restoration repair work — we understand how adjusters evaluate damage, what documentation they need, and how to present scope of work in a format that supports efficient claim processing. We are available to discuss the work we performed with your adjuster when they arrive for their inspection. We are a restoration contractor — we document damage and perform repairs. We are not insurance adjusters or public adjusters, and we do not negotiate, adjust, or settle claims on your behalf. Our job is to fix your property correctly; your insurer's job is to evaluate and pay the covered portion of that repair.
Once the emergency phase is complete and your insurance process is underway, Allied moves into permanent restoration. This may include roof replacement or repair, decking replacement, structural repair of damaged rafters or wall framing, window and door replacement, siding repair, interior water damage remediation if moisture intrusion occurred, and any other work required to restore your Two Rivers property to pre-storm condition. Allied is a full-service restoration contractor — we handle all phases of the repair so you don't have to coordinate multiple contractors. One company, one point of contact, one accountability structure from the initial emergency call through the final walkthrough.
Before we close out any restoration project, we conduct a comprehensive final walkthrough with you. Every repair item is reviewed against the original scope of work. We verify that all materials match the specified products, all workmanship meets Wisconsin building code requirements, and the completed work restores the property to pre-storm appearance and function. If any item doesn't meet your satisfaction, we address it before the project is closed. We stand behind our work — Allied Emergency Services is built on the reputation of doing the job right, the first time, even under the pressure of an emergency response timeline.
Reviews represent typical customer experiences.
"A massive silver maple came down on our garage roof during the overnight storm — I called Allied at 6 AM and they had a crew at our place off of Memorial Drive by 7:15. They had the tree off the roof, the damage documented, and a tarp installed before my insurance adjuster even returned my call. Absolutely incredible response time and the crew was professional and thorough the entire time. I cannot recommend them enough for anyone dealing with storm tree damage in Two Rivers."
"After the big wind event last October, we had a split cottonwood hanging directly over our back deck. Three other companies told me they couldn't get to me for a week. Allied was out the same afternoon with a bucket truck and had the whole thing down in about three hours without touching the deck. They also ground the stump a few days later and cleaned up every last piece of debris. The whole experience — from first call to final cleanup — was smooth and professional."
"We had an ice storm situation in early April where two large pine branches came through our sunroom roof. I was a nervous wreck. Allied picked up on the first ring at 11 PM, explained exactly what they would do, and had a team here within the hour. They removed the branches, boarded the roof opening, and took detailed photos for our insurance company. The crew was calm, competent, and genuinely cared about doing it right. Our insurance adjuster commented that our documentation from Allied was the most thorough he'd seen on a tree claim in years."
From the moment you call to the moment your property is secured, every step is systematic and efficient. Here's exactly what happens when you call Allied Emergency Services in Two Rivers.
Dial (800) 792-0212 any time, day or night. Our live dispatcher answers immediately, gathers your location and situation details, and dispatches the closest available crew to Two Rivers. You receive a real estimated arrival time — no vague "we'll try to get there soon."
Our crew arrives with full equipment: chainsaws, rigging, tarping, boarding materials, and safety gear. The crew chief conducts a rapid hazard assessment — utilities, structural stability, access routes, neighboring property risk — and communicates a clear plan to you before any work begins.
Before the first cut, we photograph all damage thoroughly. Time-stamped images capture the tree's position, the impact point, structural damage, and any secondary hazards. This documentation is created in the original damage state — before removal alters the scene — providing your insurer with accurate pre-remediation evidence.
Using appropriate equipment for the situation — chainsaw with wedges for tension management, rigging for controlled lowering, crane or bucket truck when needed — our crew removes the tree systematically and safely. Every cut is planned. Every section is controlled. Neighboring structures, vehicles, and landscape features are protected throughout.
Immediately after the tree is removed, structural protection goes on. Heavy-duty tarps over roof damage. Plywood boards over broken windows and compromised openings. Your structure is sealed against weather and secured against entry before we leave the property — in the same visit.
Debris is cleared, limbs are chipped or hauled, and the work area is cleaned. Before departing, our crew chief walks the site with you, answers your questions, provides copies of damage documentation, and gives you a clear picture of recommended next steps for permanent repairs and insurance coordination.
Our team responds within 1 hour — don't let damage get worse.
