Residential electrical wiring in Kansas City is often vulnerable to downed trees and limbs. As we enter into snow and ice storm season, it is important to know what to do if a tree on your property falls on a power line.

When a tree falls on power lines, the electric utility company that owns the lines is generally responsible for repairing them and restoring power. However, if the house, wiring, or metering equipment is damaged the homeowner is responsible to contact a licensed electrical contractor to complete the work. JMC Electric specializes in meter can and riser repairs and upgrades. JMC Electric offers a free onsite quote and will complete the service required as a turnkey service working with cities, utilities, and tree services.

Do Not Attempt To DIY!

Most importantly, fallen trees or limbs entangled in power lines are an extreme fire and electrocution hazard that you should never attempt to handle on your own. If a tree falls on your home, first account for everyone in the house, then call 911 to get help for anyone who is injured and instructions on staying safe until help arrives.

Sparks from the downed power line can start a fire, and live wires can transmit electricity into the surrounding ground. Additionally, fallen trees are often precarious and can shift, causing live wires to transmit the charge to different areas. People who attempt to remove or trim trees near power lines are injured and killed all the time. This is not a reasonable risk to take.
