Northern California storms leave behind fallen trees, flood debris, and property damage that can be overwhelming. Here's the right order of calls to make and what Franks & Son handles after the storm.
After the Storm Passes, the Work Starts
Northern California storms can hit Redding and Shasta County with high winds, heavy rain, and flooding that leaves behind fallen trees, snapped branches, mud, debris, and in some cases structural damage. The cleanup period is often more stressful than the storm itself because you are managing it on top of everything else in your life.
Franks & Son provides storm cleanup and debris removal services throughout Redding and Northern California. We handle the hauling so you can focus on assessing the damage and getting your property back in order.
Who to Call First
Utilities — if there are downed lines
If a power line is down on or near your property, call PG&E immediately and stay away from it. Do not approach downed electrical lines under any circumstances.
Your insurance company — before you clear anything
Document the damage with photos and video before removing any debris. Insurance adjusters may need to see the site as it was after the storm. Call and get guidance on what to document.
A tree service — for trees that are hung up or structural
Trees that are leaning against a structure, hung up in other trees, or blocking access need to be assessed by a tree service before cutting. We remove debris after the tree crew makes it safe.
Franks & Son — for hauling the debris away
Once it's safe to clear and you've documented the damage, we come in and haul away the branches, logs, debris, and materials that need to go.

Storm Cleanup in Rural Shasta County
Rural properties in Shasta County have different challenges after a storm. Long driveways get blocked by fallen trees, access roads flood or wash out, and the sheer volume of debris on larger properties is beyond what homeowners can clear with a chainsaw and a pickup truck.
We serve rural and remote properties throughout Shasta County, Tehama County, Trinity County, and neighboring areas. If access is limited, describe it when you call and we will assess the right equipment for the job.
Getting Help Fast After a Major Storm
After a significant storm event in the Redding area, demand for cleanup services spikes quickly. Call early — even before the storm is fully over if you can see that your property will need significant work. We schedule in order and try to get to the most urgent situations first.
