Most emergency storm damage cleanup here follows freezing rain rather than wind. Snow slides off a crown without doing much harm, but freezing rain builds a shell of ice around every twig and small branch.
A crown can end up carrying several times its own weight by morning, with no wind at all. Wide-spreading trees and multi-stemmed silver maples on the river flats are usually the first to break.
There are four things worth doing before the emergency storm damage cleanup crew arrives, and all of them make the site safer and the claim simpler:
- If a hydro line is involved, call the utility first and stay well away from anything the tree is touching, including fences, gates and vehicles - Keep away from any part of the tree still standing, because a tree that has failed once is under strain and may fail again - Take photographs before anything is moved, as your insurer will want them - Note what fell, where it landed, and whether anyone is trapped or shut out
We attend the most dangerous emergency storm damage cleanup jobs first rather than working through calls in the order they arrive. We think it is fairer to say so plainly.
Trees on houses, trees blocking the only way in or out, and trees across a public road come first. Outbuildings, vehicles, fences and branches hanging over a walkway come next. A tree lying on an open lawn with nothing at risk can safely wait a few days.
A branch that is bent or trapped under the weight of another branch is holding a great deal of stored energy. When it is cut in the wrong place, it springs back faster than a person can move.
Knowing which piece is holding the load, and the order in which to release each one, is the most important part of this work. A saw bought for cutting firewood is not the right tool for a wind-thrown tree, and we would encourage you to wait for a crew.
Emergency storm damage cleanup has two separate parts, making the property safe and clearing away the debris, and both appear on the same written sheet so the cost is clear.
The quote sets out what will be removed, what will be left standing, and whether the stump will be ground out now or booked for later. Cutting a tree off a roof in sections is a different job from chipping the branches afterward.
Yes, and it takes only a few minutes while we are already there. A storm strong enough to need emergency storm damage cleanup has usually loosened other trees nearby.
Roots may have shifted without the tree falling, and branches may have cracked without coming down. Finding those now is far cheaper than dealing with them after the next storm.

View Stump Grinding and RemovalTell us what the tree is doing and where in the area you are. We will visit, then send you a written quote setting out the method, where the branches and wood will go, and anything not included in the price.
The species and rough height are helpful, and so is your street, because access affects the price more than size does. Please tell us what is underneath the tree, and mark the request urgent if a storm caused the damage. Everything except a way of reaching you is optional.
