Most emergency storm damage cleanup here follows freezing rain rather than wind alone. 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 the next morning, with no wind involved at all. Wind often finishes the job the following afternoon, once a partial thaw has loosened whatever the ice already weakened. Both patterns keep us busy with emergency storm damage cleanup every winter.
There are four things worth doing before the emergency storm damage cleanup crew gets there, and each one makes the site safer and the insurance 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 clear of any part of the tree still standing, because a tree that has already failed once is under strain and can fail again - Take photographs before anything is moved, since your insurer will want them - Note what fell, where it landed, and whether anyone is trapped inside or shut out
We attend the most dangerous emergency storm damage cleanup jobs first rather than working strictly in the order calls come in, and 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. Sheds, vehicles, fences and branches hanging over a walkway come next. A tree resting on open lawn with nothing at risk underneath can safely wait a few days.
A branch that is bent or trapped under the weight of another branch is holding a large amount of stored energy. Cut in the wrong place, it springs back faster than a person can react.
Knowing which piece is carrying the load, and the order to release each one safely, is the most important part of this work. A saw bought for cutting firewood is not the right tool for a wind-thrown or ice-loaded tree, and we would encourage you to wait for a crew rather than try it yourself.
Emergency storm damage cleanup has two separate parts, making the property safe and clearing the debris away, and both appear on the same written sheet so the cost is clear from the start.
The quote sets out what will be removed, what will be left standing, and whether a stump gets ground out now or booked separately for later. Cutting a tree off a roof in sections is a different job from chipping the branches afterward, and both get priced on their own.
