Check your insurance. Your fallen or damaged trees might be covered!
If you have property damage due to fallen/damaged trees after a storm, and have insurance covering that property, it is best to record it and get in touch with your insurance company quickly if you plan to file a claim. Some insurance companies have preferred arborists that do their storm work, while others may let you arrange it yourself, especially if it is urgent. Knowing how your coverage works and what it covers can save a lot of stress in the aftermath of a storm.
How much will it cost for storm cleanup?
It depends on several factors including:
- Size of tree
- Type of damage
- Ease of access to clean up the tree
- Vicinity to houses, hydro lines and other obstacles
- Safety
When you shouldn’t do storm cleanup yourself. . .
Cleaning up fallen or broken trees after a storm yourself can save money. However, there are times you should hire a professional. Here are some things to consider:
Please hire a professional- even if it’s not us-if you have a dangerous situation.
Storms test the strength of our trees, and thin out the weak ones. One of the benefits of having an arborist come out after a tree has had storm damage is that we can look at why the tree broke where it did and if only one part broke, how much risk there is of the rest of it failing later on. If a tree has been up-rooted it is important to us to look at why that one failed, and if other trees in the area are likely to have the same issue.
“They carefully avoided damage to close fences and underlying plants were barely disturbed.”
We removed a birch tree and a beech tree from David G’s yard in Waterloo. Here’s what he had to say:
“I enthusiastically recommend Quentin Danner of Icon Tree Service. Quentin and James arrived on time and worked for 4 hours steady, removing 60 foot birch and 40 foot beech tree from my yard. They carefully avoided damage to close fences and underlying plants were barely disturbed. They exerted great control over all branches and most cuts were made using hand saws. Everything was carefully dropped from above as planned. Cleanup was perfectly accomplished with final debris raked away. I found Quentin extremely helpful and personable in helping me plan the job and while working. This is dangerous work, professionally done, and at a fair price to all concerned. I am 100% pleased.”
