Frequently asked questions
How fast can someone come out after a storm?
Availability varies after a storm. Stay clear of downed lines, hanging branches, and unstable trees. Contact the utility about electrical hazards, then request current scheduling from an independent provider. Confirm timing directly before relying on an arrival window.
Will storm damage tree removal be covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your policy, the cause of damage, and your insurer’s decision. Contact your insurer before cleanup when it is safe to wait, ask what documentation is needed, and confirm what the provider’s written quote includes.
Why do ice storms cause more damage than wind alone?
Ice adds weight to branches, which can expose weak unions, cracks, or existing damage. The result depends on the actual tree and site, so avoid predicting failure by species alone. Stay clear of hanging branches and unstable trees, and request a professional assessment.
Does trimming ahead of tornado season actually reduce storm damage?
Pruning can address dead, broken, or poorly attached branches, but it cannot prevent storm damage. Topping is different because it leaves stubs and can produce weak new growth. Dangerous damage needs professional assessment regardless of the calendar.
What should I do if a downed tree is resting on a power line after a storm?
Stay well back and contact the electric utility immediately. Do not touch the tree, line, or nearby objects, and do not cut branches under tension. Wait for the utility to address the electrical hazard before arranging tree work.
