CRANE AND TREE SERVICE IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

The most important thing we have learned over the years is to not touch a fallen tree without an expert’s help. Trees that have fallen are unstable and dangerous. The most typical time for a tree to fall is during a storm, when residents are forced to stay at home and are unable to work. After a storm, you might have the urge to solve the fallen tree issue on your own but there are many reasons why you shouldn’t touch a fallen tree. First, without an expert guiding you, one wrong move can put you in serious danger. More importantly, homeowners insurance will not cover the incidence in such a situation. As mentioned, home insurance is used expressly for occasions like this, so why take the risk? Allow the pros to handle it. Most of all, it is good to also know that when it comes to paying for the removal of a tree from a home, insurance companies take two factors into account:

The removal of the tree from buildings belongs to you. The cost of removing a tree from building(s) usually have no restriction and is only determined by what’s known as “Reasonable and Customary”
The removal of the debris. Usually, the cost to remove the debris is set at $500.

When you remove the tree by yourself, not only do you jeopardise your physical health for no monetary benefit, but if you do seek for tree service company after, you risk having your request to remove your tree being prioritized last as they will focus their efforts on projects where trees are needed to be removed for safety purposes.

Tree Removal (with Crane)

A crane is not always required to remove trees from houses. Cranes reduce the time it takes to remove a tree from a house, but they are not always completely essential because many projects may be completed without them. A good guideline to determine whether a crane is needed is to evaluate the weight of the tree, the position in which the tree is lying on the home, and the distance between where it is sitting on the ground/stump. The angle of the tree is also an important factor to consider when trying to safely remove trees from any homes.

Depending on the circumstances, there are times when trees need a unique support system. Such as cranes, or even specific routes created to bring machinery near enough to securely lift the tree off of the house. Each of these eventualities has its own set of items that the insurance company will normally cover. It is important to note that the insurance companies will only cover them when they are properly documented and verified that they were required in the removal of the tree from the property.

Tree Removal (with Crane)

Tree Removal with a Bobcat

When dealing with fallen trees, it is very important to be cautious and make sure that any pets or childrens stay away from the general area. A misconception of fallen trees is that it is safe to approach them when they are sitting on or near the ground, however that is definitely not the case. Above all, do not walk under a tree that is leaning against other trees or your house! It may look appealing since the tree appears to be stable. However, in our experience over the years, we’ve seen several deaths on the news from homeowners who felt the tree was stable, shortly before the tree slipped while they were below it. Other than using cranes, removing a tree from a home can also be done by hand, by rigging the tree off of surrounding trees with ropes, or by utilising a bobcat.
