What Should I Do Immediately After Storm Damage?
Keep people and pets away from the area, especially if a branch is caught up in the canopy above rather than fully down. Photograph the damage for your insurance file if it is safe to do so, then call us and describe what happened.
Do not attempt to cut or move a hung-up limb yourself. Even one that appears steady can be holding enough tension to shift the moment it is disturbed.
Do You Work With Insurance Claims?
We provide the documentation and written estimate most insurers ask for, including photos and a description of the damage before we start. Ask us for anything specific your policy requires and we will make sure it is part of the paperwork.
Has Cabbagetown Seen Serious Storms Before?
Toronto's downtown east end has been hit by ice storms and summer wind events more than once in the past two decades, and Cabbagetown's mature canopy means there is more large deadwood in the air here than on a street of young trees. That combination is exactly why we treat storm calls as the priority of the day.
How Fast Can You Actually Get Here?
We aim to assess storm damage within hours of your call, not days, though a major storm affecting the whole city can extend that. We will tell you honestly what to expect when you call rather than leaving you guessing.
