Got it, thank you. Expect a call from one of our arborists before the next working day is over, and you can choose a visit slot together. Tree on the house right now? Ring (289) 206-8338.
Call right away if
- A tree or limb is resting on the house, garage or car
- A broken branch is hanging over a walkway or deck
- A fallen tree is blocking the driveway
- The tree leans more than it did before the storm
- The soil at the base has cracked or lifted
When a tree or a big limb comes down on a roof, car or fence, call us. We answer storm calls after regular hours, take the weight off the house first, and make the site safe.
Once the danger is gone, we cut up and haul away the wood, then look at what's left of the tree so you can decide if it stays.
What happens when you call
- We ask what's down and where, and tell you how to stay safe
- A crew heads out, the same day whenever we can
- We lift or cut the weight off the building first
- We clean up, haul the wood and take photos for your insurer
What it costs
Nobody can price storm damage over the phone, so the number comes once we have seen it. One snapped limb usually costs about what a trim does, $300 to $800. A big tree lying across a fenced backyard is really a removal, $2,000 to $5,000+. The price goes on paper before the main cleanup begins.
Get my written priceSame-age trees break on the same night
Erin Mills has thousands of trees of about the same age and size, so one strong storm can break limbs at many houses on the same street in a single night. The December 2013 ice storm did that across Mississauga, and some trees that cracked then have been getting weaker since. After a big storm, calls pile up fast, so call as soon as it's safe.
Questions about emergency storm damage cleanup
A tree fell on a power line. What should I do?
Treat the wire as live. Keep 10 metres back, call Alectra Utilities or 911, and leave the branches alone. When the utility confirms the power is off, we will clear the tree.
Will my home insurance pay for this?
Often, when the tree hit the house, garage or fence. It depends on your policy, so call your insurer. We give you a written invoice and photos to send them.
Do I need a permit to remove a storm-damaged tree?
Making the site safe comes first. If the rest of the tree has to go afterwards and it is 15 cm or wider at the trunk, we will sort out with you whether the City wants a permit. A dead or dying tree carries no fee.
Can you come at night?
Yes. A tree on the roof or across the only exit gets a crew heading out as soon as it is safe to work, day or night.
