Cincinnati gets severe thunderstorms, straight-line winds, and heavy ice and snow loads that bring down limbs and whole trees. Emergency crews are on call around the clock to make the scene safe and protect your home from further damage.
What to Do Right Now
- Get everyone out of rooms where a tree has come through the roof.
- Stay clear of hanging limbs and the root plate of a partly uprooted tree.
- Take photos of the damage from a safe distance for your insurance claim.
- Call (833) 423-0578 for a crew, then contact your homeowner's insurance company.
What an Emergency Crew Does
- Removes the tree from the structure with a crane or rigging to avoid more damage.
- Tarps the roof or coordinates temporary covering to keep rain out.
- Clears driveways and access so you can get in and out.
- Flags other hazardous trees on the property that could fail next.
Will Insurance Pay?
Most homeowner policies cover removing a tree that falls on an insured structure, such as the house, garage or a fence, usually up to a set limit per tree. A tree that falls in the yard without hitting anything is often not covered. Keep invoices and photos, and check your policy.
Emergency Pricing
After-hours and storm work typically costs 1.5 to 3 times normal rates because of the risk, crane time and overtime involved. Ask for the price before work starts unless the situation is immediately dangerous.
