STORM DAMAGE CLEANUP

Clear Storm-Damaged Trees Without Guessing at the Next Move

Storm damage can leave wood under tension, split leaders overhead, and access routes blocked. CHETS evaluates what moved, what is still loaded, and what must be secured before cutting and clearing begins.

WHEN THIS SERVICE FITS

Start with the tree, the property, and the work zone.

  • Fallen trees or large limbs blocking a driveway or work area
  • Split trunks, suspended limbs, and storm-damaged canopies
  • Trees resting on roofs, fences, vehicles, or other structures
  • Debris that needs chipping, hauling, or organized cleanup

WHAT'S INCLUDED

The cut is only one part of the job.

CHETS scopes the work around access, control, property protection, material handling, and cleanup—not just getting wood on the ground.

01

A site review focused on unstable wood and safe access

02

Controlled cutting, rigging, or lifting where needed

03

Debris processing and cleanup based on the agreed scope

04

Written estimates and job documentation for insurance conversations

HOW THE WORK MOVES

A practical sequence from first look to cleanup.

  1. STEP 01

    Make the call

    Describe what fell, what it is touching, and whether access is blocked.

  2. STEP 02

    Assess the load

    Identify suspended, split, or tensioned wood before work starts.

  3. STEP 03

    Stabilize and clear

    Work in a sequence that avoids releasing weight unpredictably.

  4. STEP 04

    Document and clean

    Complete the agreed cleanup and provide available job documentation.

ESTIMATE FACTORS

Why an on-site look matters.

Photos and a description help start the conversation, but the work plan depends on the actual tree, access, obstacles, and cleanup scope.

  • Whether material is suspended or bearing on a structure
  • Safe access for the crew and equipment
  • Volume of brush, wood, and hauling required
  • Rigging, crane, or traffic-control needs

COMMON QUESTIONS

What if a tree is touching a utility line?

Stay away from the tree and line. Contact 911 for immediate danger and notify the utility provider before approaching or arranging tree work.

Does CHETS decide whether insurance covers the work?

No. CHETS can provide estimates and available job documentation, but coverage, authorizations, and reimbursement are determined by your insurance provider.

REQUEST AN ESTIMATE

Tell CHETS what you see on the property.

Include the tree location, nearby structures, access notes, and what changed. CHETS will follow up to discuss the site and next step.
