Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit before an emergency tree removal?

If a tree poses an imminent risk to life or property, North Vancouver bylaws allow removal before a permit is issued. Documentation is submitted to the municipality after the fact. Jeff is ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualified and handles that paperwork directly.

What counts as a tree emergency?

A fallen tree on a structure, a tree leaning after a storm, a cracked or split trunk over a living area, or any tree that poses an immediate risk to people or property. If you're unsure, call and we will answer any questions.

How much does emergency tree removal cost?

Every job is different depending on size, location, and complexity. Call for a direct assessment — Jeff will give you an honest number before any work begins.

How much does emergency tree removal cost?

Everything gets cleaned up before we leave. Branches and debris are chipped on site, and larger wood can be left in rounds for firewood if you'd like it, or hauled away completely. Stumps are ground down below surface level. You choose what stays and what goes — we handle the rest.

Does home insurance cover emergency tree removal?

In many cases yes, particularly when a tree has fallen on a structure. Check your policy and document everything before work begins — Jeff can provide written confirmation of the hazard if your insurer requires it.

What should I do while I wait?

Stay clear of the tree and keep others away from the area. If it's contact with a power line, call BC Hydro immediately at 1-888-769-3766 before calling anyone else.

How do I know if a tree is dangerous after a storm?

Storm damage can be deceptive — a tree that looks stable can have compromised roots or a hidden crack in the trunk. If you're not sure, call. Ironclad has certified tree risk assessors on staff.
