How it works
Emergency tree work is handled differently
A genuine hazard changes the order of operations. Even for the government.
On-site visit
No matter the severity, Ironclad comes fully equipped to get the job done as soon as possible.
No permit needed
in North Shore municipalities, a genuine hazard can come down before a permit is filed.
Removed and cleaned
BC Forest Safety Certified fallers bring it down safely, piece by piece, with full cleanup the same visit.
Work
Danger tree removed mid-windstorm
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.
