Most of our emergency storm damage cleanup calls trace back to an ice event rather than a windstorm. A crown handles ordinary snow with little trouble, sliding most of it off before it accumulates.
Freezing rain is a different animal from snow. Ice builds up around every twig and small branch as it falls, and by the next morning a crown can be shouldering several times its normal weight even without a breath of wind. Broad silver maples on the low-lying ground near the Grand River tend to be first to fail once that ice load sets in.
A handful of steps make the property safer while you wait, and they make an insurance claim simpler too:
- A hydro line touching the tree means calling the utility company first, then keeping well clear of the fence, gate or vehicle it is resting on - Keep away from whatever part of the tree is still standing; wood that has partly failed once can let go again without warning - Take photos before anything gets dragged away or cut up, since your insurance company will want to see them - Write down what came down, exactly where it landed, and whether a door in or out of the house is currently blocked
We move through emergency storm damage cleanup calls by risk level rather than by the order calls arrived, and we would rather be upfront about that than have anyone assume otherwise. A tree resting on a house, blocking the sole way in or out, or lying across a public road goes first.
Outbuildings, vehicles, fences and anything overhanging a walkway come next. A tree down across open lawn, with nothing valuable underneath, can typically wait a day or two without harm.
A branch trapped or bowed under the weight of another branch is storing energy much like a compressed spring. Cutting it in the wrong spot lets it snap back quicker than anyone can move clear of it.
Reading which piece is carrying the load, and choosing the right order to release each one, is the core skill in this kind of work. A saw meant for cutting firewood is not built for a wind- or ice-loaded tree, and waiting for a trained crew is genuinely the safer call.
Emergency storm damage cleanup breaks down into two separate jobs: making the property safe right away, and hauling off the debris afterward. Both show up on one written estimate, so the total cost is never a surprise.
That estimate states what comes off, what stays standing, and whether the stump gets ground now or scheduled for later. Cutting a tree free of a roof in sections is priced differently from chipping the branches once everything is already on the ground.
Emergency storm damage cleanup calls cluster around late-season ice storms and the occasional summer microburst, but we field emergency storm damage cleanup requests in every month of the year. Keeping a crew and equipment ready for emergency storm damage cleanup, rather than scrambling to find one after a storm hits, is part of why we can usually get to a dangerous tree the same day.
A storm that put a tree across your Fergus or Elora property does not wait for business hours, and neither do we when it truly counts. Fergus Tree Service runs emergency storm damage cleanup outside normal hours for exactly these situations.
Call (226) 602-0633. If a hydro line is involved, contact the utility first. The rest of what we offer sits on the home page.
Most properties need more than one kind of tree trimming or tree removal work over the years. Here is everything else on offer.
From a slender street tree to a mature shade tree towering over a stone-built home, Fergus Tree Service handles tree trimming and pruning on properties across Fergus and Centre Wellington. Every job carries full insurance, and since nothing else we offer costs less over the life of a tree, it pays to book it on a schedule rather than waiting for a problem to force the issue.

A few basics let us plan the visit properly for tree trimming, tree removal or whatever else brought you here: roughly what kind of tree it is, about how tall, and what your street is like, since getting equipment close to the tree changes the price more than the tree's size does. Mention what is underneath it, and note on the form if storm damage is the reason for the call. A way for us to reach you back is the only field that truly matters. You can also call (226) 602-0633 directly if that works better for you.
