What To Do After a Storm Damages Your Trees
After a storm, it can be hard to know whether a damaged tree is an immediate danger or something that can wait. Here’s a practical guide to what to do in the hours after a storm event:
Stay clear of fallen trees and branches.
A tree that has come down may be caught on a fence, roof or another tree and could shift or spring suddenly if disturbed. Don’t attempt to move it yourself.
Check for power line contact.
If a tree or branch has come down on or near a power line, treat it as live and keep everyone away from the area. Call 000 or Energex on 13 19 62 (24/7 fallen powerline emergency line) before doing anything else.
Assess but don’t touch.
Walk around the affected area from a safe distance to understand the scope of the damage. Look for hanging branches, leaning trees or root movement at the base. Take photos for your insurance claim if applicable.
Call us.
We’ll ask a few questions about the situation, advise on urgency, and get someone out to you. We work across the Gold Coast and can respond quickly after storm events.
Don’t assume a tree is safe because it’s still standing.
Storm damage is often internal. A tree with split heartwood or compromised roots can look fine but come down in the days or weeks after a storm. If in doubt, get it assessed.
Storm Damage and Insurance Claims
If a tree has fallen and caused damage to your property during a storm, your home and contents insurance may cover the cost of removal and repairs. Here’s what to keep in mind:
Document everything before work begins.
Take photos and video of the damage from multiple angles before any work is carried out. Your insurer will need this.
Contact your insurer early.
Let your insurer know about the damage as soon as possible. Most policies require you to notify them promptly after an incident.
We can provide documentation.
We can supply a written quote and job documentation to support your insurance claim. Just let us know when you get in touch and we’ll make sure you have what you need.
Neighbour’s tree onto your property.
If a neighbour’s tree has fallen onto your property, the situation can be more complex. Generally, responsibility depends on whether negligence can be established - if the tree was known to be diseased or dangerous and nothing was done about it. Your insurer can advise on your specific circumstances.
❊ FAQ’s
Frequently Asked Questions - Storm Damage Tree Services Gold Coast
-
Yes. We respond to storm damage across the Gold Coast. Get in touch as soon as you can after the storm and we’ll assess the situation and advise on urgency. Call us on 07 5619 9528.
-
Stay inside and away from the affected area if possible. Don’t attempt to move the tree yourself. Call us and your insurer. We can attend quickly to assess the situation and carry out safe removal. Document the damage with photos before work begins for your insurance claim.
-
Hanging branches - sometimes called widow makers - are one of the more dangerous outcomes of storm damage. A partially broken branch can fall without warning, particularly if there is further wind or rain. We’d treat this as urgent and recommend getting it dealt with promptly.
-
Not necessarily. Storm damage is assessed case by case. Some trees can be pruned back and will recover. Others may have internal damage that makes them unsafe to keep. We’ll assess the tree and give you an honest recommendation - we won’t push for removal if it isn’t needed.
-
We can provide a written quote and job documentation to support your claim to your insurer. Let us know when you get in touch and we’ll make sure you have everything your insurer needs.
-
This is a common situation and the answer depends on the circumstances. Generally, if the tree was healthy and the fall was caused purely by the storm, your own insurer handles it. If the tree was known to be diseased or dangerous, your neighbour’s insurer may be involved. We’d recommend contacting your insurer first and letting them guide you through the process.
-
It depends on the size of the tree, how it has fallen and the complexity of the access and removal. We provide free quotes - call us or send photos and we’ll come back to you with a price.
-
Yes. We remove all debris, branches and timber from site. After a storm the last thing you need is more mess - we leave the property clean and tidy before we go.
