Storm Damage in Ottawa
If a storm has wreaked havoc on your property, Campbell Tree Experts Inc. is here for you with 24-hour storm damage recovery services in the Ottawa area. With over 30 years of experience, we are tree removal and storm recovery experts that will handle your job in a safe manner, reducing the risk of further damage to your property.
Storm-damaged trees are dangerous due to their weight and should only be trimmed or removed by professionals. Over the years, we’ve seen storms cause limbs and complete trees to fall and land into other trees, houses, cars and other structures.
Hydro Considerations
If hydro lines are affected, immediately contact Hydro One at 1-800-434- 1235 or Hydro Ottawa at 613-738-0188. Dial 911 if necessary. Provide details regarding the line damage. A certified arborist will do a site visit to assess the damage and produce a plan of action. Always stay clear of downed power lines or equipment and never assume they are safe to go near.
We Advise Customers To:
-
Properly protect and preserve your trees to maintain their value
-
Take pictures of your trees and other landscaping plants while they are healthy and vigorous. These pictures will make great before-and-after comparisons and may expedite the insurance claims process
-
Check your insurance policy. It’s wise to know the limits of an allowable claim for a tree or shrub. This will vary between insurance providers
-
Most insurance companies will only cover the cost of removing the tree or part of the tree that is on a structure with no clean-up included.
