What We Handle After a Storm

Lewis Burns Tree Service has been cleaning up after south-central Pennsylvania storms since 1968. Whatever the wind, ice, or a saturated root plate left you with, it usually comes down to a tree removal job, and one of these six covers the rest.

Some jobs are as simple as clearing a fallen tree off the driveway after an overnight storm, gone before you even leave for work in the morning, no fuss involved. Others need a closer look from someone trained in hazardous tree removal, because a leaning trunk or a split crotch is not something to guess about from the ground on your own.

When debris is scattered across the whole yard after a bad blow, our storm debris removal crew clears it fast so the kids and the dog can get back outside again without stepping on anything sharp. A tree hanging low over a roofline usually calls for crane tree removal instead of a chainsaw balanced on a ladder against the gutter.

If the same tree keeps dropping limbs every time the wind picks up around here, ask about storm damage prevention before the next front rolls through and finishes the job for you and your roof. For anything else that cannot wait until morning, our emergency tree service crew is on call around the clock, every day of the year, holidays included.

What to Do in the First Ten Minutes

Before anyone gets a crew on site, a few things protect your safety and your insurance claim. None of them involve getting near the tree.

  • Move everyone out of the rooms under the damage and keep pets inside.
  • Treat every downed wire as live. Stay 30 feet back and call the utility.
  • Photograph the damage from a safe distance before anything gets moved.
  • Call your insurance company and open a claim, then call our office. We work with all insurance companies and in most cases your policy pays for the removal.
  • Leave the chainsaw in the garage. Storm wood is under tension and it bites.

Storm Damage on Your Property?

Call us and call your insurance. We work with all insurance companies, your policy usually covers the removal, and our free estimates come itemized the way adjusters want them. Family-run, working these storms since 1968.
