Storm damage cleanup is clearing the trees and limbs a windstorm, snow load, or ice leaves behind: downed trunks, snapped branches, and dangerous hangers caught in the canopy. We clean up storm-damaged trees across Kelowna and the Okanagan and assess what's left for hidden hazards.
Okanagan storms can do a number on trees. A strong wind off the lake, a heavy wet snow, or an ice load, and suddenly there are limbs down, branches hung up overhead, and trees split or leaning. Cleaning that up safely takes more than a chainsaw and good intentions.
We clear the obvious damage, the trunks on the ground and the branches across your yard, but we also check what you can't easily see: cracked limbs still in the canopy, hangers waiting to drop, and trees that took structural damage and may need to come down. We make the whole property safe, not just tidy.
What's included
- Downed tree removal. We cut up and clear trees and large limbs that came down on your property.
- Hanger removal. We get the broken branches hung up in the canopy down before they fall on someone.
- Hazard assessment. We check damaged trees for cracks and structural failure you might not spot.
- Careful around structures. We work to avoid making any damage to the house or fence worse.
- Debris cleanup. We chip the brush and haul or stack the wood so your yard is clear.
- Honest follow-up advice. We tell you which trees are fine and which need a closer look or removal.
When you need storm damage cleanup
After a windstorm
High winds snap limbs and topple weakened trees, leaving debris and hidden hangers.
Heavy snow or ice
Snow load and ice break branches and split trees, especially conifers and evergreens.
Branches hung up
A broken limb caught in the canopy is a falling hazard until it's removed properly.
A split or leaning tree
Storm-stressed trees can be structurally compromised and need assessing.
