A tree down on your garage or blocking your driveway isn't something that can wait for a scheduled appointment. Our matched crews handle emergency calls around the clock, prioritizing anything that's actively dangerous or blocking access to your home.

What to do right after storm damage

  • If any part of the tree is touching or near a power line, stay well back and call Manitoba Hydro immediately — don't approach it.
  • Don't try to cut or move large limbs yourself, especially if the tree is still under tension from a partial fall.
  • Keep kids and pets away from any leaning or split tree until it's been assessed.
  • Photograph the damage before cleanup starts — it'll help if you're filing an insurance claim.

How our emergency response works

  1. Fast dispatch. Emergency requests are flagged and prioritized so a local crew can reach you quickly, day or night.
  2. Hazard stabilization. If a tree is only partially down, the crew's first job is making the site safe before full removal.
  3. Removal & cleanup. The tree is taken down, debris hauled away, and the site left safe and clean.
Emergency and storm-related removals typically run 25–50% higher than a scheduled job, mostly due to after-hours labour and the added risk of working around damaged structures or power lines. See our cost guide for typical ranges.

Common questions

Emergency requests are prioritized ahead of scheduled work — most homeowners hear from a local crew within 24 hours, with same-day service available in many areas.

Many homeowner policies cover storm-related tree removal, especially if it's damaged a structure. Photograph the damage before cleanup and check with your insurer — your crew can also provide an invoice for your claim.

That's treated as a top-priority call. Crews are equipped to stabilize and remove a tree that's actively resting on a structure without causing further damage.
