Storm Damage Tree Removal
After wind, ice or a soaking rain, call We Care Tree Service to clear fallen trees, hanging limbs and storm debris.
Clearing the Mess a Storm Leaves Behind
Central Indiana storms can leave a yard in rough shape: a split maple on the fence, limbs hung up in the canopy, branches scattered across the lawn. We Care Tree Service provides reliable storm damage tree removal for Indianapolis homeowners, part of our full line of tree services. We take down what's broken, make leaning trees safe and clean up the debris, so you can get your property back to normal.
Is a tree on your house, your car or blocking the only way out? That's an emergency. See our 24/7 emergency tree removal page or call (317) 224-8765 day or night.
How Storms Damage Trees
High winds snap limbs and can twist a tree right out of the ground. Ice builds up on branches until the weight breaks them. Long, soaking rains turn the soil soft, and a tree with saturated roots can tip over even in a moderate wind. Lightning can split a trunk. A storm can also leave damage you don't see at first, like a crack in a main limb that gives way days later.

Signs a Storm-Damaged Tree Needs Attention
Wondering what can sit for a few days and what can't? We cover it in can storm-damaged trees wait for emergency removal.
- The tree is leaning after the storm when it stood straight before.
- Roots or soil have lifted on one side of the trunk.
- Large branches are cracked, split or hanging in the canopy.
- The trunk has a new split or a strip of missing bark.
- Limbs or the trunk are close to power lines.
Photos and Notes for Your Records
If it's safe, take photos of the damage from a few angles before anything is moved: where the tree landed, what it hit and the base of the trunk. A clear record helps with your own planning and with any conversation you have with your insurance company later.
If you plan to file an insurance claim, we can help with the paperwork side. We'll document the damage with photos and notes so you have a clear record to share with your insurance adjuster. Whether a claim is covered is up to your insurance company and your policy, so check with them directly.

Still wondering? Call or text (317) 224-8765
Will my insurance cover storm damage tree removal?
That depends on your policy and your insurance company, so it's best to check with them directly. Policies treat a tree that hit a building differently from one that fell in the open yard. We can't promise coverage, but we can document the damage with photos and notes for your claim.
Can you help with my insurance claim?
Yes. We can photograph the damage and write up what we found and what we did, which gives you a clean record for your adjuster. The claim decision stays between you and your insurer.
Can a storm-damaged tree be saved?
Sometimes. A tree that lost a few limbs but has a sound trunk and roots can often be trimmed and kept. A tree with a split trunk, major root damage or a big lean usually can't. Once we've seen it, we'll tell you which side of that line yours is on.
What should I do before you arrive?
Keep people and pets away from the tree and any hanging limbs. Stay far from any downed wires and call your electric utility if lines are involved. If it's safe, take photos of the damage for your records. Don't try to cut up a tree that's under tension or resting on something.
Do you clean up storm debris?
Yes. Debris cleanup is part of the job. We clear the branches and wood from the work area so you're not left with a yard full of brush.
