[IMAGE]Does Insurance Cover Emergency Tree Removal?
One of the most common things homeowners ask after a tree falls: does homeowners insurance cover the removal? Generally speaking:
- Yes, if the tree hits a structure: Nearly all homeowners insurance policies will cover tree removal when a tree damages your shed. Maybe not, if it just falls in the yard: If a tree comes down in your lawn and doesn't hitting any structure, many policies won't cover removal — or cover only a limited portion. Debris removal provisions: Certain policies offer additional cleanup coverage that can offset expenses.
