Storm Cleanup & Debris Removal

Fast Response After Storm Damage

Severe weather hits Mankato regularly, and when it does, the aftermath can be overwhelming. Fallen trees, broken branches, and scattered debris create hazards and make your property look like a disaster zone. At ClearCanopy Mankato Tree Service, we specialize in storm cleanup and debris removal. We respond quickly after storms to clear your property, remove hazards, and restore order. Our experienced crews work efficiently to handle cleanup projects of any size, from a few downed branches to complete yard devastation.

Storm cleanup is more than just picking up sticks. It requires assessing damage, identifying safety hazards, removing fallen trees safely, and disposing of massive amounts of debris properly. We have the equipment and expertise to handle it all. We can clear storm debris from residential properties, commercial sites, and municipal areas throughout Mankato and the surrounding communities.

Common Storm Damage We Clean Up

Mankato experiences various types of severe weather, from thunderstorms and high winds to ice storms and tornadoes. Each type of storm creates different cleanup challenges. Here is what we regularly handle:

• Fallen trees blocking driveways, streets, or buildings
• Large broken branches scattered across yards and roofs
• Uprooted trees with exposed root balls
• Trees split or damaged by lightning strikes
• Ice storm damage with broken limbs throughout tree canopies
• Tornado damage requiring complete debris removal
• Brush and vegetation debris blown onto properties
• Hanging branches that pose immediate danger

We handle cleanup of all sizes. A single fallen tree might take a few hours to remove and clean up. Major storm damage across multiple acres can take several days. Regardless of the scope, we work systematically to clear hazards first, then complete thorough cleanup and debris removal. If you need immediate help with dangerous trees, call us right away for emergency tree removal. For less urgent cleanup, we can schedule your project at your convenience.

Our Storm Cleanup Process

When you call us for storm cleanup, we prioritize your project based on urgency and safety concerns. We start by assessing the damage and identifying hazards. We look for downed power lines, unstable trees, hanging branches, and other dangers that need immediate attention. Safety always comes first. If power lines are involved, we coordinate with utility companies before proceeding.

Then we begin systematic cleanup. We cut fallen trees into manageable sections, remove debris from roofs and structures, clear access routes, and pile debris for removal. We use chainsaws, wood chippers, grapple trucks, and other specialized equipment to work efficiently. We haul all debris away and dispose of it properly. When we finish, your property is clean and safe. If storm damage has left stumps, we also offer stump grinding services to complete the restoration.

Working With Insurance After Storm Damage

Many homeowners insurance policies cover storm damage cleanup, especially when trees damage structures or block necessary access. We work with insurance companies regularly and understand what documentation they need for claims.

We can provide detailed written estimates, take photos of damage, and document the cleanup process. We itemize costs clearly so your insurance adjuster can review expenses. While you are responsible for working with your insurance company, we make the process easier by providing all necessary information.

Keep in mind that insurance coverage varies. Most policies cover cleanup when a tree falls on your house, garage, or fence. Coverage for trees that fall in your yard without hitting structures is less common. Check with your insurance agent to understand your specific coverage. Even if insurance does not cover the full cost, professional cleanup is usually worth it to restore your property quickly and safely.
