Storm Cleanup & Debris Removal
Fast, efficient cleanup after storms to restore safety and order to your property.
When Storms Leave a Mess
Iowa weather can be brutal. Severe thunderstorms, high winds, ice storms, and tornadoes regularly hit the Waterloo area. When they do, trees take a beating. Branches snap off, entire trees uproot, and your property ends up buried under debris. The aftermath is overwhelming, but you don't have to handle it alone.
Storm cleanup isn't just about making your yard look better. It's about safety. Hanging branches could fall at any moment. Damaged trees might topple in the next storm. Piles of debris block access and create fire hazards. The faster you clean up, the safer your property becomes.
Since 2024, we've been helping Waterloo residents recover from storm damage. We show up quickly after severe weather, assess the situation, and get to work immediately. Our goal is to restore your property to normal as fast as possible while removing all safety hazards.

Why Fast Response Matters
After a major storm, tree service companies get overwhelmed with calls. The faster you contact us, the sooner we can get to your property. We prioritize emergency situations where trees are on structures, blocking roads, or posing immediate safety threats. But even if your damage isn't life-threatening, getting on our schedule quickly means faster cleanup.
Waiting to clean up storm damage often makes things worse. Rain gets into homes through damaged roofs that trees are sitting on. Branches left in piles attract pests and create eyesores that frustrate your neighbors. Damaged trees continue deteriorating, becoming more dangerous over time. The sooner you address the damage, the easier and less expensive the cleanup becomes.
Working With Your Insurance
Most homeowners insurance policies cover storm damage to trees, especially when they damage insured structures. We've worked with countless insurance companies over the years and know what documentation they need. We take detailed photos before and during cleanup, provide itemized estimates, and can communicate directly with your insurance adjuster if needed.
Don't let insurance concerns delay your cleanup. Contact your insurance company as soon as possible after storm damage occurs. Then call us to schedule the work. We'll provide all the documentation you need for your claim. Most insurance companies want you to mitigate further damage quickly, so getting started right away actually helps your claim.
Beyond the Immediate Cleanup
Once we remove the obvious damage, we inspect your remaining trees for hidden problems. Storms often cause cracks, splits, or root damage that aren't immediately visible. We identify these issues and recommend appropriate action, whether that's tree removal, corrective pruning, or monitoring the tree's recovery.
We also handle all the debris responsibly. Wood gets recycled or processed. Branches are chipped for mulch or biomass fuel. We don't just dump everything in a landfill. Our goal is to leave your property clean and handle disposal in an environmentally responsible way.
For severe storm situations requiring immediate response, we offer 24/7 emergency services. If you need help clearing larger areas after widespread storm damage, our land clearing services can handle bigger projects efficiently.
