Storm Damage Tree Cleanup24/7 Emergency Response
Fast, professional storm damage cleanup throughout Nevada and Placer Counties. When a tree comes down, we respond — day or night.
Nevada & Placer County Gets Hit Hard — We Know What to Do
The Sierra Nevada foothills experience intense winter storms that bring heavy snow, ice loading, and powerful wind events — conditions that can bring down entire trees or snap major limbs with little warning. When a storm hits Grass Valley, Nevada City, Auburn, or surrounding communities, the call volume spikes fast. Powell Arbor Solutions maintains 24/7 availability for these events and has been responding to storm damage across the region for over 20 years.
Storm-damaged trees present a different set of challenges than routine removal. A tree that has partially fallen may be under significant tension or compression — making cuts in the wrong location dangerous. Hanging limbs ("widow makers") lodged in the canopy after wind events are a serious hazard that require trained eyes and the right rigging equipment to address safely. ISA Certified Arborist David Powell brings the expertise to assess, prioritize, and safely resolve each situation.
Beyond emergency response, we also handle non-emergency storm cleanup — properties that sustained damage during a storm but don't require immediate response. After any major storm event in Nevada or Placer County, it's worth having your trees assessed for hidden structural damage, broken branch unions, or compromised root systems that may not be visible from the ground. We offer written arborist reports for insurance documentation and permit purposes.

Storm Damage Cleanup FAQs
What you need to know about storm response, insurance, and tree hazards after a storm event in Nevada and Placer County.
Yes — we provide 24/7 emergency response for storm-damaged trees throughout Nevada and Placer Counties. Call (530) 889-1209 any time. If a tree has fallen on your home, vehicle, or is blocking access, do not wait — call us immediately for a same-day or overnight response.
In many cases, yes — if a tree falls and damages a structure (home, fence, garage, or outbuilding), most homeowner's policies cover the removal of that specific tree as part of the property damage claim. Trees that have fallen in the yard without hitting a structure are typically not covered. We have experience working alongside insurance adjusters and can provide detailed documentation to support your claim.
First, keep everyone out of the affected area — falling trees often leave secondary hazards like hanging limbs or compromised roof sections. Call us at (530) 889-1209 immediately for emergency response. We'll safely remove the tree, assess for secondary hazards, and can tarp exposed areas if needed while you coordinate with your insurance company and a roofer.
For true emergencies involving active hazards — trees on structures, blocked road access, or imminent collapse — we aim to be on-site within hours across Nevada and Placer Counties, including Grass Valley, Nevada City, Auburn, Penn Valley, Colfax, Meadow Vista, Applegate, and Alta Sierra. During major storm events that affect the wider region, response time may be longer as we work through a queue, but we prioritize situations with immediate life-safety or structural risk. Call (530) 889-1209 to describe your situation and we'll give you an accurate estimated arrival.
We remove all wood sections, branches, and debris from your property. Larger logs can be left cut to length for firewood if you'd prefer to keep them — just let us know. All brush and chips are either hauled away or chipped on-site. We leave the property clean before we leave.
