Severe weather moves through the Lehigh Valley regularly — summer thunderstorms with high winds, nor'easters, and ice storms each create distinct and serious tree damage. When a storm passes and you survey your property, the scope of cleanup can feel overwhelming. Tree Doctor Inc handles storm damage cleanup for residential and commercial properties throughout Allentown and the surrounding Lehigh Valley — from single fallen branches to major multi-tree events.

What Storm Damage Cleanup Includes

Our storm damage cleanup service covers the full scope of what a weather event leaves behind:

Removal of fallen trees from lawns, driveways, rooftops, and structures

Clearing of broken and hanging limbs that remain attached but are at risk of falling

Debris hauling — all wood, branches, and brush are removed from your property

Stump grinding for trees that were uprooted (available as an add-on)

Assessment of remaining trees for structural damage that may not be immediately visible

After a major storm, trees that appear intact may have suffered root damage, bark splitting, or internal cracking that makes them hazardous. We walk the full property and flag anything that warrants further attention — not just the obviously fallen material.

Ice Storm and Snow Load Damage

The Lehigh Valley sees significant ice accumulation events that are particularly destructive to trees. Ice adds enormous weight to branches — a single inch of ice accumulation can increase the weight of a branch by 30 to 50 times. Evergreens and multi-stemmed trees are especially vulnerable. After ice events, do not shake or hit ice-laden branches to free them — the branch is already under maximum stress and the sudden release can cause it to snap and injure someone nearby. Call us and let the crew assess safely.

Working With Your Insurance Company After Storm Damage

When storm damage involves a fallen tree on an insured structure, your homeowners insurance policy may cover some or all of the removal cost. The key is documentation. Photograph all damage before any cleanup begins — wide shots showing the full scene and close-ups of where the tree contacted the structure. Contact your insurance provider before authorizing work if possible. We provide complete written documentation including before and after photos upon request to support your claim.

Priority Response After Major Storm Events

After significant storms affect the Lehigh Valley, demand for cleanup services spikes immediately. We triage calls by severity — active structural damage and safety hazards are addressed first. If your situation is debris-only with no structural impact, we will schedule you as quickly as our queue allows. Calling promptly after a storm gives you the earliest possible position in the schedule.
