Emergency Tree Service in Camas, WA
Camas storm calls cluster around east-wind events, and they have a pattern. The trees that come down are frequently the ones that got exposed when something next to them was cleared or blew over first, which is why a single failure on a street often turns into three over the following couple of winters. If a neighbor lost a tree last year and yours is now standing in the gap, that is worth an assessment on a calm day.
The terrain makes the emergency work harder than it would be on flat ground. A fir that fails on a slope does not simply lie down. It slides, it hangs up on other trees, it comes to rest against a deck or a retaining wall with everything still loaded. Reading where the tension is before making the first cut is the difference between a controlled job and a second, worse incident.
We are licensed and insured, and we have worked a lot of storm claims out of Camas. Once you and your family are safe, we can photograph and document what we found for your adjuster while we clear it. That costs you nothing extra and it makes the claim conversation considerably easier.

Emergency & Storm Service in Camas, WA: FAQ
A tree is leaning against my house but has not fallen. Is that an emergency?
Yes, treat it as one. A tree resting on a structure is holding load in a way it was never designed to, and the situation can change quickly, especially if the ground is saturated or the wind picks up again. Keep people out of the rooms underneath and call us rather than waiting to see what it does.
Why do so many Camas trees fail in the same area?
Because they grew up sheltering each other. Trees in a stand develop less taper and shallower structural adaptation than a tree that grew in the open, and they rely on their neighbors for wind protection. Lose one, and the ones behind it are suddenly holding load they never held. That is why failures come in sequences here rather than singly.
Can you get equipment to a tree partway down a Camas slope?
Usually, and where we cannot we work it by hand and rigging, which is slower but perfectly doable. Steep ground is normal for our crew. What we will not do is rush a loaded tree on a slope, because that is exactly the situation where cutting in the wrong order hurts somebody.
Should I take photos before you arrive?
Yes, from a safe distance, and it is one of the more useful things you can do while waiting. Your insurer will want to see the damage as it landed. Once we start cutting, that record is gone, and we would rather you had it.
