Emergency Tree Services Townsville
24/7 storm and cyclone make-safe across the 4810 postcode, Yasi-class wind events, late-build-up monsoonal cells, and the limb that lets go at 2am.
When the BOM tracks a low forming in the Coral Sea we put the crew on standby. Yasi-class category 5 events are the worst case, but most of the work each wet season comes from the late-afternoon monsoonal cells through the build-up, the kind that flatten a poinciana in twenty minutes and leave half a raintree hanging in the canopy of the one next door.
First call is triage by phone. If anything is touching the Ergon Energy service line into the house I keep you on the phone, get the mains off at the meter, and route the network make-safe through Ergon on 13 22 96 before we cut. If the tree is on the lawn, on the iron, or hung up in a neighbour's canopy, we tarp, prop or rig the loaded sections until the saw can run safely.
Every emergency attendance ends with a written job report, date, time, BOM event if relevant, photos, scope and itemised invoice. That's the paperwork the home insurer wants for the claim, so you don't have to chase it later.

Emergency Tree Services FAQs
Do you run callouts overnight and on weekends?
Yes, through the wet season especially. Most storm-cell jobs through the build-up come in between 4pm and midnight, and a Yasi-class system can keep us out for days. Ring the number and we'll triage by phone first.
What if the limb is on the powerline?
Stay clear and treat every wire as live. Ring Ergon Energy on 13 22 96 to make the network safe, we won't cut around an energised conductor. We can roll the truck to your address at the same time and start the moment power is isolated.
Will home insurance pay for cyclone make-safe?
Most home and contents policies cover storm-driven tree damage to the insured building, fence or vehicle, including make-safe work and the debris removal tied to the claim. Ring your insurer first if you can, give them photos before anything moves, and we'll supply the job report and Certificate of Currency to attach to the file.
