What counts as an emergency tree removal?

An emergency tree removal is required when a tree or large branch has fallen on a structure, is blocking access, or poses an immediate risk of falling on people or property. Storm damage, uprooted trees, and trees leaning dangerously after heavy rain are common emergencies in Pretoria.

Is emergency tree removal covered by insurance?

In some cases, emergency tree removal may be covered by your homeowner's insurance, especially if the tree fell due to a storm. Contact your insurer immediately and take photographs of the damage before any work begins.

What should I do while waiting for emergency tree removal?

Keep people away from the affected area. If a tree has fallen on your house, do not re-enter until a professional confirms it is safe. If power lines are involved, contact Eskom immediately — never touch downed power lines.
