How does storm damage cleanup work, step by step?
Everything the storm left — hangers still in the canopy, split trunks, a yard full of debris — cleared and documented for the claim. Around Indianapolis this typically runs $400 to $4,000 depending on size and access, and a straightforward job is usually a single visit.
How it goes
A crew walks the site, sets up drop zones and protection, and works from the top down — the tree comes apart in pieces rather than coming over in one. Brush is chipped as it comes down, so the yard clears progressively rather than all at the end.
What decides how long it takes
Volume — one limb versus a yard full of debris. Hangers still up in the canopy, which are climbing work not ground work. Whether anything is on a structure.
What you need to do
Move cars off the drive, unlock the gate, and say where the septic field and the irrigation heads are — those are the two things crews damage most often, and neither is visible from the surface.
