Storm Damage & Insurance

What to do right now

1. Get everyone out of the damaged part of the house and stay away from downed power lines. Call Ameren or 911 if a line is down.
2. Call MadCow at 618-CUT-WOOD (618-288-9663). 24/7, crews available right away.
3. Take photos of the tree and the damage from a safe spot before anything moves.
4. Call your insurance company and get a claim number.
5. We make it safe, lift the tree off with a crane or grapple when needed, and document the work for your claim.
6. We submit our bill to your insurance company on your behalf.

How we help with the claim

• Photos of the damage before, during and after
• A written description of the work and why it was needed
• We talk to your adjuster when you want us to
• We submit our bill to your insurance company on your behalf
• Tarping and emergency removal first, cleanup and stump work after

We are not your insurance company and can't promise what your policy will pay. Your adjuster makes that call. What we can do is make the job clear and well documented.
