A well-documented Erie claim moves faster than a phone-call description ever could.
1 Tree Emergency is an independent tree service, not an agent, affiliate, or partner of Erie Insurance. What we do is help homeowners capture and organize the evidence that supports a tree-damage claim, then hand it over in the format an adjuster can act on.
Whether coverage applies to your loss depends entirely on the terms of your own Erie policy. We do not interpret those terms for you. Instead, we make sure that if your claim is valid, nothing gets held up because the paperwork was thin or the scene was cleared before anyone recorded it.
Below you will find Erie's public claims contacts alongside a plain description of how our arborists document, mitigate, and coordinate on tree-damage losses across the country, any hour of the day.
For neutral, general information on homeowners coverage, see the Insurance Information Institute. This is general guidance, not policy or legal advice — always confirm details with your own carrier.

How our arborists prepare an Erie tree-damage claim
The strongest claims are the ones where the story of the failure is written down while the evidence is still fresh. Our crews treat that recordkeeping as step one, alongside making your property safe.
- Wide-angle and close-up photographs of the fallen tree, the point of impact, and every affected structure.
- Measurements of trunk diameter, canopy spread, and the extent of structural damage.
- A written arborist assessment of why the tree failed — wind load, root failure, saturated soil, or storm force.
- A dated log of emergency mitigation performed so Erie can see you acted to limit the loss.
Contacting Erie Insurance about your claim
You report the loss to Erie directly; we support the evidence side. Erie publishes a dedicated claims line and an online claims center for policyholders. Have your policy number and the date and time of the incident ready when you reach out.
Erie claims phone: 1-800-367-3743. Official claims page: https://www.erieinsurance.com/support-center/claims. These are Erie's own published contacts, provided here for your convenience — always confirm the current details on Erie's website.
Emergency mitigation that protects the claim
Most homeowners policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a loss. If a tree opens your roof and rain follows, unaddressed water intrusion can complicate the picture. Our crews tarp, board up, and secure the site right away, then document each step with time stamps.
That prompt response does two things at once: it protects your home and it demonstrates to Erie that you met the mitigation expectation your policy describes.
Working alongside your Erie adjuster
Once your claim is open, we can share our documentation package directly with the adjuster and answer technical questions about the tree, the failure, and the removal scope. Where your carrier's process allows, we coordinate billing so you are not caught between the removal crew and the claim.
Our aim is a clean file that lets the adjuster reach a decision without repeated requests for more photos or a second site visit.
We document your tree damage claim from the first cut
Certified arborists capture claim-ready photos, measurements, and reports and coordinate with your carrier.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Erie Insurance cover tree removal after a storm?
Erie homeowners policies commonly address tree damage when a fallen tree strikes an insured structure, but whether your specific loss is covered — and any per-tree or per-claim limits — depends on your policy. Confirm the details with Erie directly. We provide the arborist documentation that supports whatever your policy allows.
How do I file a tree damage claim with Erie Insurance?
Make sure everyone is safe, then report the loss to Erie at 1-800-367-3743 or through the claims center at erieinsurance.com, with your policy number and the incident date ready. We supply dated photos, measurements, and a written cause-of-failure report so your Erie file is complete from the start.
What does Erie need to process a fallen-tree claim quickly?
Adjusters generally want clear photos of the tree and the damage, the date and cause of the event, an itemized removal and repair scope, and proof you limited further damage. Our arborists capture all of that on site, which is exactly the record that keeps an Erie claim from stalling.
Is 1 Tree Emergency affiliated with Erie Insurance?
No. We are an independent certified-arborist tree service and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Erie Insurance. We help homeowners document and file tree-damage claims with their own carrier, whoever that carrier happens to be.
Can you tarp my roof before Erie's adjuster arrives?
Yes. We perform emergency tarping and board-up as soon as the site is safe and document each step, so you meet the reasonable-mitigation expectation most policies describe. That work protects your home and strengthens the record your Erie adjuster reviews.
