Post-Storm Disaster & Insurance Response
• East Texas Pilot Hub

Storm Hazard & Adjuster Photo Hub

When severe Texas windstorms or tornadoes shatter pines across roofs, speed-cutting causes catastrophic structural punctures. SlowCut provides emergency stabilization, priority arborist matching, and instant ANSI-compliant Adjuster Photo Packs to get insurance claims paid quickly.

Entergy Tag-Out Escort Active
1. Stabilization Before Bucking

We never drop a roof-resting tree without crane or tension winch counter-weights to prevent cave-ins.

2. 360° Adjuster Photo Proof

Documenting root plate lift, shear tension, and structure contact before touching the wood satisfies insurance adjusters.

3. Direct Insurance Billing Packet

Separates emergency tarping/mitigation from tree extraction so adjusters approve the claim without pushback.
