First steps — pool incident
Shut off pool and spa power at the breaker before anyone approaches — submerged wood can trap live equipment. Do not swim to inspect.
What Leschi calls typically look like
Leschi sits in Central Seattle and is characterized by steep west-facing slopes with mature firs and madrona above the lake. During Puget Sound windstorms — especially November through February — saturated soils and hard south winds combine to bring down big trees. Calls like “tree fell in my pool” spike in these windows.
Insurance angle
In-ground pools are typically covered under homeowners; damage from a fallen tree usually triggers a claim. Above-ground pools vary by policy.
Ask any contractor for proof of current license and general liability insurance before work begins on your Leschi property, and confirm coverage details with your homeowners insurance carrier. This is standard consumer guidance for any tree job.
FAQ
- Can the pool be saved?
- Often yes — the shell is more durable than it looks. Liner and equipment damage are the usual replacements.
- Do you drain the pool to remove the tree?
- Rarely necessary. Crews rig from the deck and cut in place to avoid dropping weight onto the shell.
