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 Maple Leaf calls typically look like
Maple Leaf sits in North Seattle and is characterized by tall firs and hemlocks over mid-century single-family homes. 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 Maple Leaf 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.
