Don't ask the internet. Ask your policy.
Does insurance pay to haul away debris after a covered loss?
Debris removal is usually its own clause with its own limit rather than part of the main coverage amount.
What filed forms generally say
Filed forms commonly pay reasonable debris-removal expense for property covered by the policy, as part of — not in addition to — the applicable limit.
Many forms add a separate small allowance when the limit is exhausted by the loss itself.
Removing a fallen tree is often handled by a distinct clause with its own cap, separate from general debris removal.
Why your policy can still say something else
Whether debris removal sits inside the limit or on top of it, and the size of the tree-removal cap, differ by form.
