It just depends on the type of policy your purchased. You may want to contact your insurance agent if you need help determining your coverage.
Most Homeowners insurance policies will only remove the tree debris if the tree also caused damage to your home. Otherwise it's just another felled tree and considered a homeowners maintenance issue.
The cost of hiring someone to haul tree debris away is usually far below the cost of your insurance deductible.
Also, in most U.S. cities all you really have to do is drag the debris to your curb and the city will generally haul it away on the next bulk trash day for free.
750 trees were damaged.
Homeowners insurance is a "Hazard Insurance" It covers your property from unexpected "Sudden Losses" that result from covered perils such as, Fire, Wind, Hail, Falling objects, Theft etc.
Homeowners Insurance Covers the property detailed under your policy. Trees are not an insured property. If a hurricane blows a tree into your house and damages your home then the damage to your home would be covered but if only the tree is damaged then the tree itself is not covered.
Yes it is covered. If it can be proven that the neighbor was negligent in not removing dead trees that they knew were dead or should have known. In this case the neighbors homeowners insurance would pay for removal under their liability coverage. In most cases each company would pay for the trees on their property.
Generally, the homeowner is responsible for hiring a tree removal company to remove trees that fall on their property. Some damage is covered by homeowner's insurance.Generally, the homeowner is responsible for hiring a tree removal company to remove trees that fall on their property.

Yup.
Generally no. This is a maintenance item that builts up over time and does not happen suddenly and accidentally. You can purchase an endorsement to cover sewer and septic tank backup coverage that may cover some damage caused by any damage from the backup. Otherwise it would not be covered and no repair of the septic tank or sewer system would be covered at all.
Lightning Struck TreesIf you have an HO3 all risk policy you may have coverage for Removal of damage shrubbery and trees But Generally No. Most home insurance polices are on Form HO1 and HO2 and will not cover the cost of debris removal unless the felled tree has damaged a covered structure on your property.
Coverage is always determined by the cause of the damage. If the damage was due to a "Covered Cause" then you have coverage. If not then you don't have coverage. Movement of earth is usually excluded from coverage on all homeowners policies. If there was a storm and a tree fell on the wall causing the collapse then you do have coverage. If it fell due to roots from trees pushing it over then sorry but it will not be covered. Insurance damage must also be sudden and accidental. If it happens over time it is a maintenance issue and insurance does not cover maintenance.
Homeowners insurance covers all property but the damage must be from a covered cause. I cannot think of a covered cause that would damage a drain field. More than likely the problem is from roots from trees or vegetation choking out the lines. This would not be covered.
because the mist was covered the trees is look like a desert covered with trees
No, not normally unless that tree is a hazard to the insured structure. Tree trimming, maintenance and removal of trees and shrubs are a normal part of your landscape maintenance and are not covered by your homeowners Insurance policy. Some companies will offer additional coverage for a premium that provides for tree removal even when not a hazard but it is usually added as an endorsement to the policy.
