Storm Damage Tree Removal

If you are concerned about a tree that has fallen or has been damaged from lightning or a storm, we recommend calling a qualified tree surgeon. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and deal with a fallen tree, as there are many objects that could be trapped underneath or around the tree, as well as any live power lines. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are typically considered as being durable and eternal, trees can easily become vulnerable in adverse weather conditions such as storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and strong winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it additionally will cause expensive repairs.

The toughest decision after a storm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less easy. The harder decision is whether or not some of the trees remaining standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been partly harmed in the windstorm may present a potential future threat and might need to be disassembled and removed to avoid placing property & people at risk in months or years to come.

Other trees can be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured parts being ‘cut off’ exactly like how an operating surgeon would remove a gangrenous leg. Others will require to get staked down with guy cables or supported with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree specialists can be relied upon to remove the injured trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building and construction teams easy access to the building to start repairs on the damaged structures and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of damage leads to an unique prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, however making a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to overlook a small detail that may well differentiate one verdict from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are generally 6 kinds of storm damage which a tree can’t usually sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, resulting in the trees crown to fall or to angle strongly whilst the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break underneath the soil, leading to the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays up. This occurs most typically on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The entire crown ultimately ends up being a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a many additional effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a very much greater risk to fall even if it got through the original windstorm.
