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. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Though they’re generally considered as being solid and timeless, trees may become at risk in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Violent storms and high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

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

The most difficult option following a windstorm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty straightforward. The harder choice is whether or not some of the trees still standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been moderately injured in the windstorm can pose a possible future risk and might need to be chopped down and removed to avoid placing people and property in danger in many months or years in the future.

Other trees maybe saved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon would remove a gangrenous limb. Others may need to get staked down with guy ropes or supported with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on property, our tree experts can be relied upon to get rid of the damaged trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the construction teams easy access to the building to start repairs on the damaged structures and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of problem leads to a varied diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, however making a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to overlook a small detail that could separate one verdict from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that suggests that the roots also failed.

There are generally six kinds of storm damage that a tree can not normally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, causing the crown to come down or to lean violently while the lower section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree snap below the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This takes place most often on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The full crown ultimately transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a number of additional effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a considerably higher danger to drop even though it survived the original windstorm.
