Storm Damage Tree Removal

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. Untrained individuals should not attempt to 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 have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Though they are typically considered as being durable and timeless, trees can become at risk in extreme weather like storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and high winds have been known to annihilate trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times following strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it also will result in costly repair work.

The most difficult option following a storm is not how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less straightforward. The more difficult possibility is whether or not some of the trees left standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partially affected in the storm may pose a possible future threat and might have to be disassembled and disposed of to prevent putting property & people in danger in months or years ahead.

Other trees might be saved by being pruned back, with their most injured parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how a surgeon might remove a gangrenous limb. Others may require to get staked down with guy ropes or held up with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree contractors can be relied upon to get rid of the damaged trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the construction companies access to the building to begin repairs on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of damage creates a varied diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but making a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to fail to notice a small detail that might separate one verdict from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that shows that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can’t generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, making the crown to come down or sag violently whilst the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree crack under the earth, leading to the tree bending or swinging dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays up. This takes place most often on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The full crown basically transforms into a weathervane 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 several additional effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a very much increased danger to drop even if it survived the initial storm.
