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 persons should never attempt to deal with a tree that has fallen because of all the objects that might be under or around it and any live power lines. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re typically viewed as being sturdy and everlasting, trees can become at risk in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Intense storms and extreme winds have been known to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it also may lead to costly repair work.

The toughest decision after a windstorm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much straightforward. The more difficult decision is whether some of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been moderately affected in the storm may well present a potential future threat and might need to be chopped down and disposed of to avoid putting property and people in danger in many months or years ahead.

Other trees maybe preserved by being pruned back, with their most damaged parts being ‘amputated’ similar to how a surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Others might need to be staked with guy ropes or supported with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree specialists can be relied upon to take away the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the building to begin repair work on the affected structures and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of damage leads to a different outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to disregard a small detail that could separate one verdict from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 sorts of storm damage which a tree can’t typically sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to fall or sag strongly whilst the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap under the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most commonly on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The entire crown effectively ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a lot of additional effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a very much increased danger to fall despite the fact that it got through the initial storm.
