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. 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.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they’re often taken as being really durable and everlasting, trees can certainly become defenceless in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Powerful storms and high winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also can cause costly restorations.

The most difficult option following a windstorm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly simple. The harder decision is whether any of the trees still standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been moderately harmed in the windstorm can present a potential hazard and may need to be disassembled and took away to prevent putting people & property at risk in several months or years in the future.

Some other trees could be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how a surgeon would take off a gangrenous limb. Others might require to get staked down with guy wires or held up with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree experts can be relied upon to remove the damaged trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction companies access to the building to begin restorations on the affected structures and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of problem causes a distinct prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to miss a small detail that might just differentiate one decision from another, like observing 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’t typically sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, leading to the crown to come down or sag violently while the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree split underneath the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swinging noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays standing. This occurs most commonly on trees with very lopsided crowns. The complete crown essentially transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of 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 always at a much increased danger to drop despite the fact that it made it through the initial windstorm.
