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 have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they are often seen as being solid and timeless, trees can easily come to be defenceless in adverse weather conditions like storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and high winds have been known to decimate trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times following strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it also will result in costly repairs.

The toughest option after a windstorm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much simple. The more difficult possibility is if some of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partially damaged in the storm might pose a potential risk and may need to be chopped down and took out to prevent placing property & people at risk in several months or even years to come.

Other trees might be saved by being pruned back, with their worst injured sections being ‘amputated’ exactly like how an operating surgeon may amputate a gangrenous limb. Others may require to get staked with guy cables or held up with various other supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree specialists can be relied upon to take away the broken trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building crews access to the building to begin repair work on the damaged structures and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of problem creates a varied diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, however making a prognosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more going to disregard a small detail that can differentiate one verdict from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

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

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, causing the trees crown to fall or to lean violently whilst the lower part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear beneath the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This occurs most frequently on trees with very lopsided crowns. The full crown essentially turns into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a number of secondary 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 typically at a considerably higher danger to fall despite the fact that it endured the initial storm.
