Storm Damage Tree Removal

If you have and fallen trees or any damaged trees from a storm or lightning, you should call a qualified tree surgeon. 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 Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they’re usually taken as being really strong and timeless, trees can certainly come to be defenceless in adverse weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and very high winds have been known to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times following strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it additionally may result in expensive restorations.

The hardest decision after a storm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly simple. The more difficult decision is whether or not any of the trees still standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been in part injured in the storm may present a potential risk and might need to be cut down and took away to prevent putting people and property at risk in several months or even years in the future.

Other trees maybe conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured sections being ‘amputated’ just like how an operating surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Others may need to get staked down with guy cables or supported with additional 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 professionals can be trusted to take away the broken trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building teams access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged structures and power cables.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of problem leads to a different prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a prognosis is a job ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to miss a small detail that might separate one decision from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which signifies that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six forms of storm damage which a tree can not typically stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, resulting in the crown to fall or bend strongly while the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree tear under the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This happens most typically on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The complete crown effectively becomes a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of secondary effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a substantially greater danger to drop despite the fact that it made it through the original storm.
