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. Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they’re usually considered as being really solid and permanent, trees may become vulnerable in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and very high winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also may result in costly repair work.

The most difficult decision after a windstorm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s fairly easy. The tougher choice is if any of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been in part damaged in the storm may well pose a future threat and may well have to be cut down and disposed of to avoid putting property and people at risk in several months or years ahead.

Some other trees can be conserved by being pruned back, with their most damaged sections being ‘severed’ exactly like how a surgeon would remove a gangrenous leg. Others will need to be staked with guy wires or supported with other supports 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 relied upon to take away the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction crews access to the building to start restorations on the affected structures and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of damage causes a distinct outlook for the trees’ future survival, but making a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to disregard a small detail that might just differentiate one decision from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 sorts of storm damage that a tree can not generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, resulting in the crown to come down or to bend strongly while the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree split beneath the soil, resulting in the tree bending or swinging noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays standing. This occurs most frequently on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The full crown essentially transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, 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 standing, 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 substantially greater risk to fall even if it endured the original storm.
