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.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they are usually considered as being durable and everlasting, trees may come to be vulnerable in adverse weather like strong winds and storms. Violent storms and very high winds have been known to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience & danger it also will cause expensive renovations.

The toughest option following a windstorm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty easy. The more difficult possibility is whether or not some of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been partly damaged in the storm may present a future threat and may well need to be disassembled and removed to avoid placing property & people at risk in months or even years in the future.

Some other trees may be saved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘cut off’ much like how a surgeon might remove a gangrenous leg. Some other might require to get staked down with guy cables or supported with other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree experts can be relied upon to clear away the affected trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building and construction crews access to the property to begin restorations on the damaged structures and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage creates a varied prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to disregard a small detail that could differentiate one decision from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which suggests that the roots also failed.

There are basically six forms of storm damage which a tree can’t usually endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, making the trees crown to come down or angle violently whilst the lower section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree snap underneath the earth, leading to the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most frequently on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The entire crown basically turns into a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a several additional effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a much greater danger to drop even though it made it through the initial storm.
