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. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and 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.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Though they are usually taken as being durable and permanent, trees can easily come to be vulnerable in extreme weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times following a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also will result in expensive repair work.

The hardest option following a windstorm is not specifically how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty simple. The more difficult choice is if any of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been in part injured in the windstorm might pose a potential future hazard and might need to be cut down and took away to prevent putting property & people in danger in many months or years ahead.

Some other trees could be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘severed’ similar to how an operating surgeon would take off a gangrenous leg. Some other will need to be staked with guy ropes or supported with additional supports until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree contractors can be relied upon to clear away the affected trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the construction teams easy access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of problem creates a different prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however making a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to disregard a small detail that can separate one verdict from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six types of storm damage that a tree can’t generally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, causing the trees crown to come down or sag violently while the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree crack underneath the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most typically on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The whole crown effectively transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of secondary 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 considerably higher risk to drop despite the fact that it got through the initial windstorm.
