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. 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. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Though they’re often considered as being strong and timeless, trees may become defenceless in extreme weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and very high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it also can cause expensive repairs.

The most difficult decision after a windstorm is not how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty easy. The more difficult choice is whether or not some of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been moderately injured in the windstorm may well pose a possible future threat and may need to be chopped down and took out to prevent placing people & property in danger in several months or years to come.

Some other trees maybe preserved by being pruned back, with their most cracked parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how a surgeon might remove a gangrenous limb. Others might need to be staked down with guy wires or supported with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree experts can be relied upon to take away the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction teams easy access to the building to start restorations on the affected properties and power cables.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of damage causes a different outlook for the trees’ future survival, but making a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to disregard a small detail that may well separate one decision from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are essentially 6 sorts of storm damage which a tree can’t usually endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to come down or to sag violently whilst the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree snap underneath the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most typically on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The whole crown basically transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a many additional effects like 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 very much increased danger to drop despite the fact that it got through the initial windstorm.
