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 Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they are often viewed as being really solid and permanent, trees can certainly come to be defenceless in extreme weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Intense storms and high winds have been known to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

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

The toughest option after a storm is not specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly simple. The more challenging choice is whether some of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partly harmed in the windstorm might present a potential future hazard and may need to be chopped down and removed to avoid putting property and people at risk in several months or even years to come.

Other trees could be saved by being pruned back, with their most affected sections being ‘severed’ just like how a surgeon would remove a gangrenous leg. Some other will require to be staked with guy ropes or held up with other supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree specialists can be relied upon to get rid of the broken trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building teams easy access to the building to start maintenance and repairs on the affected properties and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of problem leads to a distinct outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a prognosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to miss a small detail that may differentiate one verdict from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage which a tree can’t typically stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, making the crown to fall or to bend violently while the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree snap below the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This happens most often on trees with very lopsided crowns. The entire crown effectively turns into a weathervane in a storm, 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 hits have a several additional effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a substantially increased risk to fall even if it made it through the original windstorm.
