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. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they’re often seen as being really strong and eternal, trees can easily become at risk in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Violent storms and extreme winds have been known to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

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

The toughest decision following a windstorm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty easy. The harder decision is whether or not any of the trees still upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been partly harmed in the windstorm may well present a possible future risk and might need to be cut down and took out to avoid putting property and people in danger in many months or even years in the future.

Some other trees could be saved by being trimmed back, with their most damaged parts being ‘cut off’ similar to how an operating surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Others will need to get staked down with guy ropes or supported with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree professionals can be relied upon to get rid of the damaged trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building and construction teams access to the property to begin restorations on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of damage causes a varied diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, however making a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to miss a small detail that could separate one decision from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 sorts of storm damage that a tree can not usually endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, causing the trees crown to come down or to bend violently whilst the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break below the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This takes place most often on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The whole crown basically transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of 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 typically at a substantially greater danger to drop even though it made it through the initial windstorm.
