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 individuals should not attempt to 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 are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they are often taken as being really durable and permanent, trees can certainly come to be defenceless in adverse weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Violent storms and very high winds have been known to decimate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times following strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it also will cause expensive repairs.

The toughest decision following a storm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty straightforward. The harder possibility is whether or not any of the trees left standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially harmed in the windstorm can pose a possible future threat and might need to be disassembled and took out to avoid placing people and property in danger in months or years in the future.

Some other trees could be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured sections being ‘cut off’ exactly like how an operating surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other might require to be staked down with guy ropes or held up with various other supports until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on property, our tree experts can be trusted to clear away the injured trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building companies easy access to the property to begin restorations on the damaged structures and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of problem causes a different outlook for the trees’ potential survival, however making a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to miss a small detail that may well differentiate one conclusion from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 sorts of storm damage that a tree can’t usually sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, making the crown to come down or to sag strongly even though the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree snap beneath the earth, leading to the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This occurs most commonly on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The complete crown effectively transforms into a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a several secondary effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a much increased risk to drop even if it survived the original windstorm.
