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.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they’re typically taken as being durable and timeless, trees can certainly end up being vulnerable in adverse weather like strong winds and storms. Violent storms and very high winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it also can result in costly renovations.

The hardest option following a windstorm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is fairly simple. The harder choice is if some of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been in part harmed in the windstorm may present a potential risk and may have to be disassembled and removed to avoid placing property & people at risk in several months or even years in the future.

Some other trees might be conserved by being trimmed back, with their most damaged parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how a surgeon may remove a gangrenous limb. Some other will need to get staked with guy wires or held up with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree professionals can be relied upon to get rid of the injured trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the building to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected structures and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of damage results in an unique diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to fail to notice a small detail that can differentiate one decision from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which shows that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 kinds of storm damage which a tree can not usually sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, resulting in the crown to come down or angle strongly even though the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree snap under the earth, resulting in the tree bending or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most commonly on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The full crown effectively turns into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a number of secondary effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a much increased risk to fall despite the fact that it endured the initial windstorm.
