Storm Damage Tree Removal

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. Untrained persons should never attempt to deal with a tree that has fallen because of all the objects that might be under or around it and any live power lines. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they’re often seen as being strong and permanent, trees can easily end up being defenceless in extreme weather like strong winds & storms. Violent storms and high winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it additionally can lead to costly restorations.

The most difficult decision following a windstorm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that’s fairly straightforward. The tougher possibility is whether or not some of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partially damaged in the windstorm might present a potential threat and might have to be chopped down and removed to avoid putting people and property at risk in months or even years ahead.

Some other trees maybe preserved by being pruned back, with their most damaged parts being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon might remove a gangrenous leg. Some other will require to get staked down with guy wires or held up with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on property, our tree experts can be relied upon to remove the broken trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction teams access to the property to start repairs on the damaged properties and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of damage creates an unique diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to overlook a small detail that might just separate one verdict from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are basically six forms of storm damage which a tree can’t usually sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, making the trees crown to fall or to bend strongly whilst the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree crack underneath the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This takes place most frequently on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The full crown effectively becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot of 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 typically at a considerably higher danger to drop despite the fact that it got through the initial windstorm.
