Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. 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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they are generally seen as being really strong and permanent, trees can end up being defenceless in extreme weather conditions like storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and high winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

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

The toughest decision after a windstorm isn’t how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less easy. The tougher decision is whether or not some of the trees left standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partly injured in the windstorm may present a potential future threat and may need to be cut down and took out to prevent placing property & people in danger in months or even years to come.

Some other trees may be preserved by being pruned back, with their worst damaged parts being ‘cut off’ much like how a surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Others will need to be staked down with guy ropes or supported with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on property, our tree specialists can be relied upon to clear away the broken trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building crews access to the building to start repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of damage results in a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to fail to notice a small detail that might just differentiate one decision from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which suggests that the roots also failed.

There are essentially 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can not normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, making the trees crown to come down or to angle strongly whilst the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split beneath the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most often on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The entire crown essentially ends up being a weather vane in a windstorm, turning 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, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a number of additional effects including 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 considerably greater risk to drop even if it made it through the original windstorm.
