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. 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. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they are often considered as being durable and everlasting, trees can certainly become at risk in extreme weather conditions like storms and strong winds. Powerful storms and very high winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also may result in expensive renovations.

The toughest decision following a storm is not how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less simple. The more difficult decision is whether or not some of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been moderately damaged in the windstorm can present a future threat and may have to be cut down and removed to avoid putting property and people at risk in many months or even years to come.

Some other trees may be saved by being trimmed back, with their most injured sections being ‘severed’ exactly like how an operating surgeon may take off a gangrenous limb. Others will require to get staked down with guy ropes or held up with other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree experts can be relied upon to remove the damaged trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building and construction teams easy access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the affected buildings and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of problem results in an unique prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to disregard a small detail that might differentiate one conclusion from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that indicates that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six kinds of storm damage that a tree can not typically stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, making the crown to come down or to angle violently while the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break below the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most typically on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The complete crown ultimately becomes a weather vane in a storm, 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 many secondary 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 considerably higher risk to drop even if it survived the original windstorm.
