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. 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. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they are typically taken as being really strong and eternal, trees may end up being vulnerable in extreme weather such as strong winds & storms. Intense storms and extreme winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

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

The most difficult decision following a windstorm is not specifically how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much straightforward. The more difficult possibility is if any of the trees left upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been moderately affected in the storm may well present a potential future risk and may well have to be cut down and took out to avoid putting people & property in danger in many months or even years to come.

Other trees maybe conserved by being pruned back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘severed’ much like how a surgeon would remove a gangrenous leg. Some other may need to get staked down with guy wires or held up with various other supports until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on property, our tree experts can be trusted to get rid of the affected trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building teams easy access to the property to begin restorations on the affected properties and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of damage creates a varied diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, however making a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to disregard a small detail that may differentiate one verdict from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 kinds of storm damage which a tree can’t generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, resulting in the trees crown to come down or lean violently even though the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear beneath the soil, leading to the tree bending or swaying significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most frequently on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The complete crown effectively becomes a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of secondary effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a much greater risk to fall even though it made it through the original storm.
