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. Untrained individuals should not attempt to 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 are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they’re often viewed as being solid and everlasting, trees can certainly come to be vulnerable in adverse weather conditions such as storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and strong winds have been seen to decimate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing 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. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it also may cause costly renovations.

The most difficult decision after a windstorm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty much straightforward. The more difficult decision is if any of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partially injured in the storm might pose a potential future threat and may have to be chopped down and took out to prevent putting people & property at risk in many months or years ahead.

Other trees might be saved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked parts being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon may remove a gangrenous limb. Some other may need to get staked with guy wires or supported with other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree contractors can be trusted to clear away the affected trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building teams access to the property to start repairs on the damaged structures and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of damage results in a distinct outlook for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to fail to notice a small detail that might separate one verdict from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.

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

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, making the trees crown to fall or lean violently whilst the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break under the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This happens most often on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The complete crown basically ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind 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 hits have a many additional effects like 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 substantially higher danger to drop despite the fact that it survived the initial storm.
