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. 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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they’re often viewed as being really durable and everlasting, trees can certainly become at risk in adverse weather like strong winds & storms. Intense storms and strong winds have been seen to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it also will lead to expensive renovations.

The most difficult decision following a storm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much straightforward. The more challenging decision is whether or not some of the trees left upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been partially damaged in the windstorm may well pose a future threat and may need to be chopped down and removed to avoid placing property & people in danger in several months or even years to come.

Other trees could be saved by being pruned back, with their most injured sections being ‘severed’ similar to how a surgeon may take off a gangrenous leg. Some other might require to be staked with guy wires or held up with other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree specialists can be trusted to take away the affected trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building companies access to the building to start repairs on the damaged properties and power cables.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of damage results in a varied prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a prognosis is a task best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to miss a small detail that may separate one decision from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that signifies that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage that a tree can not generally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, leading to the trees crown to come down or to bend violently even though the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack under the earth, leading to the tree bending or swinging noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This takes place most often on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The complete crown essentially turns into a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a many secondary effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a much higher risk to fall even if it survived the original windstorm.
