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

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are often seen as being sturdy and everlasting, trees may come to be at risk in adverse weather like storms and strong winds. Powerful storms and extreme winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times following a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it also can cause costly repair work.

The most difficult decision following a storm is not how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly easy. The tougher decision is whether some of the trees still upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been moderately affected in the windstorm may well pose a potential future risk and may well need to be chopped down and disposed of to prevent placing people and property in danger in many months or years ahead.

Other trees may be conserved by being pruned back, with their most affected parts being ‘severed’ much like how a surgeon will remove a gangrenous leg. Some other may 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 fall on property, our tree contractors can be trusted to clear away the injured trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building and construction companies access to the building to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected structures and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of problem creates an unique prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to fail to notice a small detail that may separate one decision from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six forms of storm damage which a tree can’t normally endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, causing the crown to fall or angle violently even though the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree snap under the ground, leading to the tree bending or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This occurs most commonly on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The whole crown effectively transforms into a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a many secondary effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a considerably greater risk to drop even if it survived the initial windstorm.
