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. 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.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they’re usually viewed as being solid and everlasting, trees can become vulnerable in extreme weather such as storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it also may lead to costly restorations.

The toughest option after a windstorm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less easy. The more challenging choice is if any of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partly harmed in the storm may pose a future hazard and may well have to be chopped down and took out to prevent placing people and property at risk in months or years ahead.

Other trees might be conserved by being pruned back, with their most affected parts being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon may take off a gangrenous limb. Others may need to be staked down with guy ropes or supported with other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree contractors can be relied upon to clear away the damaged trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building teams access to the building to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected buildings and power cables.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of damage leads to a different prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to miss a small detail that could differentiate one conclusion from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which shows that the roots also snapped.

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

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, causing the trees crown to fall or to bend violently whilst the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack under the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This occurs most often on trees with very lopsided crowns. The entire crown ultimately turns into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a many additional effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a substantially greater danger to drop despite the fact that it survived the initial storm.
