Storm Damage Tree Removal

If you have a fallen tree, or suspect that your tree has been damaged by lightning or a storm, it is a good idea to call a certified 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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are typically seen as being strong and permanent, trees can easily come to be at risk in extreme weather conditions such as storms and strong winds. Violent storms and high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it also will result in expensive repairs.

The hardest option following a windstorm is not how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty easy. The tougher choice is whether any of the trees still standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partially damaged in the windstorm can present a potential future hazard and may have to be disassembled and took away to prevent putting people & property at risk in many months or years to come.

Other trees could be saved by being pruned back, with their worst affected parts being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon would take off a gangrenous limb. Others will need to get staked with guy wires or held up with 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 buildings, our tree professionals can be trusted to take away the broken trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction teams access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged properties and power cables.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of problem leads to a different diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to disregard a small detail that could separate one verdict from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that shows that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six types of storm damage that a tree can not typically stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, causing the trees crown to come down or lean strongly whilst the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear underneath the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most commonly on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The whole crown essentially transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, 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 always at a substantially greater danger to drop even though it survived the initial windstorm.
