Storm Damage Tree Removal

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. 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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they are typically seen as being strong and eternal, trees can come to be at risk in adverse weather such as strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been seen to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience & danger it additionally may cause costly renovations.

The hardest decision after a storm isn’t how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty straightforward. The more difficult choice is whether or not any of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partially injured in the windstorm can pose a potential threat and may need to be chopped down and took out to prevent putting people and property in danger in months or years to come.

Other trees can be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured sections being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon would remove a gangrenous limb. Others might need to get staked with guy cables or held up with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree professionals can be trusted to remove the injured trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction crews access to the property to begin restorations on the affected properties and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these types of problem results in an unique diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, however forming a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to disregard a small detail that can differentiate one verdict from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that indicates that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six forms of storm damage that 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 cracks above the soil, causing the crown to come down or to sag strongly even though the lower part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree tear below the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swaying dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This happens most often on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The whole crown ultimately becomes a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a many additional 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 substantially higher risk to drop even if it survived the original windstorm.
