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. 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. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they are often taken as being sturdy and eternal, trees can easily become vulnerable in adverse weather such as strong winds & storms. Violent storms and high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it also may lead to costly repairs.

The hardest option after a storm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s more or less straightforward. The tougher possibility is whether some of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been moderately harmed in the storm might pose a potential risk and might have to be chopped down and removed to prevent putting property and people at risk in many months or years ahead.

Some other trees might be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘cut off’ just like how an operating surgeon may take off a gangrenous leg. Others might require to get staked down with guy ropes or held up with additional supports until they can re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree professionals can be trusted to clear away the affected trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building crews easy access to the property to start repair work on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of problem creates a different diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to disregard a small detail that may separate one verdict from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are basically six types of storm damage which a tree can not typically sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, resulting in the trees crown to fall or to angle strongly whilst the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree crack under the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most often on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The complete crown basically transforms into a weathervane in a storm, 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 standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a number of additional effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a much greater danger to drop even if it survived the original storm.
