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 persons should never attempt to deal with a tree that has fallen because of all the objects that might be under or around it and any live power lines. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they’re generally viewed as being durable and permanent, trees can certainly become at risk in adverse weather conditions such as storms & strong winds. Violent storms and high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and tear even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it also may result in expensive repairs.

The toughest option following a storm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much easy. The more challenging decision is whether or not any of the trees left upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been moderately affected in the storm may present a possible future risk and may need to be disassembled and took out to prevent placing people and property at risk in months or even years ahead.

Other trees may be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘cut off’ similar to how a surgeon may remove a gangrenous leg. Some other might require to be staked down with guy cables or held up with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree professionals can be trusted to remove the damaged trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building teams access to the building to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of problem results in a different outlook for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to disregard a small detail that might separate one verdict from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 types of storm damage that a tree can not normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, making the trees crown to fall or bend strongly even though the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear below the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most typically on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The complete crown ultimately ends up being a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a many secondary 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 considerably greater risk to drop even if it made it through the initial storm.
