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. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and 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 have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they’re typically seen as being really strong and everlasting, trees can easily become at risk in adverse weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and very high winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it also will cause expensive repair work.

The most difficult option following a windstorm is not specifically how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less simple. The tougher possibility is if some of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been moderately harmed in the storm may well present a possible future threat and may well have to be chopped down and removed to avoid putting people and property in danger in several months or even years ahead.

Some other trees maybe conserved by being pruned back, with their worst injured parts being ‘severed’ much like how a surgeon would take off a gangrenous leg. Some other may require to be staked down with guy wires or supported with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree contractors can be relied upon to get rid of the damaged trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building companies access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged properties and power lines.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of damage results in a different outlook for the trees’ future survival, but making a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to fail to notice a small detail that might differentiate one conclusion from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six kinds of storm damage which a tree can not normally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, resulting in the trees crown to fall or to lean strongly whilst the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree split below the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most typically on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The complete crown essentially ends up being a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot 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 considerably increased danger to drop even if it survived the initial storm.
