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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they’re generally taken as being really strong and eternal, trees may become defenceless in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and extreme winds have been seen to annihilate trees and tear even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times following strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also can result in costly restorations.

The hardest option after a storm is not how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly simple. The harder choice is if some of the trees left upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been partially injured in the windstorm can present a potential future threat and might have to be cut down and disposed of to prevent putting people and property at risk in many months or even years ahead.

Some other trees maybe preserved by being pruned back, with their worst injured parts being ‘amputated’ exactly like how an operating surgeon might amputate a gangrenous limb. Others may need to be staked with guy cables or held up with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree contractors can be trusted to take away the injured trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building teams easy access to the building to begin repairs on the damaged structures and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of damage causes a varied prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to disregard a small detail that could differentiate one decision from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which shows that the roots also failed.

There are essentially 6 sorts of storm damage which a tree can not generally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, resulting in the crown to come down or sag strongly while the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap beneath the soil, leading to the tree bending or swaying significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays standing. This occurs most frequently on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The full crown effectively turns into a weathervane in a storm, turning 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 standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a several secondary effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a substantially greater risk to drop even though it survived the original windstorm.
