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. 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.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Though they’re generally viewed as being solid and permanent, trees can end up being at risk in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Intense storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times after strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it additionally will lead to expensive restorations.

The most difficult option after a windstorm isn’t how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s more or less straightforward. The more difficult possibility is if any of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been in part injured in the storm might present a potential hazard and might have to be disassembled and took out to avoid putting people and property in danger in several months or even years in the future.

Other trees may be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most affected sections being ‘severed’ similar to how a surgeon might take off a gangrenous limb. Some other may require to be staked with guy ropes or held up with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on property, our tree specialists can be relied upon to remove the broken trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction companies easy access to the building to begin maintenance and repairs on the damaged properties and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of problem results in a different prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to overlook a small detail that may differentiate one decision from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that reveals that the roots also snapped.

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

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, making the trees crown to come down or angle strongly even though the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break below the earth, leading to the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most commonly on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The complete crown ultimately becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a number of 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 typically at a considerably higher danger to fall even if it got through the initial storm.
