Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they are generally viewed as being really strong and timeless, trees can end up being vulnerable in extreme weather like strong winds & storms. Intense storms and strong winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

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

The most difficult decision following a windstorm is not specifically how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less straightforward. The more challenging possibility is whether some of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been moderately damaged in the windstorm may pose a future hazard and may well have to be cut down and removed to prevent placing property and people in danger in several months or even years in the future.

Other trees can be conserved by being pruned back, with their most damaged parts being ‘cut off’ just like how a surgeon may amputate a gangrenous leg. Others will need to get staked down with guy ropes or held up with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree professionals can be trusted to clear away the broken trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction teams access to the building to begin restorations on the affected structures and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these sorts of damage leads to a varied diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, however making a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to overlook a small detail that can differentiate one conclusion from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 sorts of storm damage that a tree can’t typically stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, making the crown to come down or to lean strongly whilst the lower section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree tear below the soil, leading to the tree bending or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays up. This happens most commonly on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The entire crown ultimately ends up being a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of secondary effects such as 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 very much higher risk to drop even if it survived the initial windstorm.
