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 individuals should not attempt to 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. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they are usually viewed as being strong and eternal, trees can end up being at risk in extreme weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Intense storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times 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 cause expensive repair work.

The hardest decision following a windstorm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly straightforward. The more difficult possibility is if some of the trees still standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been in part damaged in the storm may well pose a possible future hazard and might have to be disassembled and took out to prevent placing people & property in danger in many months or even years ahead.

Some other trees can be saved by being pruned back, with their worst injured parts being ‘severed’ similar to how a surgeon might remove a gangrenous limb. Others may require to get staked down with guy wires or held up with additional supports until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree experts can be trusted to take away the damaged trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the construction crews access to the building to begin repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of damage creates a distinct outlook for the trees’ future survival, however making a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to miss a small detail that might separate one conclusion from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.

There are generally six forms of storm damage which a tree can not typically endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, causing the crown to fall or angle strongly even though the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break underneath the earth, leading to the tree leaning or swinging considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays standing. This takes place most often on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The complete crown basically ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow 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 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 much higher risk to drop even if it made it through the initial storm.
