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. 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. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they’re generally considered as being solid and permanent, trees can end up being defenceless in extreme weather conditions such as storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it also will lead to costly repairs.

The most difficult decision after a windstorm is not how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty simple. The more difficult choice is whether some of the trees still upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been partially affected in the storm may well pose a future hazard and may well need to be chopped down and removed to avoid placing property & people at risk in many months or years in the future.

Other trees may be saved by being pruned back, with their worst affected sections being ‘severed’ similar to how an operating surgeon may take off a gangrenous leg. Some other will need to be staked with guy ropes or supported with other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on property, our tree contractors can be trusted to clear away the affected trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building teams easy access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged structures and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of problem results in a different prognosis for the trees’ future survival, however making a diagnosis is a task best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to fail to notice a small detail that might separate one conclusion from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that indicates that the roots also failed.

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

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, resulting in the trees crown to fall or to bend violently even though the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree crack under the soil, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This happens most frequently on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The complete crown effectively ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a many additional effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a substantially increased risk to fall despite the fact that it survived the original storm.
