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

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they’re often taken as being strong and everlasting, trees can come to be at risk in extreme weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Fierce storms and high winds have been known to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it additionally may lead to expensive repair work.

The toughest option after a windstorm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s more or less simple. The tougher choice is if any of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partly injured in the windstorm may present a future threat and might need to be chopped down and took away to prevent putting people & property at risk in several months or years ahead.

Other trees might be saved by being pruned back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘amputated’ exactly like how a surgeon will remove a gangrenous leg. Others might need to get staked down with guy cables or held up with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree professionals can be relied upon to take away the damaged trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction companies easy access to the building to start repairs on the affected properties and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of problem causes a different prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but making a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to overlook a small detail that can separate one conclusion from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which shows that the roots also snapped.

There are generally six types of storm damage which a tree can’t usually endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, resulting in the trees crown to come down or lean strongly even though the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack underneath the soil, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This happens most often on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The whole crown essentially becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting 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 hits have a many secondary effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a considerably increased risk to drop even if it endured the original windstorm.
