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

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they are often taken as being really strong and timeless, trees can easily become at risk in extreme weather like strong winds and storms. Intense storms and high winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times following a storm have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience & danger it additionally can lead to expensive restorations.

The most difficult decision following a windstorm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly easy. The more challenging decision is whether any of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partly affected in the windstorm may well present a potential risk and might need to be chopped down and removed to avoid putting people & property at risk in several months or even years in the future.

Other trees maybe saved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected sections being ‘amputated’ much like how an operating surgeon will remove a gangrenous leg. Some other may require to be staked down with guy ropes or supported with various other supports 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 relied upon to take away the broken trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction teams easy access to the property to start restorations on the damaged structures and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage results in a distinct prognosis for the trees’ future survival, however forming a prognosis is a task best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to disregard a small detail that could differentiate one decision from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which suggests that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six forms of storm damage which a tree can’t generally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, causing the crown to fall or to sag violently whilst the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree snap below the earth, leading to the tree leaning or swinging noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This takes place most typically on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The whole crown ultimately transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a number of additional effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a considerably increased danger to drop even if it endured the initial windstorm.
