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. 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 Storm Damaged Trees

Though they’re generally seen as being really durable and timeless, trees can come to be defenceless in adverse weather like storms and strong winds. Powerful storms and very high winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it also will result in costly restorations.

The toughest option after a storm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much straightforward. The harder choice is whether any of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been in part harmed in the windstorm can present a possible future risk and might need to be cut down and took away to avoid putting people & property in danger in months or years ahead.

Some other trees might be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most affected parts being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon might amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other might need to get staked with guy wires or held up with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree specialists can be trusted to remove the damaged trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building crews easy access to the building to start restorations on the affected buildings and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of problem creates an unique diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to disregard a small detail that might just differentiate one decision from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which shows that the roots also failed.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can not generally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, causing the crown to come down or angle violently whilst the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree tear below the earth, leading to the tree bending or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most typically on trees with very lopsided crowns. The complete crown basically transforms into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a several 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 always at a very much higher danger to fall despite the fact that it endured the initial windstorm.
