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. 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 are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they are generally seen as being solid and timeless, trees can end up being vulnerable in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and high winds have been known to annihilate trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

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

The toughest option following a storm isn’t how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty straightforward. The more difficult decision is if any of the trees still standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially damaged in the storm can present a potential future threat and might need to be chopped down and disposed of to prevent placing people & property in danger in many months or even years to come.

Other trees could be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most injured sections being ‘severed’ just like how an operating surgeon would remove a gangrenous limb. Others will require to be staked down with guy cables or supported with additional supports until they can re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree experts can be trusted to clear away the affected trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction companies easy access to the building to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected properties and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of problem leads to a varied diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a task best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to miss a small detail that might just differentiate one decision from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six types of storm damage which a tree can not typically sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, causing the crown to fall or bend strongly even though the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split underneath the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swinging noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This happens most frequently on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The whole crown effectively turns into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a lot of additional effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a much increased risk to fall even though it made it through the initial storm.
