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

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they’re often considered as being sturdy and everlasting, trees can become at risk in extreme weather like storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and high winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it also can cause costly renovations.

The most difficult option following a windstorm isn’t how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much easy. The harder possibility is if any of the trees left standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partly damaged in the windstorm might present a potential future threat and may well need to be cut down and removed to prevent putting people & property in danger in months or years to come.

Some other trees might be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other might need to get staked down with guy cables or held up with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on property, our tree professionals can be relied upon to clear away the damaged trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building teams easy access to the building to start repairs on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of damage causes a distinct prognosis for the trees’ future survival, however making a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to overlook a small detail that might separate one conclusion from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are generally six kinds of storm damage which a tree can not usually endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, leading to the trees crown to fall or to lean violently whilst the lower section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree snap under the soil, leading to the tree bending or swaying significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most often on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The entire crown effectively ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a several additional effects like 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 greater danger to drop even though it made it through the initial windstorm.
