Storm Damage Tree Removal

If you have and fallen trees or any damaged trees from a storm or lightning, you should call 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. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they’re often considered as being durable and eternal, trees can easily become vulnerable in extreme weather such as strong winds & storms. Violent storms and strong winds have been known to annihilate trees and tear even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it also will result in costly renovations.

The hardest decision following a storm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much straightforward. The more difficult choice is if any of the trees left standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been in part affected in the storm can pose a possible future risk and may have to be disassembled and took away to avoid putting property and people in danger in months or even years in the future.

Other trees could be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘cut off’ just like how a surgeon would remove a gangrenous limb. Others will need to be staked down with guy cables or held up with additional supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree specialists can be trusted to remove the injured trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building teams easy access to the property to begin repairs on the affected structures and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these types of damage leads to an unique diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to fail to notice a small detail that may differentiate one verdict from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are generally six forms of storm damage which a tree can not typically stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to come down or sag strongly while the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree split below the earth, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most typically on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The complete crown essentially transforms into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a many secondary effects such as 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 much increased risk to drop even though it made it through the initial storm.
