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. Untrained individuals should not attempt to 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 are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they are typically taken as being solid and eternal, trees may end up being vulnerable in adverse weather such as storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and high winds have been known to wipe out trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times after a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also can lead to costly restorations.

The toughest option after a storm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s more or less easy. The more challenging choice is whether or not any of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partially affected in the windstorm may well present a possible future hazard and may well need to be cut down and took away to prevent putting people and property at risk in months or years in the future.

Other trees maybe saved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked parts being ‘severed’ much like how an operating surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Some other might require to get staked with guy cables or held up with other supports until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree experts can be trusted to get rid of the injured trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building companies easy access to the building to begin repair work on the damaged structures and power lines.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage results in a distinct prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to fail to notice a small detail that might separate one conclusion 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 six types of storm damage which a tree can not typically sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, resulting in the crown to come down or sag strongly while the lower section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree snap below the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This happens most commonly on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The complete crown basically becomes a weathervane 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 up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a lot of 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 very much greater risk to fall despite the fact that it got through the initial windstorm.
