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

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are usually considered as being solid and permanent, trees may come to be at risk in adverse weather conditions like storms and strong winds. Powerful storms and high winds have been seen to decimate trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them toppling 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 and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience and danger it also may lead to expensive renovations.

The toughest option following a storm is not how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much easy. The more difficult choice is whether or not any of the trees still standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partly damaged in the windstorm might pose a future threat and might have to be cut down and removed to prevent placing people & property at risk in several months or even years to come.

Some other trees may be saved by being pruned back, with their most injured parts being ‘severed’ similar to how a surgeon may amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other might require to get staked with guy ropes or held up with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree contractors can be relied upon to get rid of the affected trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the construction teams access to the building to start maintenance and repairs on the affected properties and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of problem causes a varied diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, however making a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to miss a small detail that might separate one conclusion from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that shows that the roots also snapped.

There are generally six types of storm damage that a tree can’t normally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, resulting in the crown to fall or to bend strongly even though the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap below the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most typically on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The whole crown ultimately ends up being a weathervane 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, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a lot of secondary effects including 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 very much higher risk to drop even though it endured the original windstorm.
