Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and 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 have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they’re usually seen as being really sturdy and everlasting, trees can become at risk in extreme weather like strong winds & storms. Intense storms and very high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it also will result in expensive restorations.

The most difficult decision following a storm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less straightforward. The harder decision is whether any of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been moderately damaged in the storm may present a potential risk and might have to be cut down and took away to avoid putting property & people at risk in many months or even years ahead.

Other trees may be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured sections being ‘severed’ much like how an operating surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Others might need to be staked down with guy wires or supported with other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree specialists can be trusted to take away the injured trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction crews access to the building to begin repair work on the affected buildings and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of damage creates a varied outlook for the trees’ potential survival, however making a prognosis is a job ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to overlook a small detail that might just separate one decision from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 kinds of storm damage which a tree can’t normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, making the trees crown to fall or bend strongly even though the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree split underneath the earth, leading to the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This happens most frequently on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The entire crown effectively becomes a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a lot of secondary effects including 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 very much greater risk to fall even if it survived the initial storm.
