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. 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 are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they are generally considered as being strong and eternal, trees can certainly come to be at risk in adverse weather conditions such as storms & strong winds. Violent storms and very high winds have been known to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times following a storm have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it additionally will cause costly repair work.

The hardest decision after a storm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s more or less straightforward. The harder decision is whether some of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been in part affected in the storm might pose a future threat and may have to be disassembled and took out to prevent putting people and property in danger in several months or years in the future.

Some other trees may be saved by being trimmed back, with their most affected sections being ‘severed’ similar to how a surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Some other might need to get staked down with guy wires or supported with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree professionals can be relied upon to remove the broken trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building and construction teams access to the property to begin maintenance and repairs on the damaged properties and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of damage causes a varied prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however making a diagnosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to overlook a small detail that might just differentiate one verdict from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which signifies that the roots also failed.

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

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, making the trees crown to come down or to angle strongly even though the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break below the soil, leading to the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most commonly on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The complete crown effectively becomes a weather vane in a storm, turning 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 number of secondary effects like 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 greater risk to drop even if it made it through the initial storm.
