Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

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. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re typically taken as being really sturdy and everlasting, trees can easily become at risk in extreme weather such as strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and strong winds have been known to decimate trees and tear even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it additionally may result in expensive repairs.

The most difficult decision after a storm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that is fairly easy. The more difficult choice is whether any of the trees remaining standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been partly affected in the windstorm may well pose a potential future hazard and may have to be disassembled and removed to prevent putting people & property in danger in several months or even years ahead.

Other trees maybe preserved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘severed’ just like how an operating surgeon will remove a gangrenous leg. Some other will need to be staked with guy ropes or held up with additional supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on property, our tree experts can be trusted to take away the affected trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building crews easy access to the property to begin repair work on the affected properties and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

All of these types of damage leads to a different outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more going to disregard a small detail that might just differentiate one decision from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 kinds of storm damage that a tree can not normally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, causing the trees crown to fall or angle strongly even though the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree split beneath the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swaying noticeably.
• 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 takes place most frequently on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The whole crown essentially turns into a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a many 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 always at a much higher risk to drop even though it endured the original windstorm.
