Storm Damage Tree Removal

If you have a fallen tree, or suspect that your tree has been damaged by lightning or a storm, it is a good idea to call a certified tree surgeon. 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 have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are typically considered as being durable and timeless, trees can certainly come to be defenceless in extreme weather conditions like strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and very high winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it also can cause expensive repairs.

The most difficult decision after a windstorm is not how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly easy. The more challenging decision is if some of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partially damaged in the windstorm might present a future threat and might need to be disassembled and removed to prevent putting property and people at risk in months or even years to come.

Other trees maybe conserved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked sections being ‘severed’ similar to how a surgeon will amputate a gangrenous limb. Others will require to be staked down with guy wires or supported with additional supports until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree experts can be relied upon to clear away the affected trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building and construction companies easy access to the building to begin repair work on the affected buildings and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

All of these types of problem causes a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a prognosis is a task best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to overlook a small detail that might differentiate one conclusion from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that signifies that the roots also failed.

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

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, resulting in the trees crown to fall or to lean violently while the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree crack below the soil, resulting in the tree bending or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most often on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The whole crown basically turns into a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a several additional effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a very much increased danger to drop despite the fact that it got through the original windstorm.
