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. Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re typically viewed as being solid and permanent, trees can certainly end up being vulnerable in adverse weather such as strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and very high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

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

The most difficult decision following a storm is not how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much straightforward. The more difficult possibility is whether or not some of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partially affected in the windstorm may present a potential risk and might need to be cut down and disposed of to prevent placing property and people at risk in several months or years ahead.

Other trees can be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘severed’ exactly like how a surgeon may amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other may need to be staked down with guy ropes or held up with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure 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 damaged trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction crews access to the property to begin restorations on the damaged structures and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of problem results in a different prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task ideally left 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 seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 kinds of storm damage which a tree can’t generally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, resulting in the crown to fall or to lean violently whilst the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split below the earth, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This takes place most frequently on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The full crown effectively transforms into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes 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 lightening-hit tree is always at a substantially higher risk to fall even if it survived the original windstorm.
