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. Untrained persons should never attempt to deal with a tree that has fallen because of all the objects that might be under or around it and any live power lines. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they’re usually seen as being really solid and everlasting, trees can come to be defenceless in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Violent storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it also will lead to expensive repair work.

The hardest decision after a storm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty straightforward. The more challenging possibility is if some of the trees left upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially affected in the windstorm might present a future threat and may well need to be chopped down and took away to avoid placing property & people at risk in months or even years to come.

Some other trees could be conserved by being pruned back, with their most cracked parts being ‘severed’ much like how an operating surgeon might amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other might need to be staked with guy cables or held up with additional supports until they can re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree professionals can be relied upon to clear away the injured trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the building to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected properties and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of damage results in a different outlook for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to overlook a small detail that might just separate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which shows that the roots also failed.

There are generally six types of storm damage which a tree can not normally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, causing the crown to fall or lean strongly even though the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap beneath the ground, leading to the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most typically on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The complete crown effectively ends up being a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a many additional effects including 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 considerably greater danger to drop even if it made it through the initial windstorm.
