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.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they are usually viewed as being durable and eternal, trees can become at risk in extreme weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Fierce storms and high winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience & danger it also can result in costly restorations.

The toughest decision following a storm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly easy. The harder decision is whether or not some of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been moderately damaged in the windstorm might pose a possible future risk and may well need to be cut down and disposed of to prevent putting people and property at risk in months or even years to come.

Other trees may be saved by being pruned back, with their worst affected sections being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon may take off a gangrenous leg. Others may need to be staked with guy wires or held up with additional supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on property, our tree specialists can be relied upon to clear away the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction companies access to the building to begin repairs on the affected properties and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of problem causes a different outlook for the trees’ future survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to miss a small detail that may well differentiate one verdict from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that signifies that the roots also snapped.

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

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, making the crown to fall or sag violently while the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree break under the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This occurs most often on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The full crown effectively turns into a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a many secondary 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 always at a very much higher danger to fall even though it survived the original windstorm.
