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

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they’re often seen as being solid and permanent, trees can certainly end up being at risk in adverse weather conditions like storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and strong winds have been known to annihilate trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

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

The most difficult option after a storm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s more or less straightforward. The tougher possibility is whether or not some of the trees left standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially harmed in the windstorm may present a potential threat and may well have to be cut down and took away to prevent placing property and people at risk in many months or even years to come.

Other trees might be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked sections being ‘amputated’ exactly like how an operating surgeon will remove a gangrenous limb. Some other may need to be staked with guy ropes or held up with various other 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 land on property, our tree professionals can be relied upon to remove the damaged trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building teams access to the property to start repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of problem results in a varied diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to overlook a small detail that can separate one conclusion from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 types of storm damage that a tree can not generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, causing the crown to fall or lean violently whilst the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split below the soil, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most often on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The complete crown effectively becomes a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several additional effects such as 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 much increased risk to drop even if it got through the original windstorm.
