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.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they’re often taken as being really strong and everlasting, trees may become vulnerable in adverse weather conditions like strong winds & storms. Violent storms and high winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it additionally can lead to costly repairs.

The toughest decision following a storm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s more or less straightforward. The more challenging decision is whether or not any of the trees left standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partly affected in the storm might present a future threat and might have to be cut down and took out to avoid placing property & people in danger in months or even years in the future.

Other trees may be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most damaged sections being ‘amputated’ just like how an operating surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Others might need to be staked with guy ropes or supported with various other supports up 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 buildings, our tree professionals can be trusted to get rid of the affected trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction teams easy access to the building to start restorations on the damaged properties and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of damage leads to a varied outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however making a prognosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to overlook a small detail that may separate one conclusion from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which signifies that the roots also failed.

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

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, resulting in the trees crown to come down or sag strongly while the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree break underneath the ground, leading to the tree leaning or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most commonly on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The full crown essentially ends up being a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot of 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 typically at a considerably increased risk to drop even though it made it through the initial storm.
