Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. 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.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they’re generally seen as being solid and permanent, trees may become defenceless in extreme weather conditions like storms and strong winds. Powerful storms and very high winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it additionally may result in expensive renovations.

The most difficult option after a storm is not how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty easy. The tougher choice is whether any of the trees still upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been partly affected in the windstorm may well present a potential future risk and might have to be cut down and disposed of to avoid placing people & property in danger in many months or even years to come.

Other trees may be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured parts being ‘severed’ similar to how an operating surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Some other will need to be staked with guy wires 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 buildings, our tree professionals can be relied upon to remove the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction companies easy access to the building to start restorations on the damaged properties and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

All of these types of damage results in a distinct prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to fail to notice a small detail that may differentiate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which reveals that the roots also snapped.

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

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, causing the trees crown to fall or lean violently while the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear under the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swinging noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most frequently on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The entire crown effectively turns into a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a several additional effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a much higher risk to drop even though it survived the initial windstorm.
