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. 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. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they are often seen as being really solid and timeless, trees can become vulnerable in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Violent storms and strong winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it also may result in expensive repairs.

The hardest option after a storm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less easy. The harder decision is if some of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been moderately damaged in the windstorm may pose a potential future hazard and may well have to be disassembled and took away to prevent placing property & people in danger in many months or even years ahead.

Some other trees might be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other might need to be staked with guy cables or held up with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree specialists can be relied upon to clear away the injured trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the construction teams easy access to the property to begin repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of damage creates a distinct prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to disregard a small detail that may well separate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six types of storm damage which a tree can’t generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, making the trees crown to fall or bend violently even though the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree crack underneath the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most commonly on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The full crown ultimately ends up being a weather vane in a storm, turning 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, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot of additional effects like 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 much increased danger to fall even though it survived the original windstorm.
