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. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and 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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are usually taken as being really sturdy and eternal, trees can come to be vulnerable in adverse weather conditions like strong winds & storms. Powerful storms and very high winds have been known to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it also may result in expensive repair work.

The hardest option after a storm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty straightforward. The more difficult choice is whether or not some of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partly harmed in the windstorm might pose a potential future hazard and may well have to be chopped down and took out to avoid placing people and property in danger in many months or years ahead.

Other trees may be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Others will need to get staked with guy wires or supported with other 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 buildings, our tree specialists can be relied upon to get rid of the affected trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building crews access to the building to begin repairs on the affected properties and power cables.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these types of problem causes an unique diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, however making a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to fail to notice a small detail that might separate one decision from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 kinds of storm damage that a tree can not usually sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, leading to the trees crown to fall or angle strongly while the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree crack under the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most commonly on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The full crown ultimately transforms into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot of additional effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a much greater risk to fall even if it made it through the original windstorm.
