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. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they’re typically seen as being sturdy and timeless, trees can end up being defenceless in adverse weather such as storms and strong winds. Intense storms and extreme winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

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

The toughest decision after a storm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less straightforward. The harder choice is if any of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been moderately affected in the windstorm can pose a potential risk and may well need to be disassembled and removed to avoid putting people and property in danger in many months or even years in the future.

Other trees might be conserved by being trimmed back, with their most injured sections being ‘severed’ just like how a surgeon may amputate a gangrenous limb. Others may need to get staked with guy ropes or supported with additional supports until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on property, our tree contractors can be trusted to take away the injured trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the building to start repair work on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of damage creates a different diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to disregard a small detail that could differentiate one verdict from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

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

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, making the trees crown to fall or angle strongly while the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split beneath the earth, resulting in the tree bending or swaying 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 occurs most commonly on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The complete crown ultimately becomes a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow 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 hits have a several secondary effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a substantially increased danger to fall despite the fact that it got through the initial windstorm.
