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.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Though they’re generally viewed as being strong and timeless, trees can certainly come to be defenceless in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Intense storms and extreme winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

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

The toughest decision following a windstorm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty much simple. The more challenging possibility is if some of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partially harmed in the windstorm may well present a potential risk and may well need to be disassembled and removed to prevent putting people & property in danger in many months or years ahead.

Some other trees may be saved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon might amputate a gangrenous limb. Others will require to be staked down with guy cables or held up with additional supports until they are able to 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 specialists can be relied upon to clear away the broken trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the building to start repairs on the affected properties and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of problem results in an unique outlook for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to disregard a small detail that may separate one verdict from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that shows that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t usually sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, making the crown to fall or to sag violently while the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree tear below the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most frequently on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The entire crown effectively transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a many additional effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a very much higher risk to fall even if it made it through the original windstorm.
