Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

If you have a fallen tree, or suspect that your tree has been damaged by lightning or a storm, it is a good idea to call a certified 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 Storm Damaged Trees

Though they are usually seen as being solid and permanent, trees can certainly come to be defenceless in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Powerful storms and strong winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it also can cause costly repairs.

The hardest option following a storm is not how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much simple. The more difficult choice is if some of the trees remaining standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially affected in the windstorm may present a potential hazard and might need to be chopped down and took out to prevent putting property & people in danger in several months or even years in the future.

Some other trees can be conserved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked parts being ‘severed’ just like how a surgeon might remove a gangrenous leg. Others may need to be staked down with guy ropes or supported with various other supports 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 experts can be trusted to take away the affected trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the property to begin repairs on the affected buildings and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of damage causes a different diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to disregard a small detail that could separate one decision from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that indicates that the roots also failed.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can not generally endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, leading to the trees crown to fall or lean violently even though the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree snap underneath the ground, leading to the tree bending or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most typically on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The full crown essentially ends up being a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits 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 always at a considerably greater danger to fall despite the fact that it got through the initial windstorm.
