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 are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they are generally considered as being strong and permanent, trees can come to be at risk in adverse weather like storms and strong winds. Powerful storms and extreme winds have been known to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

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

The hardest option after a windstorm is not how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less simple. The more difficult decision is whether or not some of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been moderately affected in the storm might present a potential hazard and may have to be disassembled and took away to prevent putting property & people in danger in months or years to come.

Other trees might be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured parts being ‘severed’ similar to how an operating surgeon would take off a gangrenous leg. Others may need to get staked down with guy wires or held up with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree specialists can be trusted to remove the broken trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the construction companies access to the property to begin repair work on the affected structures and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of problem causes an unique prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to fail to notice a small detail that can separate one decision from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that suggests that the roots also failed.

There are basically six forms of storm damage that a tree can’t generally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, leading to the crown to come down or bend violently whilst the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break below the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This happens most commonly on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The complete crown essentially ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, turning 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 standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a number 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 always at a considerably increased danger to fall despite the fact that it endured the original storm.
