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. Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they’re generally seen as being solid and timeless, trees can come to be vulnerable in extreme weather such as strong winds and storms. Intense storms and strong winds have been known to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest & 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 of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also can cause expensive renovations.

The toughest option after a storm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly simple. The tougher choice is whether any of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially harmed in the windstorm might pose a possible future threat and may have to be chopped down and took away to prevent putting people and property in danger in many months or years in the future.

Some other trees may be conserved by being pruned back, with their worst injured sections being ‘severed’ much like how an operating surgeon would take off a gangrenous limb. Some other will require to get staked with guy cables or supported with various other supports until they can re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree experts can be trusted to get rid of the damaged trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building crews access to the property to start repair work on the affected buildings and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of problem leads to a different outlook for the trees’ long term survival, but making a prognosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to fail to notice a small detail that can separate one conclusion from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that shows that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t usually endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, leading to the trees crown to fall or to lean violently while the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break underneath the soil, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most often on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The complete crown basically ends up being a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of secondary effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a very much increased danger to drop even if it got through the initial windstorm.
