Storm Damage Tree Removal

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. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and 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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they’re generally seen as being solid and timeless, trees may end up being vulnerable in adverse weather like storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and high winds have been known to wipe out trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

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

The most difficult decision following a windstorm isn’t how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less easy. The more challenging possibility is if some of the trees left standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been in part damaged in the storm may present a potential risk and may well have to be cut down and took away to prevent putting people & property in danger in several months or even years in the future.

Other trees could be saved by being trimmed back, with their most affected sections being ‘cut off’ exactly like how a surgeon may take off a gangrenous limb. Others will need to get staked down with guy cables or supported with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree specialists can be trusted to clear away the broken trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the construction teams access to the property to begin restorations on the affected properties and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of damage creates a varied diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to overlook a small detail that may differentiate one conclusion from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which signifies that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six forms of storm damage which a tree can’t generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, leading to the crown to come down or to lean violently while the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split below the soil, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This occurs most typically on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The full crown effectively transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of additional effects such as 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 very much higher risk to fall even though it got through the initial storm.
