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. 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. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are usually seen as being really strong and eternal, trees can certainly end up being vulnerable in extreme weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Violent storms and very high winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also can lead to expensive restorations.

The hardest option following a storm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly simple. The more difficult possibility is whether some of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been in part affected in the storm can pose a potential future risk and may need to be chopped down and removed to avoid putting people & property at risk in months or even years ahead.

Some other trees may be preserved by being pruned back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘severed’ much like how an operating surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other may need to be staked with guy wires or supported with additional supports until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree specialists can be relied upon to clear away the broken trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building and construction teams access to the building to start repairs on the affected structures and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of problem leads to a different outlook for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a prognosis is a task best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to miss a small detail that can differentiate one verdict from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that indicates that the roots also failed.

There are basically six forms of storm damage that a tree can’t typically endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, leading to the trees crown to fall or sag violently even though the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree tear beneath the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most typically on trees with very lopsided crowns. The entire crown ultimately turns into a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several secondary 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 danger to fall even though it made it through the original storm.
