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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they’re often considered as being really strong and timeless, trees can certainly come to be vulnerable in adverse weather conditions like strong winds & storms. Violent storms and very high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and tear even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger and inconvenience it also may cause costly repair work.

The toughest decision following a windstorm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much simple. The tougher possibility is whether any of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partially injured in the windstorm can present a potential hazard and might have to be disassembled and disposed of to prevent placing property & people at risk in several months or years in the future.

Some other trees might be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged parts being ‘severed’ much like how an operating surgeon may take off a gangrenous limb. Others may need to get staked down with guy cables or held up with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree professionals can be relied upon to get rid of the broken trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction teams access to the building to start repair work on the affected structures and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage results in a different prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to overlook a small detail that might just differentiate one verdict from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that signifies that the roots also failed.

There are generally 6 types of storm damage that a tree can’t typically sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, resulting in the crown to come down or sag violently whilst the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree break below the ground, leading to the tree bending or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This takes place most frequently on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The complete crown basically ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of additional 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 always at a substantially increased danger to fall even though it survived the original windstorm.
