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.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they’re often seen as being really durable and permanent, trees can certainly come to be at risk in extreme weather conditions such as storms and strong winds. Intense storms and very high winds have been seen to decimate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times following strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also may lead to expensive restorations.

The most difficult decision after a windstorm is not specifically how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less simple. The tougher possibility is whether or not any of the trees still upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partially injured in the storm might pose a possible future threat and may need to be chopped down and took out to avoid putting people and property at risk in several months or even years in the future.

Other trees can be saved by being pruned back, with their most affected sections being ‘cut off’ much like how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other might need to be staked with guy wires or supported with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on property, our tree experts can be trusted to clear away the damaged trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the building to start repair work on the damaged properties and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of damage creates an unique diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to disregard a small detail that may differentiate one conclusion from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that indicates that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can not generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to fall or to lean violently while the lower part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap beneath the earth, leading to the tree leaning or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most often on trees with very lopsided crowns. The full crown essentially becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a several additional effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a very much increased danger to fall even if it made it through the original storm.
