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. Untrained individuals should not attempt to 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.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they’re often viewed as being solid and eternal, trees can become vulnerable in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and high winds have been seen to decimate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it additionally can lead to costly restorations.

The toughest decision following a storm isn’t how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that is fairly simple. The more challenging decision is whether or not some of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partly damaged in the storm may pose a potential future hazard and may well need to be disassembled and disposed of to prevent placing people and property at risk in several months or even years ahead.

Some other trees can be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected sections being ‘cut off’ similar to how a surgeon may remove a gangrenous limb. Some other might need to be staked with guy wires or held up with other supports until they can re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree contractors can be relied upon to get rid of the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction crews easy access to the building to begin restorations on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of damage results in an unique prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however making a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to fail to notice a small detail that might differentiate one conclusion from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which shows that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six sorts of storm damage which a tree can’t typically sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, making the trees crown to come down or to angle violently even though the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split underneath the earth, leading to the tree leaning or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most frequently on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The whole crown basically becomes a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a several secondary effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a substantially higher risk to fall even if it survived the initial storm.
