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. 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. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they are generally taken as being really solid and eternal, trees may become at risk in extreme weather such as storms & strong winds. Fierce storms and high winds have been known to annihilate trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also may cause expensive renovations.

The most difficult option following a windstorm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty easy. The tougher possibility is if some of the trees left upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partly damaged in the storm might pose a possible future threat and may need to be disassembled and took away to prevent placing people and property in danger in several months or even years ahead.

Some other trees might be conserved by being pruned back, with their most cracked sections being ‘amputated’ similar to how an operating surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Some other might require to be staked down with guy ropes or held up with various other supports until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree professionals can be trusted to clear away the injured trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building teams access to the building to begin repair work on the affected properties and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of problem leads to an unique diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to miss a small detail that can differentiate one conclusion from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that reveals that the roots also failed.

There are essentially 6 kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t usually endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, leading to the trees crown to come down or to angle violently whilst the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree crack under the soil, resulting in the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most often on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The full crown basically turns into a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a many secondary effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a considerably increased risk to drop even though it got through the original storm.
