Storm Damage Tree Removal

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. 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.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they are often viewed as being strong and permanent, trees can easily end up being defenceless in extreme weather conditions like storms and strong winds. Powerful storms and strong winds have been known to decimate trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

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

The toughest option following a storm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s more or less straightforward. The tougher choice is whether or not any of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partly damaged in the storm can pose a potential future threat and may need to be disassembled and took out to avoid putting property and people at risk in many months or even years ahead.

Some other trees could be saved by being pruned back, with their most cracked sections being ‘amputated’ exactly like how an operating surgeon will remove a gangrenous leg. Some other may require to be staked down with guy cables or supported with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on property, our tree professionals can be trusted to clear away the broken trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction crews easy access to the property to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected buildings and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these sorts of damage results in a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, however making a prognosis is a job best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to overlook a small detail that can differentiate one decision from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.

There are essentially 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can’t normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, resulting in the crown to fall or lean violently even though the lower section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree break underneath the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This happens most commonly on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The full crown basically transforms into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes 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 lightening-hit tree is always at a considerably higher danger to drop even if it made it through the original storm.
