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.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they’re typically considered as being really strong and permanent, trees can become vulnerable in adverse weather such as storms and strong winds. Violent storms and extreme winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also will result in costly restorations.

The hardest option after a windstorm isn’t how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s more or less straightforward. The more challenging possibility is whether or not any of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been in part harmed in the storm may well present a future threat and may well need to be chopped down and disposed of to prevent putting people & property at risk in many months or years in the future.

Some other trees could be saved by being pruned back, with their most damaged parts being ‘amputated’ exactly like how an operating surgeon may take off a gangrenous leg. Others will require to be staked 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 premises, our tree experts can be trusted to take away the broken trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the construction crews easy access to the property to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected buildings and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

All of these types of damage leads to a different diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more going to overlook a small detail that may well separate one conclusion from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six forms 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, leading to the crown to fall or sag strongly while the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear under the earth, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This occurs most typically on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The whole crown effectively turns into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of 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 typically at a much greater risk to drop despite the fact that it got through the initial storm.
