Storm Damage Tree Removal

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. 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 are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Though they are typically taken as being strong and everlasting, trees can easily end up being vulnerable in adverse weather like strong winds and storms. Violent storms and very high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience and danger it also can result in expensive repair work.

The most difficult decision following a windstorm is not specifically how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty easy. The harder decision is whether or not any of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partly injured in the storm can present a possible future hazard and may need to be disassembled and disposed of to prevent putting property and people at risk in months or years in the future.

Some other trees could be saved by being pruned back, with their most affected sections being ‘cut off’ similar to how an operating surgeon would take off a gangrenous leg. Some other may need to be staked down with guy cables or supported with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree experts can be trusted to clear away the injured trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building companies access to the building to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected properties and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of problem leads to a distinct outlook for the trees’ future survival, however making a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to overlook a small detail that may well differentiate one verdict from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

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

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, making the crown to fall or to bend violently even though the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap under the earth, resulting in the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays standing. This happens most typically on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The whole crown essentially turns into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several additional effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a substantially greater risk to fall despite the fact that it made it through the initial storm.
