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 have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they are often seen as being really sturdy and everlasting, trees may end up being vulnerable in extreme weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and very high winds have been known to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it also may result in costly restorations.

The hardest decision following a windstorm is not specifically how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty much straightforward. The harder decision is whether any of the trees left upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been partly harmed in the storm might pose a potential future hazard and may have to be chopped down and disposed of to avoid placing people and property in danger in months or even years in the future.

Some other trees may be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked sections being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Others might need to get staked down with guy cables or supported with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

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

Different Types Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of damage causes a distinct prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to disregard a small detail that could separate one conclusion from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six types of storm damage which a tree can not typically sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, leading to the crown to fall or to sag violently while the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree tear below the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This occurs most commonly on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The entire crown essentially becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a many 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 substantially increased risk to drop even if it made it through the original storm.
