Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

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. Untrained persons should never attempt to deal with a tree that has fallen because of all the objects that might be under or around it and any live power lines. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they are generally seen as being really strong and permanent, trees can easily come to be defenceless in adverse weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Fierce storms and very high winds have been known to decimate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

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

The hardest decision after a windstorm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly simple. The more challenging choice is if some of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been moderately harmed in the storm may pose a potential risk and may have to be chopped down and disposed of to prevent putting people and property in danger in months or even years to come.

Some other trees could be saved by being pruned back, with their worst injured sections being ‘cut off’ just like how a surgeon may take off a gangrenous limb. Some other will need to get staked with guy wires or supported with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on property, our tree contractors can be trusted to remove the affected trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the construction teams access to the building to start maintenance and repairs on the affected buildings and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these types of problem creates a different diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, however making a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to overlook a small detail that might just separate one verdict from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which shows that the roots also failed.

There are generally six types of storm damage which a tree can’t typically endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, resulting in the crown to come down or angle violently whilst the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap below the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This happens most frequently on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The whole crown essentially becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow 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 typically at a very much increased danger to fall despite the fact that it endured the original storm.
