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.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are often taken as being durable and eternal, trees may end up being at risk in adverse weather like strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and high winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience and danger it also will lead to expensive repairs.

The toughest decision following a windstorm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly easy. The more difficult decision is whether or not any of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly damaged in the windstorm might present a possible future risk and may well need to be chopped down and took out to avoid placing property and people in danger in months or years in the future.

Some other trees can be conserved by being pruned back, with their most cracked parts being ‘cut off’ similar to how a surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other may require to be staked with guy cables or supported with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree professionals can be relied upon to take away the damaged trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the property to start repair work on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

All of these types of problem creates a different prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to miss a small detail that might just separate one decision from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that reveals that the roots also failed.

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

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, causing the crown to come down or to bend violently even though the lower section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree tear below the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This takes place most typically on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The full crown essentially transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a number of additional effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a considerably higher risk to drop despite the fact that it survived the initial windstorm.
