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. 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.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are typically viewed as being really sturdy and permanent, trees can come to be vulnerable in adverse weather like storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and high winds have been known to decimate trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

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

The hardest decision after a storm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty much simple. The tougher possibility is whether any of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been moderately injured in the storm may well pose a future risk and might need to be cut down and took out to prevent placing people and property in danger in several months or years in the future.

Other trees might be conserved by being pruned back, with their most cracked parts being ‘cut off’ similar to how a surgeon may amputate a gangrenous limb. Others might need to be staked down with guy ropes 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 fall on premises, our tree professionals can be relied upon to get rid of the injured trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building and construction companies access to the property to start repair work on the affected structures and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of damage leads to an unique diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, however forming a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to fail to notice a small detail that might just differentiate one decision from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 types of storm damage that a tree can not generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, making the trees crown to fall or to angle violently while the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree snap underneath the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This happens most frequently on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The whole crown basically turns into a weathervane in a storm, twisting 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 up, for now. Lightening strikes have a many additional effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a much higher danger to fall despite the fact that it got through the initial storm.
