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. 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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they’re often viewed as being really strong and everlasting, trees can end up being defenceless in extreme weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Violent storms and extreme winds have been seen to annihilate trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times following strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience and danger it also can lead to expensive repair work.

The hardest decision following a storm is not specifically how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty simple. The more challenging decision is whether or not some of the trees remaining standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially affected in the windstorm can present a potential future hazard and may well have to be chopped down and disposed of to avoid putting people and property at risk in several months or years in the future.

Other trees can be preserved by being pruned back, with their most damaged parts being ‘severed’ similar to how an operating surgeon might remove a gangrenous limb. Others may need to be staked down with guy wires or supported with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree professionals can be relied upon to take away the damaged trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building crews access to the building to begin repairs on the affected buildings and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of problem creates a different prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however making a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to miss a small detail that might separate one decision from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are generally six types of storm damage which a tree can’t usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, making the trees crown to come down or to lean violently while the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack beneath the earth, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This happens most often on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The complete crown essentially transforms into a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a many additional 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 much greater risk to drop even though it made it through the initial windstorm.
