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. Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Though they are typically viewed as being solid and timeless, trees can certainly become at risk in adverse weather such as storms and strong winds. Powerful storms and strong winds have been seen to annihilate trees and tear even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also will cause expensive repair work.

The most difficult option after a storm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less simple. The tougher possibility is whether some of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partly harmed in the storm can pose a potential future risk and may need to be cut down and removed to prevent putting property & people at risk in months or even years in the future.

Some other trees might be conserved by being pruned back, with their most injured parts being ‘amputated’ much like how an operating surgeon would remove a gangrenous limb. Some other will need to be staked down with guy ropes or supported with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree professionals can be relied upon to get rid of the broken trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building and construction teams access to the building to begin repairs on the affected structures and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of damage results in a different prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to fail to notice a small detail that might just differentiate one conclusion from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six forms of storm damage that a tree can not normally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, leading to the trees crown to fall or sag violently even though the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split below the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most often on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The entire crown ultimately turns into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a many secondary effects like 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 substantially greater risk to drop even if it made it through the original storm.
