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 individuals should not attempt to 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.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are usually viewed as being really strong and everlasting, trees can easily come to be at risk in extreme weather such as storms & strong winds. Intense storms and very high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

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

The hardest decision following a windstorm isn’t how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much straightforward. The more difficult choice is whether any of the trees left upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been in part damaged in the windstorm may pose a possible future risk and may need to be cut down and took out to prevent putting property & people in danger in many months or even years ahead.

Other trees can be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured parts being ‘cut off’ much like how a surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Others may need to be staked with guy ropes or supported with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on property, our tree contractors can be relied upon to remove the broken trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the construction crews access to the property to start restorations on the damaged structures and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of problem leads to a distinct outlook for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to fail to notice a small detail that can differentiate one decision from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can’t usually sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, leading to the trees crown to fall or to bend strongly while the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree split below the earth, leading to the tree bending or swaying significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most typically on trees with very lopsided crowns. The entire crown basically transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a many 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 always at a substantially higher risk to fall despite the fact that it endured the original windstorm.
