Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

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 are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they’re often considered as being strong and everlasting, trees can easily become vulnerable in adverse weather conditions such as storms and strong winds. Intense storms and very high winds have been seen to decimate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times following strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the inconvenience and danger it additionally may result in costly repairs.

The hardest option following a windstorm isn’t how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less simple. The more challenging decision is whether or not any of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been moderately harmed in the windstorm may present a potential future risk and may need to be chopped down and took out to avoid putting property & people at risk in many months or even years ahead.

Other trees may be preserved by being pruned back, with their most injured sections being ‘cut off’ much like how an operating surgeon would take off a gangrenous leg. Others will need to get staked with guy wires or held up with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree experts can be relied upon to get rid of the broken trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building and construction teams access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the affected properties and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these sorts of problem causes an unique diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to miss a small detail that might just separate one decision from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which shows that the roots also failed.

There are basically six kinds of storm damage which a tree can not normally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, leading to the crown to come down or sag violently while the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree tear under the earth, leading to the tree leaning or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays up. This occurs most often on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The whole crown effectively ends up being a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow 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 several secondary effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a very much greater risk to fall even though it made it through the original windstorm.
