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. 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. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are usually viewed as being really solid and timeless, trees can certainly end up being vulnerable in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Powerful storms and extreme winds have been seen to wipe out trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it also can cause expensive restorations.

The hardest option following a storm isn’t how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much straightforward. The tougher choice is whether some of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been moderately damaged in the windstorm may pose a future hazard and might have to be disassembled and removed to prevent placing people and property in danger in months or even years in the future.

Other trees can be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected sections being ‘amputated’ exactly like how an operating surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Others may need to be staked with guy wires or supported with various other supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on property, our tree experts can be trusted to take away the affected trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the construction companies access to the property to begin repair work on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of damage creates an unique outlook for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a prognosis is a task best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to overlook a small detail that can separate one decision from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six types of storm damage which a tree can not usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, resulting in the crown to come down or lean strongly even though the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree split beneath the soil, leading to the tree pitching or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This takes place most typically on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The entire crown effectively becomes a weather vane in a storm, twisting 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 standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of additional effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a much higher risk to drop despite the fact that it survived the original windstorm.
