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 they are often seen as being durable and everlasting, trees can become defenceless in extreme weather conditions such as storms & strong winds. Intense storms and high winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it also will result in expensive repairs.

The toughest option following a windstorm is not specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty straightforward. The tougher possibility is if any of the trees still upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been in part affected in the storm can present a potential future hazard and may well need to be cut down and took out to prevent placing property and people at risk in months or years in the future.

Some other trees might be saved by being pruned back, with their most affected parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how an operating surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other may need to get staked down with guy cables or supported with 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 fall on buildings, our tree experts can be relied upon to remove the broken trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building crews access to the property to begin restorations on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of damage creates a different diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to miss a small detail that may differentiate one decision from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that shows that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 types of storm damage that a tree can not generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, making the trees crown to fall or to sag strongly whilst the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack below the soil, resulting in the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most frequently on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The whole crown effectively transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. 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 typically at a very much greater risk to drop even if it endured the initial storm.
