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

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they’re often viewed as being really sturdy and permanent, trees can become vulnerable in extreme weather conditions such as storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and strong winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from 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 about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also can lead to expensive repair work.

The hardest option after a storm is not how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that’s fairly simple. The more challenging decision is whether or not some of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been in part damaged in the storm might present a potential risk and may well need to be chopped down and removed to avoid placing property and people at risk in several months or even years to come.

Some other trees might be saved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘severed’ similar to how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other may need to be staked with guy cables or supported with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree specialists can be relied upon to take away the broken trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building crews access to the property to start repair work on the affected buildings and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of damage creates a different prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to overlook a small detail that may differentiate one verdict from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six forms of storm damage which a tree can not usually sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, resulting in the trees crown to come down or to bend violently even though the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break under the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This happens most commonly on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The complete crown effectively transforms into a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a considerably higher risk to drop even though it got through the original storm.
