Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. 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.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

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

How many times soon after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also may result in costly repair work.

The toughest decision following a storm is not how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less easy. The more difficult possibility is whether some of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partially damaged in the storm might pose a potential future hazard and may have to be chopped down and took out to avoid putting people and property at risk in months or years to come.

Other trees could be conserved by being trimmed back, with their most affected parts being ‘amputated’ exactly like how an operating surgeon will remove a gangrenous leg. Some other might require to be staked down with guy cables or held up with various other supports until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree specialists can be trusted to remove the affected trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the construction crews access to the property to begin maintenance and repairs on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of damage causes a varied diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more going to miss a small detail that could separate one conclusion from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that shows that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage that a tree can not generally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, resulting in the crown to come down or to sag strongly whilst the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree crack below the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most often on trees with very lopsided crowns. The whole crown essentially ends up being a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. 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 tree hit by lightening is always at a considerably greater risk to drop despite the fact that it got through the original storm.
