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. Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they are often taken as being really sturdy and eternal, trees can certainly become defenceless in extreme weather such as storms and strong winds. Violent storms and strong winds have been seen to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

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

The toughest option following a storm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly straightforward. The more challenging decision is whether or not some of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been in part harmed in the windstorm might present a potential hazard and may well need to be disassembled and disposed of to avoid placing people and property in danger in months or even years in the future.

Other trees maybe saved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how a surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Others may need to be staked with guy ropes or supported with additional supports until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree contractors can be relied upon to clear away the broken trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building crews access to the building to begin repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of problem causes a different prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to fail to notice a small detail that can separate one decision from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six types of storm damage that a tree can’t normally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, leading to the crown to fall or sag strongly while the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree tear under the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This occurs most typically on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The whole crown basically turns into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a many secondary effects including 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 made it through the initial windstorm.
