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.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they are often seen as being strong and everlasting, trees can become vulnerable in extreme weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and high winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

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

The hardest option following a storm isn’t how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much simple. The more challenging choice is if any of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partially injured in the windstorm can present a potential future hazard and might have to be disassembled and removed to avoid placing property and people at risk in several months or even years ahead.

Some other trees might be saved by being pruned back, with their most damaged sections being ‘cut off’ much like how a surgeon may amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other might require to get staked with guy cables or supported with various other supports up until they are able to 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 get rid of the damaged trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the construction teams easy access to the building to begin repairs on the damaged properties and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of damage results in a varied prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more going to fail to notice a small detail that might just differentiate one conclusion from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can not usually endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, causing the trees crown to come down or sag violently even though the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree snap under the soil, leading to the tree pitching or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most typically on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The complete crown basically ends up being a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a many secondary effects such as 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 higher risk to drop even if it made it through the original windstorm.
