Storm Damage Tree Removal

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.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Though they are usually viewed as being solid and eternal, trees can certainly become at risk in adverse weather like storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and very high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it additionally can cause expensive renovations.

The toughest decision following a storm isn’t how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly simple. The more difficult decision is whether some of the trees remaining standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially harmed in the windstorm may present a potential future risk and might have to be disassembled and took out to prevent putting people and property at risk in many months or even years ahead.

Some other trees could be saved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked sections being ‘cut off’ exactly like how a surgeon may take off a gangrenous leg. Some other may need to be staked down with guy wires or supported with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree contractors can be trusted to get rid of the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction companies easy access to the property to begin maintenance and repairs on the damaged structures and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of damage creates a distinct outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however making a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to disregard a small detail that might just differentiate one verdict from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that reveals that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can’t normally endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, causing the trees crown to come down or to angle violently even though the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack below the earth, leading to the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This happens most often on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The complete crown essentially ends up being a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a considerably greater danger to fall despite the fact that it survived the initial windstorm.
