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

Even though they’re often considered as being really strong and eternal, trees can certainly become defenceless in extreme weather conditions such as storms and strong winds. Powerful storms and very high winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it additionally can result in costly restorations.

The most difficult decision after a storm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty easy. The more challenging decision is if some of the trees still standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been in part affected in the storm can pose a potential risk and might have to be chopped down and removed to avoid placing people and property in danger in months or years ahead.

Some other trees may be saved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how an operating surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Some other will need to be staked with guy cables or held up with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree experts can be relied upon to clear away the damaged trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building crews access to the building to begin repair work on the affected structures and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of problem results in a varied prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a prognosis is a job best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to overlook a small detail that could differentiate one conclusion from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which shows that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six kinds of storm damage which a tree can’t generally endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, making the trees crown to come down or to sag strongly while the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break under the soil, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most commonly on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The whole crown ultimately turns into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a number of additional effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a much greater danger to drop even if it survived the original storm.
