Storm Damage Tree Removal

If you have and fallen trees or any damaged trees from a storm or lightning, you should call 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.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Though they are generally seen as being really solid and permanent, trees can become at risk in extreme weather like storms & strong winds. Fierce storms and very high winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times following strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it also can cause costly repairs.

The hardest decision after a windstorm is not specifically how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty easy. The tougher possibility is whether some of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partially harmed in the storm may well present a potential threat and might have to be chopped down and removed to avoid putting property and people at risk in many months or even years in the future.

Other trees can be saved by being pruned back, with their most cracked sections being ‘amputated’ just like how an operating surgeon would take off a gangrenous limb. Others will need to be staked down with guy cables or supported with other supports up 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 relied upon to take away the injured trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building crews access to the building to begin maintenance and repairs on the damaged properties and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of damage leads to a varied prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to miss a small detail that might differentiate one conclusion from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can not usually endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, causing the trees crown to fall or to bend violently while the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap beneath the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swinging considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays standing. This takes place most commonly on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The full crown effectively becomes a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a several additional effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a considerably increased danger to drop even though it survived the initial storm.
