Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and 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 have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they’re generally viewed as being really strong and timeless, trees can become defenceless in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Intense storms and extreme winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times following a storm have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it additionally will lead to expensive restorations.

The hardest decision following a storm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less easy. The tougher decision is whether or not any of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partially harmed in the windstorm can pose a possible future hazard and might have to be chopped down and removed to prevent putting people and property in danger in months or years to come.

Some other trees can be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘severed’ similar to how an operating surgeon may remove a gangrenous limb. Others will require to get staked with guy cables or held up with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

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

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of problem results in a distinct outlook for the trees’ future survival, but making a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to disregard a small detail that can separate one conclusion from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage that a tree can’t typically sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, making the crown to fall or lean violently even though the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree tear underneath the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swinging dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most often on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The whole crown basically turns into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which 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 number of secondary effects including 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 substantially higher risk to fall even though it endured the initial windstorm.
