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. 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 are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Though they’re typically viewed as being really durable and everlasting, trees can end up being defenceless in adverse weather conditions like strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and strong winds have been seen to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

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

The most difficult option after a windstorm is not how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty straightforward. The harder decision is whether any of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been moderately damaged in the storm may well pose a future hazard and may have to be chopped down and took away to avoid placing people & property in danger in several months or years in the future.

Some other trees can be conserved by being trimmed back, with their most damaged sections being ‘severed’ similar to how an operating surgeon may amputate a gangrenous limb. Others will need to get staked down with guy wires or supported with other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree experts can be relied upon to remove the affected trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building companies access to the building to start restorations on the affected buildings and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these sorts of problem results in an unique diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but making a diagnosis is a task best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to fail to notice a small detail that might just differentiate one conclusion from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which shows that the roots also failed.

There are generally six sorts of storm damage which a tree can’t generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, causing the crown to fall or to sag strongly whilst the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree tear underneath the earth, resulting in the tree bending or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This takes place most often on trees with very lopsided crowns. The full crown essentially becomes a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes 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 tree hit by lightening is typically at a considerably higher risk to drop even if it survived the initial storm.
