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. 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. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they are typically taken as being really durable and timeless, trees can certainly end up being vulnerable in extreme weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Violent storms and very high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it also may lead to costly renovations.

The hardest option after a storm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less easy. The more difficult choice is whether some of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partially harmed in the storm can pose a potential future risk and might have to be disassembled and took out to avoid putting people and property in danger in several months or years to come.

Some other trees can be saved by being trimmed back, with their most affected parts being ‘cut off’ exactly like how an operating surgeon might amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other will need to get staked with guy ropes or supported with other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree specialists can be relied upon to remove the affected trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction companies easy access to the building to start repairs on the affected buildings and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

All of these types of damage creates a varied prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but making a diagnosis is a task best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to miss a small detail that could separate one decision from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are essentially 6 kinds of storm damage which a tree can’t usually sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, leading to the trees crown to fall or to sag strongly whilst the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree break below the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This occurs most typically on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The full crown basically transforms into a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot of additional effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a very much higher risk to fall even if it got through the initial storm.
