Storm Damage Tree Removal

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

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they’re usually considered as being strong and permanent, trees can end up being vulnerable in adverse weather like strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

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

The most difficult decision following a storm is not how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less easy. The more difficult possibility is if some of the trees left standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been partly injured in the storm may well present a future threat and might need to be disassembled and took out to prevent putting property and people at risk in many months or years ahead.

Some other trees can be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most affected parts being ‘amputated’ similar to how a surgeon may remove a gangrenous leg. Some other may require to be staked down with guy ropes or held up with other supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree specialists can be trusted to get rid of the affected trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction companies easy access to the building to start repair work on the affected structures and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of damage creates a different prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a diagnosis is a task best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to overlook a small detail that might just differentiate one decision from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 types of storm damage which a tree can not generally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, causing the trees crown to fall or lean violently even though the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break under the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This takes place most frequently on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The complete crown essentially ends up being a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a many secondary 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 much higher risk to drop even though it got through the initial storm.
