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. Untrained persons should never attempt to deal with a tree that has fallen because of all the objects that might be under or around it and any live power lines. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they are generally considered as being really strong and everlasting, trees can become at risk in adverse weather such as strong winds and storms. Violent storms and strong winds have been known to decimate trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

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

The hardest decision following a storm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much simple. The more difficult decision is whether or not some of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partially affected in the storm may present a potential threat and might have to be chopped down and disposed of to avoid placing people & property in danger in many months or years to come.

Other trees maybe preserved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘cut off’ just like how an operating surgeon will remove a gangrenous leg. Some other might need to be staked with guy ropes or held up with various 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 land on premises, our tree contractors can be relied upon to take away the injured trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building and construction companies easy access to the property to start repair work on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of problem results in a different diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to miss a small detail that may differentiate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that signifies that the roots also failed.

There are essentially 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can not typically endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, leading to the crown to come down or sag violently even though the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split below the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays standing. This takes place most often on trees with very lopsided crowns. The complete crown essentially ends up being a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a much increased risk to fall despite the fact that it got through the original storm.
