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. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they are typically viewed as being durable and permanent, trees can easily end up being at risk in adverse weather like strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been known to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it also can cause expensive repairs.

The most difficult decision after a windstorm is not how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much easy. The harder possibility is whether any of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partially affected in the storm can pose a potential hazard and may need to be chopped down and took out to avoid placing property & people in danger in several months or years in the future.

Other trees may be conserved by being trimmed back, with their most affected sections being ‘cut off’ similar to how an operating surgeon might remove a gangrenous leg. Others will need to be staked with guy wires or supported with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on property, our tree contractors can be relied upon to get rid of the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction crews access to the property to start restorations on the affected properties and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of problem causes a different prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to fail to notice a small detail that could differentiate one conclusion from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.

There are generally six types of storm damage that a tree can’t typically sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, causing the trees crown to fall or to sag strongly even though the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree snap underneath the earth, resulting in the tree bending or swinging considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most often on trees with very lopsided crowns. The full crown essentially becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a number of additional 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 typically at a much higher risk to drop even though it endured the initial storm.
