Storm Damage Tree Removal

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. Untrained individuals should not attempt to 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 are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they are often viewed as being strong and everlasting, trees can easily come to be at risk in extreme weather such as storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and high winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

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

The most difficult option following a storm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much simple. The tougher decision is whether any of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partially injured in the windstorm may well pose a future hazard and might have to be disassembled and disposed of to avoid putting property & people in danger in months or even years in the future.

Some other trees maybe conserved by being trimmed back, with their most damaged sections being ‘cut off’ just like how an operating surgeon may take off a gangrenous leg. Some other might need to be staked down with guy cables or supported with various other supports until they can re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree contractors can be relied upon to get rid of the affected trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building teams access to the property to begin repair work on the affected buildings and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

All of these types of problem leads to a varied outlook for the trees’ future survival, but making a diagnosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to miss a small detail that might just differentiate one conclusion from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage which a tree can’t normally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, resulting in the crown to come down or bend strongly even though the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree tear underneath the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• 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 becomes a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a several additional effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a much higher risk to fall despite the fact that it made it through the initial windstorm.
