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. 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.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they are usually seen as being strong and everlasting, trees can certainly end up being at risk in adverse weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Violent storms and strong winds have been known to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it also will lead to costly renovations.

The hardest option after a windstorm is not specifically how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that’s fairly simple. The tougher decision is whether or not some of the trees still upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been partially damaged in the windstorm may present a possible future risk and might need to be chopped down and removed to prevent placing people and property at risk in months or years ahead.

Other trees may be saved by being pruned back, with their worst damaged parts being ‘severed’ much like how a surgeon might remove a gangrenous limb. Others may need to be staked with guy wires or held up with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree experts can be trusted to clear away the affected trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building and construction companies easy access to the property to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected buildings and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of problem results in a varied diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to miss a small detail that can separate one decision from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six types of storm damage which a tree can’t usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, making the crown to fall or sag violently even though the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap beneath the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most typically on trees with very lopsided crowns. The complete crown essentially transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of secondary effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a very much increased danger to fall even if it got through the initial windstorm.
