Storm Damage Tree Removal

If you have a fallen tree, or suspect that your tree has been damaged by lightning or a storm, it is a good idea to call a certified tree surgeon. 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 Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they’re typically taken as being really solid and permanent, trees can easily come to be vulnerable in extreme weather like storms and strong winds. Powerful storms and very high winds have been seen to decimate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

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

The most difficult decision after a windstorm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less easy. The tougher choice is if any of the trees left upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been partly affected in the storm can present a future risk and may well have to be cut down and disposed of to prevent placing property & people at risk in many months or even years in the future.

Some other trees could be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured parts being ‘cut off’ just like how a surgeon would remove a gangrenous limb. Some other will require to get staked down with guy wires or supported with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree professionals can be trusted to clear away the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction teams access to the building to begin repairs on the affected buildings and power cables.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of damage creates a varied diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but making a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to overlook a small detail that might differentiate one verdict from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.

There are essentially 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can not normally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, leading to the crown to fall or to lean strongly even though the lower section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break underneath the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most commonly on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The entire crown ultimately transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a considerably higher danger to drop even if it endured the original storm.
