Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

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 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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are often seen as being strong and permanent, trees can certainly end up being vulnerable in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and high winds have been known to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it also can result in expensive repairs.

The most difficult option following a storm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much straightforward. The more challenging choice is if some of the trees left standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been moderately damaged in the storm can present a potential future threat and may need to be disassembled and disposed of to avoid placing property & people in danger in many months or even years to come.

Some other trees might be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘severed’ similar to how a surgeon might amputate a gangrenous limb. Others might require to be staked down with guy cables or held up with other supports until they can re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on property, our tree experts can be trusted to take away the affected trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction teams easy access to the building to begin restorations on the affected structures and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage leads to a different diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a task best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to fail to notice a small detail that may well separate one verdict from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which shows that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can’t generally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, causing the trees crown to fall or to bend violently while the lower section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree tear underneath the earth, leading to the tree bending or swinging noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This happens most commonly on trees with very lopsided crowns. The whole crown essentially ends up being a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a many 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 typically at a considerably greater risk to drop even though it made it through the original storm.
