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

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are generally taken as being sturdy and everlasting, trees can easily become defenceless in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Violent storms and extreme winds have been seen to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also can lead to expensive repair work.

The hardest decision following a storm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty easy. The more difficult decision is whether or not any of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been moderately affected in the storm may present a possible future hazard and may have to be chopped down and removed to prevent placing property and people in danger in several months or even years ahead.

Some other trees can be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked parts being ‘severed’ just like how an operating surgeon may remove a gangrenous leg. Some other may need to be staked with guy wires or held up with other supports until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree contractors can be relied upon to remove the broken trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building teams access to the property to start repair work on the damaged structures and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of problem leads to a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to disregard a small detail that might separate one decision from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.

There are generally six kinds of storm damage which a tree can not generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, causing the trees crown to come down or to angle strongly even though the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree tear under the soil, leading to the tree bending or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most commonly on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The whole crown effectively turns into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind 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 strikes have a number of additional effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a much higher risk to drop despite the fact that it made it through the initial storm.
