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

Despite the fact that they are typically seen as being really sturdy and permanent, trees may end up being defenceless in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Intense storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it also will cause expensive restorations.

The hardest decision after a storm isn’t how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less straightforward. The harder choice is whether or not some of the trees remaining standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been in part harmed in the windstorm might present a possible 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 can be preserved by being pruned back, with their most injured parts being ‘severed’ similar to how an operating surgeon would remove a gangrenous leg. Some other may need to be staked down with guy ropes or supported with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree experts can be relied upon to get rid of the broken trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the construction crews access to the property to start repairs on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage creates a distinct prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a task best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to fail to notice a small detail that could differentiate one decision from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six kinds of storm damage which a tree can’t normally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, leading to the crown to fall or to angle strongly even though the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree snap under the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most often on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The full crown ultimately ends up being a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a several secondary effects like 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 considerably higher risk to fall even though it made it through the initial windstorm.
