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.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they’re typically considered as being really strong and eternal, trees can easily end up being defenceless in extreme weather like strong winds & storms. Intense storms and strong winds have been seen to annihilate trees and tear even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times following a storm have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger and inconvenience it also can cause expensive repairs.

The hardest decision after a storm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly easy. The tougher choice is if any of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been moderately harmed in the windstorm might present a potential future risk and may well need to be cut down and took away to avoid putting property & people at risk in months or years in the future.

Other trees might be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected parts being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon would remove a gangrenous limb. Others will need to get staked down with guy cables or held up with other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree contractors can be relied upon to get rid of the damaged trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building and construction companies access to the building to begin repairs on the damaged properties and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of problem leads to a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, however making a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to overlook a small detail that could differentiate one decision from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that reveals that the roots also failed.

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

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, leading to the trees crown to come down or to lean strongly even though the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break underneath the earth, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This happens most typically on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The full crown effectively becomes a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a several 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 much higher danger to fall even if it made it through the initial windstorm.
