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. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and 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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Though they’re often taken as being really solid and timeless, trees may become at risk in extreme weather like strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and strong winds have been seen to wipe out trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it also may result in expensive restorations.

The hardest decision following a windstorm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty much simple. The more challenging choice is whether or not any of the trees still upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been partly injured in the storm might pose a possible future hazard and might need to be disassembled and removed to avoid putting property & people at risk in months or even years ahead.

Some other trees can be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected parts being ‘amputated’ similar to how an operating surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Others will need to get staked down with guy ropes or supported with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree specialists can be trusted to clear away the affected trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building companies access to the building to start restorations on the affected buildings and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of damage results in a different diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a task best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to miss a small detail that may well differentiate one conclusion from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that suggests that the roots also failed.

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

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, resulting in the crown to come down or to bend violently while the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree crack beneath the earth, leading to the tree bending or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most frequently on trees with very lopsided crowns. The entire crown essentially becomes a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a number of additional 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 very much increased risk to drop despite the fact that it survived the original storm.
