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. Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they are often taken as being solid and permanent, trees can certainly end up being vulnerable in extreme weather like storms and strong winds. Violent storms and strong winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

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

The toughest decision following a storm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less easy. The more challenging choice is whether some of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly affected in the storm might pose a potential threat and might have to be disassembled and took out to prevent putting property and people in danger in several months or even years in the future.

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

If a storm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree professionals can be trusted to clear away the broken trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction crews access to the building to start repairs on the affected structures and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

All of these types of problem leads to an unique prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to miss a small detail that could differentiate one conclusion from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six types of storm damage which a tree can not typically sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, causing the trees crown to fall or lean violently whilst the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree crack under the soil, resulting in the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This occurs most frequently on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The whole crown effectively ends up being a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of secondary effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a considerably greater risk to drop even though it made it through the initial storm.
