Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

If you have and fallen trees or any damaged trees from a storm or lightning, you should call a qualified 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

Despite the fact that they are typically seen as being really durable and permanent, trees can end up being vulnerable in adverse weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Violent storms and very high winds have been known to annihilate trees and tear even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

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

The hardest decision following a windstorm is not how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much easy. The harder decision is if any of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partly harmed in the windstorm can present a potential future hazard and may well have to be cut down and took away to prevent placing people and property at risk in many months or even years in the future.

Some other trees maybe saved by being pruned back, with their worst injured parts being ‘cut off’ just like how an operating surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Others will require to be staked down with guy wires or supported with other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree professionals can be trusted to clear away the damaged trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the construction crews access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged properties and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of problem leads to a different outlook for the trees’ future survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to miss a small detail that may separate one decision from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six kinds of storm damage which a tree can not generally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, making the trees crown to come down or lean violently even though the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear underneath the earth, leading to 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 rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most often on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The whole crown effectively turns into a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of additional effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a very much higher danger to drop even if it made it through the original windstorm.
