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 Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re generally considered as being durable and eternal, trees can certainly come to be vulnerable in extreme weather such as storms and strong winds. Intense storms and high winds have been seen to decimate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the danger and inconvenience it also may result in expensive repair work.

The toughest option after a storm is not specifically how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less straightforward. The tougher choice is whether or not any of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been in part injured in the windstorm may well present a potential future hazard and may well have to be cut down and disposed of to avoid placing property and people at risk in many months or years ahead.

Some other trees may be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most damaged parts being ‘severed’ much like how an operating surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other might need to be staked with guy ropes or supported with additional supports until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree experts can be trusted to take away the affected trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the property to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected structures and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of problem creates a different prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a prognosis is a task best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to disregard a small detail that may well differentiate one verdict from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, causing the trees crown to come down or angle violently even though the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split under the earth, leading to the tree bending or swaying significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most typically on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The entire crown effectively turns into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a lot of additional effects like 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 very much higher risk to drop even if it endured the original windstorm.
