Storm Damage Tree Removal

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. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they’re typically taken as being durable and permanent, trees may become at risk in extreme weather such as storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times following strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also may cause costly renovations.

The hardest option following a windstorm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less easy. The harder choice is if any of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been moderately damaged in the windstorm can present a possible future threat and may well have to be cut down and took away to avoid placing property & people at risk in months or even years ahead.

Other trees may be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected sections being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon might remove a gangrenous leg. Others will need to get staked down with guy wires or held up with additional supports until they can re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree contractors can be relied upon to get rid of the broken trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building companies easy access to the property to begin restorations on the affected properties and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Every one of these sorts of damage causes a different outlook for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to overlook a small detail that could differentiate one decision from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which shows that the roots also failed.

There are generally six sorts of storm damage which a tree can not generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, causing the crown to come down or angle strongly even though the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split beneath the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays standing. This takes place most commonly on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The full crown basically turns into a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of additional effects such as 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 considerably increased danger to fall even if it made it through the original windstorm.
