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

Even though they are generally considered as being really durable and everlasting, trees can certainly end up being defenceless in adverse weather like strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and strong winds have been seen to wipe out trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times following strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it additionally will cause costly repair work.

The most difficult decision after a storm is not how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less easy. The harder decision is whether any of the trees left standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially damaged in the storm might present a future risk and may well have to be disassembled and took away to prevent placing people & property at risk in many months or even years in the future.

Other trees could be conserved by being pruned back, with their worst affected parts being ‘cut off’ just like how an operating surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other might need to be staked down with guy ropes or supported with other supports until they are able to 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 relied upon to take away the injured trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building and construction crews access to the property to begin restorations on the affected structures and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of damage leads to an unique prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to miss a small detail that could separate one decision from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six types of storm damage that a tree can not usually endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, causing the trees crown to fall or to angle strongly while the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split under the ground, leading to the tree leaning or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most commonly on trees with very lopsided crowns. The entire crown basically transforms into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• 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 such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a substantially increased risk to fall even if it endured the original storm.
