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.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they’re typically taken as being really durable and eternal, trees can easily become at risk in extreme weather conditions like strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been known to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times following a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it additionally may lead to expensive repairs.

The hardest option after a windstorm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty straightforward. The tougher decision is if some of the trees still upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been moderately harmed in the storm can pose a potential threat and may need to be disassembled and removed to avoid putting people & property in danger in several months or even years to come.

Other trees maybe saved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘cut off’ exactly like how a surgeon might amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other will need to be staked with guy ropes or supported with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree specialists can be relied upon to take away the affected trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the construction crews access to the property to start repairs on the affected buildings and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of problem leads to a distinct outlook for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to overlook a small detail that might separate one decision from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six types of storm damage which a tree can’t normally endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, resulting in the crown to fall or to sag strongly while the lower part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree split beneath the earth, leading to the tree bending or swaying considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This takes place most often on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The entire crown essentially transforms 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, for now. Lightening hits have a number of secondary 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 substantially increased danger to drop even though it endured the original storm.
