Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

If you are concerned about a tree that has fallen or has been damaged from lightning or a storm, we recommend calling 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 have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they’re typically viewed as being really strong and permanent, trees can easily end up being defenceless in adverse weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and high winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it additionally may cause costly repairs.

The most difficult decision following a windstorm is not how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty easy. The more challenging possibility is whether any of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been in part affected in the storm may pose a possible future risk and may have to be cut down and took out to prevent putting people & property at risk in months or years in the future.

Other trees can be saved by being pruned back, with their worst affected sections being ‘cut off’ just like how an operating surgeon might remove a gangrenous limb. Others may require to get staked with guy ropes or supported with various 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 property, our tree contractors can be relied upon to clear away the damaged trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the construction teams access to the building to start repair work on the affected structures and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of problem causes a varied prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a prognosis is a task best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more going to miss a small detail that might just differentiate one verdict from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that reveals that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage that a tree can’t usually endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, making the trees crown to come down or to lean strongly whilst the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree snap under the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This happens most commonly on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The whole crown basically ends up being a weather vane in a windstorm, turning 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 up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a many additional effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a substantially increased danger to fall even though it endured the original storm.
