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. Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re often taken as being sturdy and eternal, trees can easily end up being vulnerable in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and very high winds have been known to decimate trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it also will result in costly renovations.

The most difficult option following a storm isn’t how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty simple. The more challenging decision is whether some of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partially affected in the storm may well present a possible future threat and might have to be chopped down and disposed of to avoid placing property and people at risk in several months or years in the future.

Other trees maybe conserved by being trimmed back, with their most injured parts being ‘cut off’ just like how a surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Others will need to be staked with guy cables or supported with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree specialists can be relied upon to take away the affected trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction companies access to the building to start restorations on the damaged properties and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these types of damage causes an unique diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, however making a prognosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to fail to notice a small detail that may well separate one conclusion from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that signifies that the roots also failed.

There are generally six forms of storm damage that a tree can not generally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, leading to the crown to come down or angle strongly whilst the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree crack beneath the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swaying dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most often on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The entire crown ultimately turns into a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of secondary 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 typically at a substantially greater risk to drop even though it got through the initial storm.
