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. 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.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they’re typically considered as being solid and eternal, trees may become vulnerable in extreme weather conditions such as storms and strong winds. Intense storms and extreme winds have been known to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

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

The most difficult option after a windstorm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty easy. The tougher possibility is whether some of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially affected in the windstorm might present a possible future threat and might have to be cut down and disposed of to avoid placing people and property in danger in several months or years to come.

Some other trees could be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon may remove a gangrenous limb. Others might require to get staked with guy ropes or held up with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree professionals can be relied upon to clear away the broken trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction teams access to the property to begin repairs on the damaged structures and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of damage creates a varied prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a job best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to disregard a small detail that might differentiate one conclusion from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are generally six types of storm damage that a tree can not typically stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, leading to the trees crown to fall or to lean strongly even though the lower part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap underneath the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most often on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The complete crown basically becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes 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 tree hit by lightening is typically at a substantially higher risk to fall even though it survived the initial windstorm.
