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. 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. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they’re often considered as being really solid and permanent, trees can easily come to be vulnerable in adverse weather like storms & strong winds. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times following a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger and inconvenience it additionally can cause expensive repair work.

The hardest decision after a windstorm is not how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty easy. The harder choice is whether or not some of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly affected in the storm may well present a potential hazard and may well need to be chopped down and disposed of to avoid putting property and people in danger in many months or even years in the future.

Some other trees might be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most damaged parts being ‘severed’ much like how an operating surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Others will need to be staked down with guy ropes or supported with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree contractors can be relied upon to get rid of the affected trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the property to begin restorations on the affected structures and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of problem leads to a distinct prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to overlook a small detail that could separate one conclusion from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage which a tree can not normally endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, leading to the trees crown to fall or angle strongly whilst the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree tear below the soil, leading to the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays up. This happens most often on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The entire crown basically becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a several secondary effects including 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 much higher danger to fall despite the fact that it got through the original storm.
