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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they are usually seen as being really durable and timeless, trees can easily come to be vulnerable in adverse weather conditions like strong winds & storms. Powerful storms and strong winds have been known to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

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

The most difficult decision after a windstorm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty straightforward. The tougher possibility is whether any of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been moderately injured in the windstorm can present a potential threat and might need to be cut down and removed to avoid putting people and property at risk in months or years in the future.

Some other trees might be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected parts being ‘cut off’ exactly like how an operating surgeon would take off a gangrenous limb. Some other might need to get staked down with guy cables or supported with additional supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree contractors can be relied upon to get rid of the damaged trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building crews access to the building to start repair work on the affected properties and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of problem results in a varied prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to fail to notice a small detail that can differentiate one conclusion from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 kinds of storm damage which a tree can’t normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, leading to the trees crown to come down or to angle strongly even though the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree break beneath the soil, leading to the tree pitching or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This happens most often on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The whole crown basically becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a number of secondary effects including 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 much greater danger to fall even if it endured the original windstorm.
