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.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they’re often taken as being really durable and everlasting, trees can become at risk in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Violent storms and very high winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

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

The most difficult option after a windstorm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less simple. The more challenging decision is if any of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partly damaged in the windstorm might pose a potential future risk and might have to be disassembled and took out to prevent placing people & property at risk in months or years in the future.

Other trees may be saved by being pruned back, with their worst damaged parts being ‘cut off’ exactly like how an operating surgeon may remove a gangrenous limb. Some other will need to get staked down with guy ropes or supported with additional supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree specialists can be relied upon to clear away the affected trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the construction crews access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the affected properties and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of damage leads to a different prognosis for the trees’ future survival, however making a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to overlook a small detail that might differentiate one conclusion from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that indicates that the roots also failed.

There are generally 6 kinds of storm damage that a tree can not generally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, making the trees crown to come down or to angle violently while the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack beneath the ground, leading to the tree leaning or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most commonly on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The full crown essentially transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot of additional effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a substantially increased risk to drop even if it survived the initial windstorm.
