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.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they’re often viewed as being solid and permanent, trees can become at risk in extreme weather like strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and strong winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times following a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it also will lead to expensive renovations.

The most difficult option after a storm is not how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly simple. The more challenging choice is whether some of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been moderately damaged in the windstorm may present a potential future hazard and might need to be disassembled and removed to prevent placing people and property at risk in several months or even years in the future.

Other trees maybe saved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘cut off’ much like how an operating surgeon might remove a gangrenous leg. Others will need to get staked with guy cables or supported with other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree contractors can be trusted to remove the broken trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the construction crews access to the property to begin maintenance and repairs on the damaged properties and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of damage results in a distinct prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but making a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to fail to notice a small detail that might just separate one conclusion from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six types of storm damage that a tree can’t generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, causing the crown to come down or to lean strongly even though the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split below the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This takes place most frequently on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The whole crown basically turns into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a many additional 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 always at a substantially increased risk to fall even if it survived the original windstorm.
