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 individuals should not attempt to deal with a fallen tree as there are many objects that could be trapped underneath or around the tree, as well as any live power lines. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they are generally viewed as being strong and permanent, trees can certainly end up being vulnerable in adverse weather such as strong winds & storms. Violent storms and extreme winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it also may cause costly repairs.

The hardest decision after a windstorm isn’t how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty much simple. The tougher choice is whether or not any of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partially affected in the windstorm may present a possible future hazard and may need to be cut down and removed to prevent putting people & property in danger in several months or even years to come.

Some other trees could be preserved by being pruned back, with their most injured sections being ‘severed’ much like how a surgeon would take off a gangrenous leg. Some other will need to be staked with guy ropes or supported with other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree professionals can be trusted to clear away the broken trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the construction companies easy access to the building to start repairs on the affected properties and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these sorts of problem leads to a different prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however making a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to disregard a small detail that may well differentiate one verdict from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which suggests that the roots also snapped.

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

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, leading to the crown to fall or to sag strongly while the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break below the earth, leading to the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays standing. This happens most often on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The full crown essentially transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a many additional effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a much increased danger to fall even if it endured the original windstorm.
