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. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and 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. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they’re typically taken as being really solid and everlasting, trees may become defenceless in extreme weather such as storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and extreme winds have been known to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after 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 will lead to costly renovations.

The hardest option after a storm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less simple. The harder choice is if any of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partially damaged in the storm may pose a potential risk and may have to be disassembled and disposed of to prevent placing people & property at risk in several months or even years to come.

Other trees can be preserved by being pruned back, with their most cracked sections being ‘amputated’ much like how an operating surgeon would amputate a gangrenous leg. Others will need to get staked down with guy wires or held up with various other supports until they can re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on property, our tree professionals can be relied upon to get rid of the injured trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building companies easy access to the property to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected structures and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of damage creates a different diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to fail to notice a small detail that can differentiate one decision from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that indicates that the roots also failed.

There are generally six forms of storm damage that a tree can’t typically sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, resulting in the crown to come down or bend strongly whilst the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break below the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swaying considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most frequently on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The entire crown effectively transforms into a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a several secondary 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 considerably increased risk to fall even though it survived the initial storm.
