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. 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.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Though they are typically seen as being really strong and everlasting, trees may become at risk in extreme weather such as storms & strong winds. Violent storms and high winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times following a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it additionally will cause costly renovations.

The toughest decision after a windstorm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty much straightforward. The harder decision is whether or not any of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partly harmed in the windstorm may well pose a potential threat and may well have to be chopped down and removed to avoid placing people & property at risk in months or years ahead.

Other trees could be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most damaged sections being ‘cut off’ similar to how a surgeon will remove a gangrenous leg. Some other may require to be staked with guy cables or supported with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree contractors can be trusted to remove the damaged trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the construction teams easy access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged structures and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

All of these types of damage causes a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but making a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more going to overlook a small detail that might just separate one conclusion from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that indicates that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage that a tree can not generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, causing the crown to fall or bend violently even though the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split under the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This happens most typically on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The whole crown essentially turns into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a number of additional effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a very much higher risk to drop even if it made it through the original windstorm.
