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.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they’re usually considered as being really strong and permanent, trees can come to be at risk in adverse weather like strong winds and storms. Violent storms and very high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience & danger it additionally can cause costly renovations.

The toughest option after a windstorm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty simple. The more challenging decision is whether or not some of the trees left standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been moderately injured in the windstorm may well pose a potential hazard and may need to be disassembled and took out to prevent placing people and property at risk in several months or even years ahead.

Other trees maybe saved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked parts being ‘amputated’ much like how an operating surgeon might remove a gangrenous limb. Some other might need to be staked with guy ropes or held up with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree professionals can be trusted to remove the broken trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building crews easy access to the property to begin restorations on the affected buildings and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of problem creates an unique outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however making a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to miss a small detail that could separate one decision from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that signifies that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can not normally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, leading to the trees crown to fall or to bend violently while the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split under the ground, leading to the tree bending or swaying significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This takes place most typically on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The whole crown basically becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting 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 standing, for now. Lightening hits have a number of additional effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a considerably higher risk to drop even if it made it through the initial windstorm.
