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. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they’re generally considered as being really strong and permanent, trees can come to be at risk in extreme weather such as strong winds & storms. Intense storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

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

The toughest option following a storm is not how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much straightforward. The harder decision is whether any of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been moderately harmed in the windstorm can pose a potential future hazard and might need to be chopped down and disposed of to avoid placing people & property at risk in many months or even years to come.

Other trees may be saved by being trimmed back, with their most injured parts being ‘severed’ much like how an operating surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Others might need to get staked down with guy cables or supported with other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree specialists can be relied upon to clear away the injured trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building crews easy access to the building to begin repairs on the affected structures and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of damage creates an unique prognosis for the trees’ future survival, however making a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to overlook a small detail that might differentiate one conclusion from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which suggests that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six types of storm damage which a tree can’t normally endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, causing the trees crown to fall or to bend strongly even though the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree split beneath the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most typically on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The whole crown essentially becomes a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow 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 hits have a several additional effects including 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 higher risk to drop even if it survived the initial windstorm.
