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.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they’re generally seen as being solid and everlasting, trees may end up being vulnerable in extreme weather such as strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and very high winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it also can lead to costly repair work.

The most difficult option after a storm is not specifically how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much easy. The harder choice is whether any of the trees left upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been moderately injured in the windstorm may pose a potential future hazard and may well need to be disassembled and disposed of to prevent putting people & property in danger in several months or even years to come.

Other trees may be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘amputated’ exactly like how a surgeon may amputate a gangrenous limb. Others may need to get staked with guy cables or held up with other supports up until they can 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 experts can be trusted to clear away the broken trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building companies access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the affected structures and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

All of these types of damage creates a varied diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to fail to notice a small detail that may well differentiate one conclusion from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.

There are generally six kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t typically stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, leading to the crown to fall or bend violently even though the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree break beneath the ground, leading to the tree leaning or swinging noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This takes place most often on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The whole crown effectively transforms into a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a many 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 substantially increased danger to drop even though it got through the initial windstorm.
