Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

If you have and fallen trees or any damaged trees from a storm or lightning, you should call a qualified 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 have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they’re generally seen as being solid and everlasting, trees can become vulnerable in extreme weather such as strong winds & storms. Violent storms and strong winds have been seen to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times following a storm have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it also may lead to expensive renovations.

The hardest decision after a windstorm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly easy. The more challenging possibility is whether or not any of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been in part affected in the storm can pose a possible future risk and might have to be chopped down and removed to prevent putting people and property in danger in many months or years in the future.

Other trees could be conserved by being pruned back, with their most cracked parts being ‘cut off’ similar to how an operating surgeon might take off a gangrenous limb. Others might need to get staked with guy cables or held up with other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree professionals can be relied upon to remove the damaged trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building and construction teams easy access to the building to begin restorations on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of damage causes a distinct outlook for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to fail to notice a small detail that may differentiate one conclusion from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 sorts of storm damage that a tree can’t typically sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, causing the trees crown to come down or lean violently even though the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split below the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most typically on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The complete crown effectively transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, 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, at the moment. Lightening hits have a lot of 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 always at a much increased danger to drop even if it survived the initial storm.
