Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

If you are concerned about a tree that has fallen or has been damaged from lightning or a storm, we recommend calling 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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they are usually taken as being durable and timeless, trees can come to be at risk in extreme weather like strong winds and storms. Violent storms and high winds have been known to decimate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it additionally will lead to expensive restorations.

The most difficult decision following a windstorm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly straightforward. The more challenging choice is whether or not some of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been moderately damaged in the windstorm may well present a potential threat and may well have to be cut down and disposed of to avoid placing property and people at risk in several months or years ahead.

Some other trees maybe preserved by being pruned back, with their most affected sections being ‘cut off’ just like how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Others will need to get staked with guy wires or supported with other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree professionals can be trusted to clear away the affected trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the construction teams easy access to the property to start repairs on the affected properties and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of problem causes a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to miss a small detail that could separate one decision from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six sorts of storm damage which a tree can’t normally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, making the crown to come down or bend violently even though the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree crack under the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This takes place most commonly on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The whole crown basically ends up being a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a lot of secondary effects including 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 considerably higher risk to fall despite the fact that it got through the original windstorm.
