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. Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they’re typically seen as being durable and permanent, trees can easily come to be defenceless in adverse weather such as storms & strong winds. Intense storms and high winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it also may cause costly restorations.

The toughest decision after a storm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty straightforward. The more difficult choice is whether or not some of the trees still upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been moderately injured in the windstorm might pose a future threat and might have to be chopped down and took out to prevent placing property and people at risk in months or years ahead.

Other trees could be saved by being pruned back, with their worst affected sections being ‘cut off’ exactly like how an operating surgeon might take off a gangrenous limb. Others will require to be staked down with guy cables or supported with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on property, our tree contractors can be relied upon to take away the injured trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building companies access to the building to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected properties and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these types of problem results in a distinct prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a prognosis is a task best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to disregard a small detail that could separate one decision from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are generally six forms of storm damage that a tree can not usually sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, resulting in the crown to fall or sag violently whilst the lower section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree break underneath the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This happens most commonly on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The full crown ultimately ends up being a weather vane in a storm, 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 up, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot of secondary effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a very much higher danger to fall despite the fact that it endured the initial windstorm.
