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. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and 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 Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re typically taken as being really sturdy and permanent, trees may become defenceless in extreme weather such as strong winds & storms. Powerful storms and very high winds have been known to decimate trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience & danger it additionally may cause costly repairs.

The hardest option after a windstorm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is fairly easy. The more challenging decision is whether any of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partly harmed in the windstorm can pose a potential future risk and may need to be cut down and disposed of to avoid placing property & people in danger in months or even years to come.

Other trees can be conserved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘severed’ much like how a surgeon may take off a gangrenous limb. Others will require to get staked with guy cables or held up with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree professionals can be trusted to take away the injured trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the construction companies access to the building to begin repairs on the damaged properties and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of damage results in an unique prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to disregard a small detail that could separate one decision from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that suggests that the roots also failed.

There are generally six kinds of storm damage that a tree can not normally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, making the trees crown to fall or to sag violently whilst the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break below the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This happens most commonly on trees with very lopsided crowns. The full crown basically turns into a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. 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 typically at a much greater danger to fall despite the fact that it got through the original windstorm.
