Storm Damage Tree Removal

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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Though they’re usually considered as being strong and timeless, trees can easily become vulnerable in adverse weather like storms and strong winds. Powerful storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also can cause expensive renovations.

The hardest decision after a windstorm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s fairly simple. The more challenging decision is whether or not some of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been partly damaged in the windstorm may pose a future risk and may need to be chopped down and took out to prevent putting property and people at risk in several months or even years to come.

Some other trees could be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most affected parts being ‘cut off’ similar to how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Others may need to be staked with guy ropes or held up with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree professionals can be trusted to get rid of the broken trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building and construction companies access to the property to begin repair work on the damaged properties and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of problem causes a varied prognosis for the trees’ future survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to overlook a small detail that might just differentiate one conclusion from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.

There are generally six forms of storm damage which a tree can not normally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, making the crown to fall or angle violently even though the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree split beneath the ground, leading to the tree bending or swaying noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays up. This takes place most commonly on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The whole crown essentially transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a number of secondary effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a very much higher danger to fall even though it got through the initial windstorm.
