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. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are generally seen as being really durable and timeless, trees may become at risk in adverse weather such as strong winds & storms. Intense storms and extreme winds have been known to decimate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it also may lead to expensive restorations.

The toughest option after a storm is not how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less straightforward. The tougher choice is whether some of the trees still standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been moderately affected in the windstorm can pose a potential hazard and may need to be chopped down and removed to avoid putting property and people at risk in many months or even years ahead.

Other trees might be saved by being pruned back, with their worst injured sections being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Others might require to be staked down with guy cables or held up with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on property, our tree specialists can be relied upon to clear away the injured trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the construction companies easy access to the building to start restorations on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of problem leads to a different outlook for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to disregard a small detail that might just separate one decision from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can’t generally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, making the crown to come down or to sag violently even though the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree crack under the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This happens most typically on trees with very lopsided crowns. The full crown ultimately turns into a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a much higher danger to fall even though it made it through the initial windstorm.
