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. 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. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are generally viewed as being durable and permanent, trees can certainly become defenceless in extreme weather conditions like storms and strong winds. Violent storms and high winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times following a storm have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the inconvenience and danger it also may cause costly restorations.

The most difficult decision after a storm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly straightforward. The harder choice is whether or not some of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been moderately injured in the windstorm may pose a possible future hazard and may well have to be chopped down and disposed of to avoid placing property & people in danger in many months or even years to come.

Some other trees can be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected parts being ‘amputated’ exactly like how a surgeon may take off a gangrenous limb. Some other will need to get staked with guy ropes or supported with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree experts can be relied upon to get rid of the injured trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building crews easy access to the building to begin repairs on the damaged properties and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of damage creates a varied outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to overlook a small detail that could differentiate one verdict from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 kinds of storm damage which a tree can’t typically endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, causing the crown to fall or bend violently even though the lower section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split under the earth, leading to the tree bending or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This happens most often on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The entire crown ultimately transforms into a weathervane in a storm, turning 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 standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a number 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 always at a much greater risk to fall even if it endured the initial windstorm.
