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 persons should never attempt to deal with a tree that has fallen because of all the objects that might be under or around it and any live power lines. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they’re generally viewed as being durable and permanent, trees can easily come to be at risk in extreme weather such as storms & strong winds. Intense storms and very high winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it additionally can cause expensive restorations.

The most difficult decision after a storm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much straightforward. The more difficult decision is whether or not any of the trees remaining standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been partly injured in the windstorm might present a future hazard and might have to be disassembled and took away to avoid putting people & property at risk in months or even years in the future.

Some other trees maybe preserved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked sections being ‘amputated’ similar to how a surgeon may take off a gangrenous leg. Some other might require to be staked with guy wires or held up with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree contractors can be relied upon to clear away the broken trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction companies easy access to the building to begin repairs on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of damage creates a different diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a diagnosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to disregard a small detail that may separate one verdict from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage which a tree can’t generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, causing the crown to come down or lean violently whilst the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree snap underneath the ground, leading to the tree leaning or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This occurs most commonly on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The entire crown basically ends up being a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a many additional effects including 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 increased danger to fall despite the fact that it made it through the initial windstorm.
