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

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they’re typically taken as being solid and eternal, trees can easily end up being defenceless in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and very high winds have been seen to decimate trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it also can result in expensive restorations.

The hardest option after a windstorm isn’t how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less easy. The tougher decision is whether any of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Some trees that have been moderately damaged in the storm may well pose a potential future threat and may well need to be disassembled and disposed of to prevent putting people & property at risk in many months or even years to come.

Other trees might be preserved by being pruned back, with their most cracked parts being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Some other might require to get staked with guy ropes or supported with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

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

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of damage leads to a different prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however making a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to fail to notice a small detail that may separate one conclusion from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six sorts of storm damage which a tree can’t generally endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, leading to the trees crown to come down or to lean violently while the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree crack below the soil, resulting in the tree bending or swinging significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most commonly on trees with very lopsided crowns. The whole crown ultimately becomes a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, 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 tree hit by lightening is typically at a much greater danger to fall even though it endured the initial storm.
