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 are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they are generally viewed as being durable and everlasting, trees can come to be defenceless in adverse weather conditions like strong winds & storms. Powerful storms and strong winds have been seen to wipe out trees and tear even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it also will result in costly repair work.

The hardest option after a windstorm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much easy. The more challenging possibility is if any of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been moderately damaged in the windstorm may well pose a potential future hazard and might have to be disassembled and took away to avoid placing property and people at risk in several months or years ahead.

Some other trees maybe preserved by being pruned back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘cut off’ similar to how a surgeon might remove a gangrenous limb. Others will need to get staked down with guy ropes or supported with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree professionals can be relied upon to clear away the injured trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the construction companies easy access to the building to start repair work on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of problem results in a distinct outlook for the trees’ future survival, however making a diagnosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to disregard a small detail that might just differentiate one conclusion from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which shows that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six types of storm damage which a tree can not usually endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, resulting in the trees crown to fall or sag strongly even though the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree break beneath the soil, leading to the tree pitching or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most frequently on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The full crown basically turns into a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which 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 number of secondary effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a very much increased danger to fall even if it endured the original windstorm.
