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. 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 are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are typically considered as being really solid and permanent, trees can easily come to be defenceless in adverse weather such as strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and strong winds have been known to annihilate trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it also will result in costly repairs.

The hardest decision following a storm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that is fairly simple. The more difficult possibility is whether or not some of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly damaged in the windstorm can pose a potential future threat and may well need to be chopped down and took out to avoid putting people & property at risk in many months or years to come.

Some other trees can be preserved by being pruned back, with their most damaged sections being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Others may need to get staked with guy ropes or supported with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree experts can be trusted to remove the broken trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building crews access to the building to begin repair work on the affected properties and power lines.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these types of problem causes a varied outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a prognosis is a task best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to miss a small detail that might just differentiate one decision from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six kinds of storm damage which a tree can not generally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, resulting in the trees crown to fall or to sag strongly even though the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree crack underneath the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This occurs most often on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The whole crown effectively ends up being a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• 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 including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a substantially increased danger to fall despite the fact that it got through the initial windstorm.
