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.

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

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are often viewed as being durable and permanent, trees can certainly come to be at risk in extreme weather such as storms & strong winds. Violent storms and strong winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times following a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it additionally may result in expensive restorations.

The hardest option after a storm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much easy. The more difficult choice is whether or not any of the trees left standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been in part harmed in the storm can pose a potential future threat and may have to be cut down and removed to avoid putting property & people in danger in several months or years ahead.

Other trees may be conserved by being pruned back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘severed’ exactly like how an operating surgeon would amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other might require to be staked down with guy ropes or held up with additional supports until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of damage causes a distinct prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but making a prognosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to disregard a small detail that can separate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 kinds of storm damage that a tree can not usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, leading to the trees crown to fall or to lean violently while the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree break underneath the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most frequently on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The entire crown effectively turns into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot of additional effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a substantially greater risk to fall even if it endured the initial storm.
