Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

If you are concerned about a tree that has fallen or has been damaged from lightning or a storm, we recommend calling a qualified 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. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Though they are usually viewed as being really strong and eternal, trees may come to be vulnerable in adverse weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and strong winds have been known to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times following strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also can result in expensive renovations.

The toughest option after a windstorm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty straightforward. The more difficult choice is whether or not any of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partly harmed in the storm can present a possible future risk and may need to be chopped down and took away to prevent placing property & people in danger in months or even years ahead.

Some other trees may be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured sections being ‘amputated’ similar to how a surgeon might amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other will require to get staked with guy ropes or held up with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree professionals can be relied upon to get rid of the damaged trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building companies access to the building to begin repair work on the affected structures and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these sorts of damage results in a varied diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to fail to notice a small detail that could separate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 sorts of storm damage that a tree can’t normally endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, resulting in the crown to come down or bend strongly while the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree split beneath the earth, resulting in the tree bending or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most often on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The entire crown effectively transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several additional effects like 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 very much higher risk to drop even though it endured the initial storm.
