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. 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 have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are often taken as being solid and eternal, trees can easily come to be at risk in extreme weather like strong winds and storms. Violent storms and very high winds have been known to decimate trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it also may result in expensive repair work.

The toughest decision after a storm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty straightforward. The harder decision is if any of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been in part damaged in the windstorm may well pose a possible future hazard and may well have to be cut down and removed to prevent placing property and people in danger in many months or even years in the future.

Some other trees might be saved by being pruned back, with their worst damaged parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how an operating surgeon will take off a gangrenous limb. Some other will require to get staked with guy cables or supported with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

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

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of damage leads to a different diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, however making a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to disregard a small detail that could differentiate one conclusion from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six types of storm damage which a tree can not normally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, causing the crown to fall or angle violently even though the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear below the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swaying significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most often on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The whole crown ultimately transforms into a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. 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 substantially greater risk to drop even if it made it through the initial windstorm.
