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. Untrained persons should never attempt to deal with a tree that has fallen because of all the objects that might be under or around it and any live power lines. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they’re generally viewed as being solid and timeless, trees can certainly end up being defenceless in extreme weather like strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and strong winds have been known to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it additionally may result in expensive restorations.

The hardest decision after a storm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much simple. The more challenging decision is whether or not some of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly harmed in the storm can pose a future threat and may well need to be disassembled and took out to avoid placing people and property at risk in months or years to come.

Some other trees could be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked parts being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon may take off a gangrenous limb. Some other might require to get staked down with guy cables or held up with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of problem creates a varied prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to disregard a small detail that may separate one conclusion from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage that a tree can’t usually sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to come down or angle strongly even though the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack beneath the earth, leading to the tree pitching or swinging considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most typically on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The complete crown essentially transforms into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a lot 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 considerably higher risk to drop despite the fact that it got through the original storm.
