Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. Untrained individuals should not attempt to 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 are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they are typically viewed as being really sturdy and timeless, trees can become vulnerable in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and very high winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also can lead to costly repairs.

The most difficult option after a storm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that is fairly straightforward. The harder possibility is if some of the trees remaining standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially harmed in the storm may well present a possible future hazard and may need to be chopped down and removed to avoid putting property & people in danger in several months or years to come.

Other trees can be conserved by being trimmed back, with their most injured parts being ‘amputated’ exactly like how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other will require to get staked down with guy wires or supported with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree professionals can be relied upon to remove the broken trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the construction teams easy access to the building to begin repair work on the damaged properties and power lines.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of problem leads to a varied outlook for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a job ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to disregard a small detail that could separate one verdict from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six types of storm damage which a tree can’t typically stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, making the trees crown to fall or lean strongly even though the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack below the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most typically on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The whole crown basically becomes a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a several additional 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 typically at a considerably increased danger to drop even though it survived the original storm.
