Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

If you have and fallen trees or any damaged trees from a storm or lightning, you should call 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.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they’re usually taken as being really durable and everlasting, trees can certainly become at risk in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Violent storms and strong winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it also will result in expensive renovations.

The toughest option after a storm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much easy. The more challenging decision is if some of the trees still upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partly affected in the windstorm can present a future threat and may well need to be cut down and took away to avoid putting people & property at risk in months or even years ahead.

Some other trees may be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured parts being ‘cut off’ exactly like how an operating surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Others will need to be staked down with guy wires or supported with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on property, our tree professionals can be trusted to remove the injured trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building crews easy access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage leads to a distinct outlook for the trees’ future survival, but making a prognosis is a job ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to disregard a small detail that might differentiate one verdict from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 types of storm damage that a tree can’t usually endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, resulting in the trees crown to come down or bend violently even though the lower section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree snap under the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most frequently on trees with very lopsided crowns. The whole crown essentially transforms into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a several additional effects like 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 very much higher danger to fall even though it got through the initial windstorm.
