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. 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 have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they are usually seen as being strong and everlasting, trees may end up being vulnerable in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Violent storms and high winds have been known to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it additionally may cause expensive repair work.

The hardest decision after a storm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much easy. The more difficult possibility is whether any of the trees left standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been moderately injured in the windstorm can pose a potential hazard and may well need to be disassembled and took away to prevent placing property and people at risk in many months or years ahead.

Some other trees maybe saved by being trimmed back, with their most injured parts being ‘cut off’ similar to how a surgeon would take off a gangrenous leg. Some other will need to be staked with guy ropes or supported with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree specialists can be trusted to take away the injured trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building companies easy access to the building to begin repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these sorts of problem causes a varied outlook for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to overlook a small detail that might differentiate one verdict from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which shows that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 sorts of storm damage which a tree can not generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, making the trees crown to come down or bend strongly even though the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap under the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This happens most typically on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The complete crown ultimately ends up being a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot of additional effects such as 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 much increased risk to fall despite the fact that it survived the initial windstorm.
