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 are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they are generally taken as being solid and timeless, trees may end up being vulnerable in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and strong winds have been seen to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them toppling 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 & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it also can result in expensive renovations.

The toughest option after a windstorm isn’t how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty straightforward. The more challenging choice is whether or not some of the trees left standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been partially damaged in the storm can pose a possible future hazard and may well have to be cut down and disposed of to avoid placing people & property in danger in many months or even years to come.

Other trees could be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘severed’ much like how a surgeon will amputate a gangrenous leg. Others will need to be staked with guy ropes or supported with additional supports until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree specialists can be relied upon to get rid of the broken trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction crews access to the property to begin repair work on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of problem results in a varied diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to fail to notice a small detail that might separate one verdict from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 sorts of storm damage which a tree can’t usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, making the crown to fall or sag violently while the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree tear underneath the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most commonly on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The whole crown ultimately turns into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits 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 lightening-hit tree is always at a very much higher risk to drop even though it made it through the initial storm.
