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. Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are typically viewed as being sturdy and permanent, trees can certainly become at risk in extreme weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and very high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it additionally will cause expensive renovations.

The toughest decision after a windstorm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty straightforward. The tougher possibility is whether or not any of the trees remaining standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been partly injured in the windstorm may well pose a future risk and might have to be chopped down and took out to prevent putting people & property at risk in many months or years ahead.

Other trees can be conserved by being trimmed back, with their most injured sections being ‘cut off’ just like how an operating surgeon might take off a gangrenous limb. Others might need to be staked with guy cables or held up with other supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on property, our tree contractors can be relied upon to remove the injured trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building crews access to the property to begin repair work on the damaged structures and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of problem leads to a different prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but making a prognosis is a job ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to overlook a small detail that may differentiate one verdict from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which signifies that the roots also failed.

There are generally six kinds of storm damage which a tree can not usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, causing the trees crown to come down or to bend strongly whilst the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree tear below the soil, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays standing. This happens most often on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The whole crown basically becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a many additional effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a much increased danger to drop even though it endured the original windstorm.
