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. Untrained persons should never attempt to deal with a tree that has fallen because of all the objects that might be under or around it and any live power lines. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they are often viewed as being really durable and timeless, trees may become at risk in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Violent storms and extreme winds have been seen to annihilate trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it also will cause expensive renovations.

The toughest option after a windstorm is not specifically how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less easy. The more challenging decision is if any of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been in part affected in the storm can present a future hazard and may have to be chopped down and removed to avoid placing people and property at risk in months or years in the future.

Other trees may be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected sections being ‘amputated’ similar to how a surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Others may need to be staked with guy wires or supported with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree contractors can be trusted to clear away the affected trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building and construction companies access to the building to start restorations on the affected properties and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of problem causes an unique prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to miss a small detail that may separate one decision from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six types of storm damage that a tree can not generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to fall or angle strongly whilst the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree crack below the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most frequently on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The entire crown effectively turns into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of secondary effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a substantially greater danger to drop even though it made it through the original storm.
