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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re generally seen as being really strong and eternal, trees may become defenceless in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Intense storms and strong winds have been seen to decimate trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

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

The hardest option after a storm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much easy. The harder choice is whether or not some of the trees still standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been moderately harmed in the storm may well pose a potential future threat and may have to be chopped down and took away to prevent placing property and people in danger in several months or even years ahead.

Some other trees could be conserved by being pruned back, with their worst affected parts being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Some other may need to get staked with guy ropes or held up with various other supports up 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 buildings, our tree contractors can be relied upon to take away the affected trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the construction companies easy access to the building to begin repair work on the damaged structures and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of damage causes a varied outlook for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to miss a small detail that may separate one conclusion 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 six types of storm damage which a tree can’t usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, causing the trees crown to come down or to bend strongly even though the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split below the soil, leading to the tree pitching or swinging significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most commonly on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The complete crown ultimately ends up being a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of additional effects like 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 substantially greater danger to drop even though it got through the initial storm.
