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

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they’re generally viewed as being durable and permanent, trees can easily come to be vulnerable in extreme weather like strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and very high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

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 danger & inconvenience it additionally will cause costly repair work.

The hardest decision following a windstorm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly easy. The tougher possibility is whether or not some of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially harmed in the storm may pose a possible future threat and might have to be chopped down and removed to avoid placing people & property at risk in several months or years in the future.

Other trees could be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected parts being ‘cut off’ just like how a surgeon will remove a gangrenous leg. Others may require to be staked with guy cables or held up with 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 land on buildings, our tree experts can be trusted to remove the injured trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the construction teams access to the building to begin repair work on the affected properties and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of damage leads to a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to overlook a small detail that might just differentiate one decision from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which shows that the roots also failed.

There are generally six sorts of storm damage which a tree can’t normally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, making the trees crown to fall or to bend strongly whilst the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split underneath the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This happens most frequently on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The full crown essentially transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, 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, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a lot of secondary effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a substantially higher danger to drop even though it made it through the initial storm.
