Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. 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. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they’re generally considered as being sturdy and permanent, trees can easily end up being defenceless in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Powerful storms and very high winds have been known to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, 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 & inconvenience it also will result in expensive repair work.

The most difficult option following a windstorm is not specifically how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much simple. The more challenging decision is whether some of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been in part affected in the storm may present a potential future hazard and may need to be disassembled and disposed of to avoid putting people & property at risk in months or years in the future.

Some other trees maybe conserved by being pruned back, with their worst injured sections being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other may need to get staked down with guy ropes or held up with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree experts can be trusted to take away the injured trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building crews access to the building to begin repair work on the damaged properties and power cables.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of damage leads to a different outlook for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a task best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to fail to notice a small detail that may well differentiate one conclusion from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six kinds of storm damage which a tree can not usually endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, resulting in the trees crown to come down or to lean strongly while the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack underneath the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swinging noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most commonly on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The whole crown essentially becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of additional effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a very much greater danger to drop even though it endured the initial storm.
