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.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are typically taken as being solid and eternal, trees can come to be at risk in adverse weather like strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and tear even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

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

The most difficult option after a windstorm is not how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is fairly simple. The more challenging decision is whether or not some of the trees still upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been in part injured in the storm may pose a potential hazard and may well need to be chopped down and took away to prevent placing property & people in danger in several months or years to come.

Some other trees could be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured sections being ‘severed’ just like how an operating surgeon would remove a gangrenous limb. Some other might need to be staked with guy ropes or held up with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree contractors can be relied upon to take away the injured trees quickly, safely and efficiently 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 problem causes a different outlook for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a prognosis is a job ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to fail to notice a small detail that may differentiate one decision from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which suggests that the roots also failed.

There are generally six kinds of storm damage which a tree can not normally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, making the trees crown to come down or lean violently even though the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree split under the soil, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This happens most often on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The complete crown basically transforms into a weather vane 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 hits have a lot of additional effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a considerably higher danger to drop even if it made it through the initial storm.
