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. Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re usually taken as being really durable and timeless, trees can easily become vulnerable in adverse weather conditions like storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and high winds have been seen to decimate trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times following a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience & danger it also will cause costly repairs.

The hardest option after a storm isn’t how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly simple. The more difficult decision is if any of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been in part damaged in the windstorm may present a possible future hazard and may well need to be chopped down and took out to prevent placing people & property in danger in months or years ahead.

Some other trees could be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked sections being ‘cut off’ exactly like how an operating surgeon would remove a gangrenous leg. Some other may need to be staked with guy cables or held up with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree professionals can be relied upon to remove the damaged trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the construction teams easy access to the building to begin repair work on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of damage leads to a distinct outlook for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to overlook a small detail that can separate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that shows that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can not normally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, causing the crown to come down or to sag violently whilst the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree crack below the soil, leading to the tree pitching or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most commonly on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The whole crown ultimately becomes a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow 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 many secondary effects such as 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 considerably greater risk to fall even though it made it through the initial windstorm.
