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. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they’re typically considered as being really solid and permanent, trees can certainly become defenceless in adverse weather such as strong winds & storms. Violent storms and high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times following a storm have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it additionally may result in costly repair work.

The toughest option following a windstorm is not specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less simple. The more challenging possibility is whether any of the trees left standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been moderately injured in the storm might pose a potential threat and might have to be cut down and took away to avoid putting property and people in danger in many months or even years in the future.

Some other trees might be preserved by being pruned back, with their most damaged parts being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon may take off a gangrenous leg. Others may need to get staked with guy wires or supported with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree experts can be trusted to get rid of the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the building to begin restorations on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of damage causes a distinct outlook for the trees’ future survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to miss a small detail that might differentiate one verdict from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can’t generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, leading to the crown to fall or bend violently whilst the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break beneath the earth, leading to the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays up. This happens most commonly on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The whole crown ultimately ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes 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 typically at a considerably higher risk to drop even if it made it through the initial storm.
