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 have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are generally seen as being really solid and permanent, trees can easily end up being defenceless in adverse weather conditions such as storms and strong winds. Powerful storms and very high winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times following strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger and inconvenience it additionally can result in costly repairs.

The most difficult decision after a windstorm isn’t how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty straightforward. The more difficult decision is whether any of the trees still upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been in part harmed in the windstorm might present a future hazard and may have to be disassembled and removed to avoid placing property & people at risk in many months or even years ahead.

Some other trees may be conserved by being pruned back, with their most affected sections being ‘severed’ exactly like how an operating surgeon might remove a gangrenous leg. Others will need to get staked with guy cables or held up with additional supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree professionals can be trusted to take away the damaged trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building and construction teams access to the building to start restorations on the affected properties and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of damage creates a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to disregard a small detail that may well separate one decision from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six sorts of storm damage that a tree can not usually endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to come down or to lean violently while the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break beneath the earth, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This occurs most typically on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The full crown ultimately transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a many 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 typically at a considerably higher risk to fall even though it got through the original windstorm.
