Storm Damage Tree Removal

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.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they’re usually seen as being really durable and eternal, trees can come to be defenceless in adverse weather such as strong winds and storms. Intense storms and strong winds have been seen to decimate trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times after strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger and inconvenience it also can cause costly repairs.

The most difficult decision after a storm is not how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less straightforward. The tougher decision is whether or not any of the trees still standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially affected in the windstorm may present a future threat and may well need to be cut down and disposed of to avoid placing people & property in danger in months or years to come.

Other trees could be conserved by being pruned back, with their worst affected sections being ‘severed’ much like how an operating surgeon will take off a gangrenous limb. Some other may require to get staked with guy ropes or supported with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on property, our tree experts can be trusted to get rid of the broken trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the construction teams access to the building to begin repair work on the damaged structures and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of damage causes a different prognosis for the trees’ future survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to disregard a small detail that might just separate one conclusion from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that suggests that the roots also failed.

There are basically six kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t normally endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, resulting in the crown to come down or to lean violently whilst the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree snap below the earth, leading to the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This takes place most often on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The full crown basically transforms into a weather vane in a storm, twisting 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 many additional effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a very much higher risk to drop even if it made it through the original windstorm.
