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. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and deal with a fallen tree, as there are many objects that could be trapped underneath or around the tree, as well as any live power lines. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they are often considered as being really strong and everlasting, trees can certainly end up being at risk in extreme weather such as storms and strong winds. Intense storms and strong winds have been known to decimate trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times following strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it additionally will lead to costly renovations.

The most difficult decision following a windstorm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much simple. The more challenging decision is whether or not some of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been in part affected in the storm might pose a potential future risk and may well have to be cut down and took away to prevent placing property and people at risk in several months or years in the future.

Some other trees could be preserved by being pruned back, with their worst affected parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how a surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Some other will require to be staked with guy cables or supported with other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree experts can be relied upon to get rid of the damaged trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building crews access to the property to begin restorations on the affected structures and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of damage results in a varied outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however making a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to disregard a small detail that could differentiate one decision from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six kinds of storm damage which a tree can not typically endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, causing the crown to come down or to bend violently while the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split under the ground, leading to the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays up. This happens most often on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The full crown essentially becomes 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, for now. Lightening hits have a number of additional 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 increased risk to drop despite the fact that it survived the original storm.
