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

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they are typically seen as being really sturdy and permanent, trees can come to be defenceless in extreme weather such as strong winds & storms. Violent storms and high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times shortly after 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 also may result in expensive repair work.

The hardest decision following a windstorm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much easy. The more challenging possibility is whether or not some of the trees still standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been moderately affected in the storm might present a possible future threat and might have to be chopped down and removed to avoid putting people & property in danger in several months or even years to come.

Some other trees might be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked parts being ‘cut off’ much like how an operating surgeon might remove a gangrenous limb. Others will need to get staked down with guy cables or held up with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree professionals can be trusted to get rid of the broken trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the construction crews easy access to the property to begin restorations on the damaged structures and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of problem creates an unique prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to overlook a small detail that may differentiate 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 failed.

There are generally six forms of storm damage that a tree can’t normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, resulting in the crown to fall or sag violently whilst the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree crack beneath the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most commonly on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The complete crown essentially ends up being a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of 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 much increased risk to fall despite the fact that it endured the original storm.
