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 are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they are generally seen as being really solid and everlasting, trees can easily become defenceless in extreme weather such as storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and very high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times after strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it also will lead to expensive repairs.

The toughest option following a storm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s fairly simple. The more challenging choice is if some of the trees left standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been partially harmed in the storm may well present a potential future hazard and may need to be cut down and took away to prevent putting people and property in danger in many months or even years to come.

Other trees might be preserved by being pruned back, with their most injured parts being ‘amputated’ much like how an operating surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Others will require to be staked with guy wires or held up with other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree professionals can be trusted to clear away the broken trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building teams easy access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the affected buildings and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of damage results in a different outlook for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to overlook a small detail that can separate one decision from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which shows that the roots also failed.

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

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, leading to the crown to fall or lean violently whilst the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap underneath the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most commonly on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The whole crown basically ends up being a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a several secondary effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a very much greater danger to fall even if it made it through the initial storm.
