Storm Damage Tree Removal

If you have and fallen trees or any damaged trees from a storm or lightning, you should call a qualified 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.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they are usually taken as being really strong and permanent, trees can certainly end up being vulnerable in adverse weather conditions like storms and strong winds. Violent storms and extreme winds have been known to annihilate trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also may lead to costly repair work.

The hardest option after a storm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty straightforward. The more difficult possibility is if any of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been in part injured in the storm might pose a potential risk and may well need to be cut down and disposed of to prevent putting people and property in danger in several months or years to come.

Some other trees may be preserved by being pruned back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘amputated’ exactly like how a surgeon may remove a gangrenous limb. Some other will require to get staked with guy cables or held up with additional supports until they can re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree specialists can be relied upon to get rid of the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the property to begin repairs on the affected properties and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of damage causes a varied prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to disregard a small detail that might just separate one verdict from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that suggests that the roots also failed.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can’t normally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, leading to the trees crown to come down or lean strongly even though the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree tear underneath the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This happens most commonly on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The whole crown ultimately ends up being a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a number of 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 typically at a substantially higher risk to drop even if it made it through the initial storm.
