Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

If you have and fallen trees or any damaged trees from a storm or lightning, you should call a qualified tree surgeon. Untrained persons should never attempt to deal with a tree that has fallen because of all the objects that might be under or around it and any live power lines. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they are often considered as being durable and eternal, trees can certainly become at risk in adverse weather like storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and high winds have been known to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

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

The hardest option following a storm is not how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less easy. The more difficult decision is whether or not some of the trees still upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially harmed in the windstorm can pose a potential future threat and may need to be disassembled and disposed of to avoid placing property and people in danger in several months or even years ahead.

Some other trees might be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most injured parts being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon would remove a gangrenous leg. Some other may need to be staked down with guy cables or held up with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree professionals can be trusted to remove the affected trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction crews access to the property to start repairs on the damaged properties and power lines.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of problem leads to an unique diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but making a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to disregard a small detail that might differentiate one conclusion from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can’t usually sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, causing the crown to fall or angle strongly whilst the lower part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break below the soil, leading to the tree bending or swinging noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most frequently on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The full crown essentially transforms into a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – 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 typically at a substantially greater danger to fall even if it endured the original windstorm.
