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.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they are often seen as being really sturdy and permanent, trees can end up being at risk in adverse weather such as strong winds & storms. Intense storms and strong winds have been seen to decimate trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it additionally can cause expensive repair work.

The most difficult option following a storm is not specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s more or less simple. The more challenging choice is whether or not any of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partially damaged in the windstorm can pose a future hazard and might have to be disassembled and disposed of to avoid placing people & property in danger in several months or even years ahead.

Some other trees can be conserved by being pruned back, with their most damaged sections being ‘severed’ much like how an operating surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Others may need to be staked down with guy cables or supported with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree contractors can be relied upon to clear away the damaged trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the construction crews easy access to the building to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected properties and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of damage leads to an unique diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to overlook a small detail that can separate one verdict from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six forms of storm damage that a tree can not typically sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, leading to the trees crown to fall or angle violently whilst the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree tear underneath the earth, leading to the tree bending or swinging considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This occurs most commonly on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The entire crown essentially turns into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which 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 additional 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 very much increased danger to fall even if it survived the original windstorm.
