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 are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they’re usually viewed as being solid and permanent, trees may end up being vulnerable in extreme weather such as strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and very high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times following strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also will result in expensive repair work.

The toughest option after a windstorm is not how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s more or less straightforward. The tougher possibility is whether any of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially damaged in the storm may well pose a possible future threat and might have to be disassembled and removed to prevent placing property & people in danger in several months or years in the future.

Some other trees maybe saved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘amputated’ exactly like how an operating surgeon would take off a gangrenous limb. Some other might require to get staked with guy cables or supported with other supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

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

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of problem results in a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a prognosis is a job ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to fail to notice a small detail that might separate one conclusion from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can not usually endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, leading to the crown to fall or to angle violently whilst the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree snap under the earth, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This happens most commonly on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The full crown essentially ends up being a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several additional effects like 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 greater danger to drop even though it got through the original storm.
