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

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they’re often viewed as being really strong and eternal, trees can become defenceless in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Intense storms and extreme winds have been seen to wipe out trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it additionally may result in expensive renovations.

The toughest decision following a storm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty much straightforward. The harder possibility is if any of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been moderately affected in the storm may well pose a potential hazard and may well have to be disassembled and took away to avoid placing property and people in danger in several months or years to come.

Other trees could be saved by being pruned back, with their most affected sections being ‘cut off’ just like how an operating surgeon might remove a gangrenous limb. Some other may require to get staked down with guy wires or held up with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree contractors can be relied upon to clear away the injured trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction teams access to the building to begin repair work on the damaged structures and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of problem results in a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a diagnosis is a task best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more liable to overlook a small detail that can separate one verdict from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are generally six types of storm damage that a tree can not typically sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, leading to the crown to fall or sag violently even though the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree split below the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swaying considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays up. This occurs most typically on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The entire crown basically transforms into a weather vane 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 up, for now. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects like 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 increased danger to drop even if it endured the original storm.
