Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

If you are concerned about a tree that has fallen or has been damaged from lightning or a storm, we recommend calling 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 considered as being really strong and eternal, trees may end up being at risk in adverse weather such as storms and strong winds. Violent storms and extreme winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times following a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it additionally can cause expensive repairs.

The toughest decision following a windstorm isn’t how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty straightforward. The more difficult decision is whether any of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been moderately harmed in the windstorm may pose a future risk and might have to be disassembled and disposed of to avoid placing people and property at risk in several months or years in the future.

Some other trees could be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged parts being ‘amputated’ similar to how a surgeon may amputate a gangrenous leg. Others might require to be staked down with guy wires or held up with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree professionals can be relied upon to clear away the broken trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building crews access to the building to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage results in a distinct prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to miss a small detail that may separate one conclusion from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six sorts of storm damage that a tree can’t normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, leading to the trees crown to fall or to lean strongly while the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap underneath the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most commonly on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The full crown essentially becomes a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind 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 massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a much higher risk to drop even if it survived the initial windstorm.
