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 have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re generally seen as being strong and timeless, trees can easily come to be vulnerable in extreme weather such as strong winds & storms. Powerful storms and high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it additionally can cause expensive restorations.

The hardest decision following a windstorm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s more or less easy. The more difficult decision is whether any of the trees remaining standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been in part affected in the windstorm may well present a potential future hazard and might need to be chopped down and disposed of to prevent placing people & property in danger in many months or even years ahead.

Some other trees can be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘cut off’ similar to how a surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Others might require to get staked down with guy wires or held up with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree professionals can be relied upon to get rid of the broken trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction crews access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the affected properties and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of damage creates an unique outlook for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a prognosis is a task best entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to fail to notice a small detail that might differentiate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that reveals that the roots also failed.

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

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, making the trees crown to fall or to angle strongly while the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split below the earth, leading to the tree pitching or swinging dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most often on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The whole crown essentially transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, turning 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 up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a several secondary effects such as 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 substantially increased risk to drop even though it endured the original windstorm.
