Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. 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 typically taken as being really durable and eternal, trees can certainly end up being defenceless in adverse weather conditions such as storms & strong winds. Intense storms and high winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it additionally can result in costly repairs.

The most difficult decision after a storm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly straightforward. The more difficult choice is whether some of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been moderately affected in the storm may well present a possible future threat and may need to be chopped down and took away to avoid placing property & people in danger in months or years ahead.

Some other trees may be saved by being pruned back, with their most injured parts being ‘cut off’ exactly like how an operating surgeon will amputate a gangrenous leg. Others might require to get staked with guy wires or supported with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree experts can be relied upon to clear away the damaged trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building companies access to the property to begin maintenance and repairs on the damaged properties and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these sorts of problem creates a distinct prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more going to miss a small detail that might just differentiate one verdict from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which signifies that the roots also failed.

There are basically six types of storm damage which a tree can’t usually sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, resulting in the crown to fall or to sag violently even though the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear under the earth, leading to the tree bending or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays up. This takes place most frequently on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The full crown basically ends up being a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot of 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 always at a very much higher danger to drop even though it survived the initial storm.
