Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

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. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they’re typically seen as being sturdy and timeless, trees can easily become at risk in extreme weather such as storms and strong winds. Violent storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the ground, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it additionally may result in costly repair work.

The toughest option following a windstorm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty simple. The tougher decision is if any of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been in part damaged in the windstorm may present a potential future risk and may well have to be cut down and disposed of to prevent putting property and people at risk in months or even years ahead.

Other trees may be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected sections being ‘amputated’ exactly like how an operating surgeon will amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other may require to be staked with guy ropes or supported with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree experts can be trusted to get rid of the affected trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building crews access to the property to start repair work on the damaged structures and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of damage results in a different diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, however making a prognosis is a task best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to disregard a small detail that might just differentiate one conclusion from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six types of storm damage which a tree can not usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, leading to the trees crown to fall or to angle violently even though the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break underneath the earth, leading to the tree bending or swinging dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This happens most frequently on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The complete crown effectively transforms into 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 secondary effects including 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 much increased danger to drop despite the fact that it got through the original windstorm.
