Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

If you have and fallen trees or any damaged trees from a storm or lightning, you should call a qualified 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 have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re often seen as being really sturdy and permanent, trees can easily come to be vulnerable in extreme weather like storms and strong winds. Intense storms and high winds have been known to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times following strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it also may result in expensive repair work.

The toughest decision after a storm is not how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much easy. The tougher choice is if any of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly injured in the windstorm might pose a potential future hazard and might have to be chopped down and disposed of to avoid putting people and property at risk in several months or years in the future.

Other trees can be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how a surgeon would take off a gangrenous leg. Others may require to get staked down with guy cables or supported with other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree professionals can be relied upon to get rid of the affected trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building and construction crews access to the property to start repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of problem leads to a different diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but making a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to overlook a small detail that can differentiate one verdict from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six sorts of storm damage that a tree can’t typically endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, causing the trees crown to come down or to lean violently even though the lower section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree snap beneath the soil, resulting in the tree bending or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most frequently on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The whole crown effectively ends up being a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a many additional 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 much increased danger to drop even if it made it through the initial windstorm.
