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 are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they’re often seen as being really sturdy and permanent, trees can become defenceless in extreme weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Powerful storms and strong winds have been seen to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it additionally can result in costly renovations.

The hardest decision following a windstorm is not how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty much straightforward. The more challenging decision is whether some of the trees still standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partly injured in the storm may pose a potential risk and may need to be chopped down and took out to avoid putting people & property in danger in several months or years to come.

Some other trees may be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘severed’ similar to how a surgeon will remove a gangrenous leg. Others may need to be staked down with guy cables or supported with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree specialists can be trusted to clear away the broken trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building companies easy access to the building to begin repair work on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of problem creates a distinct outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more going to overlook a small detail that could differentiate one decision from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.

There are basically 6 sorts of storm damage which a tree can not normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to fall or to lean strongly even though the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree crack underneath the earth, resulting in the tree bending or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most typically on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The whole crown ultimately ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a lot of additional effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a very much increased danger to drop despite the fact that it made it through the original storm.
