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. Untrained individuals should not attempt to 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. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they’re usually taken as being really strong and eternal, trees can easily become at risk in extreme weather such as strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been seen to annihilate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times following strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger and inconvenience it additionally will lead to costly restorations.

The hardest decision following a storm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty much easy. The more challenging choice is if some of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly harmed in the storm may well present a potential future threat and may need to be cut down and took out to prevent putting property and people in danger in many months or years in the future.

Some other trees might be saved by being pruned back, with their worst damaged sections being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon will take off a gangrenous limb. Others will need to be staked with guy cables or supported with other supports until they can re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree contractors can be trusted to get rid of the affected trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building crews easy access to the building to start restorations on the affected properties and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

All of these types of problem results in an unique prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a diagnosis is a job best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to overlook a small detail that might separate one verdict from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that signifies that the roots also failed.

There are essentially 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can’t generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, resulting in the trees crown to come down or to angle violently whilst the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack underneath the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swaying dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This happens most typically on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The complete crown ultimately ends up being a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a lot of additional effects like 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 much greater risk to drop even though it got through the original storm.
