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

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they are typically seen as being really strong and everlasting, trees can easily come to be at risk in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and strong winds have been seen to annihilate trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it additionally can cause costly repair work.

The toughest option following a windstorm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty simple. The more challenging decision is whether or not some of the trees left upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been in part harmed in the storm may present a potential hazard and might need to be chopped down and took away to avoid placing people & property at risk in many months or years in the future.

Other trees can be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured parts being ‘severed’ much like how a surgeon may remove a gangrenous limb. Some other might require to get staked with guy ropes or held up with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree specialists can be trusted to clear away the broken trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction teams access to the building to start repairs on the damaged structures and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of problem causes a varied diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more likely to overlook a small detail that can differentiate one verdict from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six forms of storm damage which a tree can’t generally endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, making the crown to fall or lean violently while the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree crack underneath the earth, leading to the tree bending or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most typically on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The entire crown ultimately transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that 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 number of additional effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a considerably higher risk to drop even if it made it through the original storm.
