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. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and 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.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Though they are generally viewed as being really solid and permanent, trees can easily end up being at risk in adverse weather like storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and high winds have been seen to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it additionally will lead to costly restorations.

The hardest option following a windstorm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty straightforward. The tougher decision is whether or not some of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been in part affected in the windstorm might present a possible future hazard and may need to be cut down and disposed of to prevent placing people and property in danger in many months or even years in the future.

Some other trees could be saved by being pruned back, with their worst affected parts being ‘cut off’ exactly like how an operating surgeon will take off a gangrenous leg. Others will need to be staked down with guy wires or held up with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree experts can be trusted to take away the broken trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the construction crews easy access to the property to begin restorations on the affected structures and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these kinds of problem leads to an unique diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to overlook a small detail that could differentiate one conclusion from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that suggests that the roots also failed.

There are essentially 6 types of storm damage that a tree can’t usually sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, resulting in the trees crown to fall or to lean strongly whilst the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree snap beneath the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swaying considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most commonly on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The whole crown ultimately ends up being a weather vane in a windstorm, 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, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a many secondary effects such as 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 substantially higher risk to drop despite the fact that it made it through the original windstorm.
