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 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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they’re often considered as being solid and timeless, trees can certainly end up being defenceless in extreme weather conditions such as storms and strong winds. Powerful storms and strong winds have been known to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times following a storm have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it additionally will lead to expensive repairs.

The most difficult decision following a storm is not specifically how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly easy. The more challenging decision is if any of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partially harmed in the storm can present a future risk and might need to be cut down and took out to avoid placing property & people at risk in months or even years to come.

Other trees maybe preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected sections being ‘amputated’ much like how an operating surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other may require to be staked down with guy wires or held up with other supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree specialists can be trusted to clear away the affected trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the construction crews easy access to the building to start repair work on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these sorts of damage results in a different outlook for the trees’ potential survival, however making a prognosis is a task best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to disregard a small detail that may well separate one conclusion from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six kinds of storm damage that 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 splits above the soil, making the trees crown to come down or to angle strongly whilst the lower part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree tear beneath the soil, leading to the tree bending or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This occurs most commonly on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The entire crown ultimately transforms into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects like 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 greater danger to drop despite the fact that it endured the initial storm.
