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

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they’re often seen as being really strong and timeless, trees can become vulnerable in adverse weather like storms & strong winds. Fierce storms and strong winds have been known to decimate trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

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

The hardest option following a storm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly easy. The harder choice is whether or not any of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partly injured in the storm may well present a potential risk and might have to be chopped down and took out to avoid placing property and people at risk in several months or even years ahead.

Other trees might be conserved by being trimmed back, with their most damaged parts being ‘cut off’ exactly like how a surgeon will remove a gangrenous limb. Others will need to get staked with guy cables or supported with other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree experts can be trusted to clear away the affected trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building and construction crews access to the property to begin restorations on the affected properties and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of problem results in a varied prognosis for the trees’ future survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to disregard a small detail that might differentiate one conclusion from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that reveals that the roots also failed.

There are essentially 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can’t normally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, leading to the trees crown to come down or to angle strongly even though the lower part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split beneath the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Limb 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 up. This takes place most frequently on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The whole crown basically turns into a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a several 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 danger to drop even though it endured the initial storm.
