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

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they’re often taken as being really solid and everlasting, trees can end up being at risk in extreme weather like strong winds and storms. Intense storms and very high winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times following strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also may lead to costly renovations.

The most difficult decision after a windstorm is not specifically how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much easy. The more challenging choice is if some of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been in part damaged in the windstorm may present a potential future risk and may have to be disassembled and disposed of to avoid putting property & people at risk in several months or years to come.

Other trees may be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked parts being ‘amputated’ similar to how an operating surgeon may take off a gangrenous limb. Others may require to get staked with guy cables or held up with various other 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 property, our tree specialists can be relied upon to remove the injured trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building crews access to the property to begin maintenance and repairs on the affected properties and power cables.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage causes a distinct outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however making a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more going to fail to notice a small detail that might just differentiate one verdict from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that indicates that the roots also failed.

There are basically six forms of storm damage that a tree can not typically stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, making the crown to come down or to angle violently whilst the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree break under the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most commonly on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The entire crown effectively ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a lot of additional effects such as massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a substantially greater danger to drop despite the fact that it endured the original windstorm.
