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

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re typically considered as being solid and eternal, trees can certainly become defenceless in extreme weather conditions like storms & strong winds. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times soon after 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 may cause expensive renovations.

The most difficult option after a storm is not how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is fairly simple. The more challenging choice is whether any of the trees remaining upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been moderately affected in the windstorm might present a potential threat and might need to be disassembled and took out to avoid placing property & people in danger in many months or even years to come.

Other trees can be saved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘severed’ similar to how a surgeon would take off a gangrenous limb. Some other may need to get staked with guy wires or supported with various other supports up until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree professionals can be relied upon to clear away the injured trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction crews access to the property to begin repairs on the damaged buildings and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of problem creates a varied outlook for the trees’ future survival, however making a prognosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to disregard a small detail that can separate one decision from another, like seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six kinds of storm damage which a tree can’t usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, causing the crown to come down or bend strongly while the lower section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree snap beneath the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most frequently on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The complete crown essentially turns into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a lot of additional effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a substantially increased risk to fall even though it made it through the original windstorm.
