Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

If you are concerned about a tree that has fallen or has been damaged from lightning or a storm, we recommend calling a qualified 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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they’re usually considered as being really durable and eternal, trees can certainly come to be vulnerable in adverse weather such as strong winds & storms. Violent storms and high winds have been known to decimate trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times after strong winds have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it additionally will lead to costly restorations.

The most difficult option following a storm isn’t specifically how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty straightforward. The more difficult possibility is whether any of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly affected in the windstorm can pose a future threat and might have to be chopped down and took out to prevent putting people and property in danger in several months or even years in the future.

Some other trees maybe preserved by being pruned back, with their most damaged parts being ‘severed’ much like how an operating surgeon will amputate a gangrenous leg. Others may require to get staked with guy wires or held up with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree experts can be trusted to get rid of the injured trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction companies access to the building to begin repair work on the affected structures and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these kinds of problem leads to a different prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to disregard a small detail that might just separate one conclusion from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 types of storm damage that a tree can not generally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, causing the crown to come down or to lean violently while the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack underneath the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This takes place most often on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The whole crown ultimately turns into a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – 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 tree hit by lightening is always at a substantially higher risk to drop even though it got through the original windstorm.
