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 have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they are usually viewed as being really durable and everlasting, trees may become vulnerable in adverse weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and very high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times shortly after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it additionally may result in costly repairs.

The most difficult option after a storm isn’t how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly simple. The more difficult possibility is whether or not any of the trees still standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been partly affected in the storm might present a future threat and may need to be chopped down and took away to prevent placing people and property in danger in months or even years in the future.

Other trees could be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected parts being ‘amputated’ similar to how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other may require to be staked down with guy cables or held up with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree professionals can be relied upon to take away the damaged trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the construction crews access to the building to begin repairs on the affected structures and power cables.

Different Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each of these types of damage leads to a distinct outlook for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to disregard a small detail that might separate one decision from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t usually stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, resulting in the trees crown to come down or to sag violently whilst the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree snap underneath the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays up. This takes place most frequently on trees with very lopsided crowns. The complete crown essentially turns into a weathervane 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 up, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot of additional effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a considerably higher danger to drop even though it got through the original storm.
