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.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Though they’re usually considered as being sturdy and eternal, trees can end up being vulnerable in extreme weather such as storms & strong winds. Fierce storms and high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times following a storm have you heard about dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it additionally may cause expensive renovations.

The most difficult decision after a storm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s fairly straightforward. The harder possibility is whether some of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partly injured in the windstorm may present a possible future threat and may need to be disassembled and took out to avoid putting people and property in danger in several months or years to come.

Some other trees can be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘cut off’ just like how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Others might need to get staked down with guy wires or supported with various other supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on property, our tree experts can be relied upon to remove the damaged trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building companies access to the building to begin restorations on the affected properties and power cables.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of damage results in a distinct prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a job best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to disregard a small detail that could differentiate one verdict from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which suggests that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six types of storm damage which a tree can not normally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, leading to the trees crown to fall or sag strongly whilst the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree crack beneath the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swaying considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more 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 commonly on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The full crown basically becomes a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a lot of secondary effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a substantially increased risk to fall despite the fact that it survived the initial windstorm.
