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

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they’re generally considered as being strong and eternal, trees may become at risk in adverse weather like strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and very high winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it also will lead to costly repairs.

The toughest option after a storm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly simple. The harder choice is if any of the trees remaining upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partly harmed in the windstorm may well present a possible future hazard and may well need to be cut down and disposed of to prevent placing people & property in danger in many months or years to come.

Other trees may be saved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘amputated’ exactly like how a surgeon would remove a gangrenous limb. Others may need to get staked with guy wires or supported with additional supports up until they are able to re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree contractors can be trusted to get rid of the injured trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building teams easy access to the property to begin repairs on the affected properties and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage results in a different prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however making a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is far more going to disregard a small detail that may well separate one decision from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that suggests that the roots also failed.

There are basically six forms of storm damage that a tree can’t generally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, leading to the trees crown to fall or sag violently even though 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.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most often on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The full crown essentially becomes a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind 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 number of additional effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a substantially higher danger to drop even if it got through the original windstorm.
