Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. Untrained persons should never attempt to deal with a tree that has fallen because of all the objects that might be under or around it and any live power lines. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are generally taken as being sturdy and everlasting, trees can easily end up being at risk in extreme weather like strong winds and storms. Violent storms and strong winds have been known to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times after strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also can lead to costly repair work.

The hardest option following a windstorm isn’t how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much simple. The more challenging possibility is whether or not some of the trees left standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been in part damaged in the storm might present a potential risk and may need to be cut down and took away to avoid placing people & property in danger in many months or even years in the future.

Some other trees maybe preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst damaged parts being ‘cut off’ much like how an operating surgeon may take off a gangrenous limb. Others may need to be staked with guy wires or held up with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree contractors can be relied upon to remove the affected trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building companies access to the building to start restorations on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each one of these types of problem creates a varied prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, however making a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to disregard a small detail that might differentiate one conclusion from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six sorts of storm damage which a tree can not normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, resulting in the trees crown to come down or to bend strongly while the bottom part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree tear beneath the soil, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most often on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The entire crown essentially turns into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a number of additional effects like 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 considerably increased danger to fall even if it endured the initial storm.
