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 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 have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact that they’re usually viewed as being sturdy and everlasting, trees can easily come to be at risk in adverse weather like storms & strong winds. Intense storms and very high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

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

The hardest decision following a windstorm isn’t how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly straightforward. The tougher possibility is whether any of the trees remaining standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially damaged in the storm may pose a possible future threat and may have to be cut down and disposed of to avoid putting people and property at risk in several months or even years to come.

Some other trees maybe preserved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘amputated’ similar to how an operating surgeon may amputate a gangrenous leg. Others may require to get staked with guy cables or supported with other supports until they can re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree experts can be relied upon to get rid of the injured trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the construction teams access to the property to begin restorations on the affected structures and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of problem results in a different outlook 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 liable to fail to notice a small detail that could separate one conclusion from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six forms of storm damage which a tree can not usually endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, causing the crown to fall or lean strongly while the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break below the earth, leading to the tree bending or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This takes place most often on trees with very lopsided crowns. The whole crown effectively ends up being a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several additional effects such as 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 substantially higher danger to fall even though it survived the initial storm.
