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.
Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm
Though they are usually taken as being really sturdy and everlasting, trees can become vulnerable in extreme weather like strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and very high winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.
How many times soon after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the inconvenience & danger it additionally will result in costly repair work.
The most difficult decision following a storm is not how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty simple. The harder possibility is whether or not any of the trees left upright can be saved.
Certain trees that have been partly damaged in the storm might present a future hazard and might have to be cut down and disposed of to prevent putting people and property in danger in several months or even years in the future.
Some other trees could be saved by being pruned back, with their worst affected sections being ‘severed’ much like how a surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Others might need to get staked down with guy ropes or held up with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.
If a storm has caused trees to land on property, our tree specialists can be relied upon to get rid of the injured trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building and construction teams access to the property to start repair work on the damaged structures and power lines.
Different Types Of Storm Damage
Every one of these kinds of damage causes a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a diagnosis is a task best left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more likely to fail to notice a small detail that may well differentiate one verdict from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which signifies that the roots also snapped.
There are essentially six sorts of storm damage which a tree can not typically stand up to:
- Blowovers – these are where the whole tree comes 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 strongly even though the bottom part stays standing normally.
- Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree crack below the earth, leading to the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
- Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
- Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This takes place most commonly on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The whole crown essentially becomes a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
- Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a lot of additional effects including opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a very much greater danger to fall even though it endured the original storm.
