Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

If you have and fallen trees or any damaged trees from a storm or lightning, you should call a qualified 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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they are often taken as being sturdy and eternal, trees can become vulnerable in extreme weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and tear even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the danger and inconvenience it also will cause costly repairs.

The toughest option after a windstorm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much easy. The more challenging decision is whether any of the trees left upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been in part damaged in the windstorm may well present a possible future hazard and might need to be disassembled and took away to avoid placing people & property in danger in months or years in the future.

Other trees can be saved by being pruned back, with their worst damaged parts being ‘severed’ much like how an operating surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Others might require to get staked down with guy cables or held up with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree specialists can be relied upon to take away the broken trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the construction teams access to the property to begin restorations on the damaged structures and power lines.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of problem creates an unique outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to fail to notice a small detail that may differentiate one conclusion from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.

There are basically six sorts of storm damage that a tree can not normally sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, making the trees crown to come down or to angle strongly whilst the bottom part stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree break below the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swinging dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This takes place most commonly on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The entire crown effectively becomes a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a number of 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 very much higher danger to drop even though it endured the initial windstorm.
