Storm Damage Tree Removal

If you have and fallen trees or any damaged trees from a storm or lightning, you should call a qualified tree surgeon. 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. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they are typically viewed as being really solid and eternal, trees can easily end up being at risk in extreme weather conditions such as storms & strong winds. Violent storms and high winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times following a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also will lead to expensive restorations.

The hardest option following a windstorm isn’t how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty much easy. The more difficult possibility is whether or not some of the trees still upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been in part harmed in the windstorm might present a potential future risk and may well need to be chopped down and disposed of to prevent placing people & property at risk in months or years to come.

Other trees can be preserved by being trimmed back, with their most injured sections being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon may remove a gangrenous leg. Others might require to be staked with guy ropes or held up with various other 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 clear away the injured trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the construction crews easy access to the property to begin restorations on the damaged properties and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of damage results in a varied outlook for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to miss a small detail that could separate one conclusion from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t usually sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, leading to the crown to fall or to angle strongly even though the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree tear beneath the ground, resulting in the tree bending or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays up. This happens most commonly on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The whole crown basically becomes a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a many secondary effects like 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 considerably increased danger to fall despite the fact that it survived the original windstorm.
