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 have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they are usually viewed as being really sturdy and everlasting, trees can come to be defenceless in adverse weather conditions like strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been seen to wipe out trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience and danger it additionally can result in costly renovations.

The hardest decision after a storm is not how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much easy. The more challenging decision is whether or not some of the trees still upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been moderately affected in the windstorm might present a future threat and might need to be disassembled and disposed of to avoid placing property & people in danger in several months or years in the future.

Other trees may be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured parts being ‘amputated’ similar to how an operating surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Others may need to be staked down with guy wires or held up with other supports until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree contractors can be relied upon to clear away the damaged trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction companies easy access to the building to start repair work on the affected properties and power cables.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of damage causes a different outlook for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to disregard a small detail that can separate one decision from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six sorts of storm damage which a tree can not normally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, causing the crown to fall or to sag violently while the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree split under the soil, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most commonly on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The complete crown essentially becomes a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a lot of secondary 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 always at a much higher risk to drop even if it endured the original windstorm.
