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. Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they’re generally considered as being solid and everlasting, trees can certainly become vulnerable in extreme weather like strong winds & storms. Powerful storms and high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and tear even the healthiest and sturdiest trees from the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it also may lead to costly repairs.

The hardest option following a windstorm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much straightforward. The tougher possibility is whether any of the trees left upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been moderately harmed in the windstorm might present a future hazard and might need to be disassembled and took out to prevent placing property & people at risk in months or years in the future.

Some other trees may be saved by being trimmed back, with their most cracked parts being ‘severed’ similar to how an operating surgeon might remove a gangrenous limb. Others might need to get staked with guy wires or held up with various other supports until they are able to 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 trusted to clear away the affected trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the construction teams easy access to the building to start maintenance and repairs on the affected structures and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of problem causes a distinct prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to fail to notice a small detail that could differentiate one conclusion from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 kinds of storm damage which a tree can not generally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, resulting in the crown to come down or to angle strongly even though the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree tear below the soil, resulting in the tree bending or swinging considerably.
• 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 splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most commonly on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The whole crown essentially transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects including massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a much higher risk to drop even if it made it through the original windstorm.
