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. 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 are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they are usually seen as being strong and timeless, trees can come to be vulnerable in adverse weather such as strong winds & storms. Intense storms and very high winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times following a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it also may result in expensive repairs.

The most difficult option after a windstorm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much simple. The more challenging possibility is if some of the trees remaining standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been partially harmed in the windstorm might pose a future threat and may have to be cut down and took out to avoid putting people and property in danger in months or even years to come.

Some other trees might be preserved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘cut off’ just like how a surgeon may amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other may require to be staked 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 windstorm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree experts can be trusted to clear away the injured trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the construction teams easy access to the property to begin repair work on the affected structures and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these sorts of problem creates a distinct outlook for the trees’ future survival, but making a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more going to fail to notice a small detail that might differentiate one verdict from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which signifies that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage which a tree can not usually endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, leading to the crown to fall or lean violently while the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree snap underneath the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays standing. This occurs most typically on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The whole crown basically transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting 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, for now. Lightening hits have a many additional effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a much higher danger to fall even though it made it through the original windstorm.
