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. It is very dangerous for non-trained people to try and 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. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Although they’re often considered as being solid and everlasting, trees can easily come to be vulnerable in adverse weather such as strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and strong winds have been known to annihilate trees and rip even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times following a storm have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience & danger it also will result in expensive repairs.

The toughest decision after a windstorm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much simple. The harder possibility is whether any of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been in part affected in the windstorm may well present a possible future risk and may need to be disassembled and disposed of to avoid putting property & people at risk in many months or even years to come.

Some other trees might be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘severed’ much like how an operating surgeon may amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other will need to be staked with guy ropes or supported 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 experts can be trusted to take away the broken trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the construction teams access to the building to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged structures and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of problem results in an unique outlook for the trees’ future survival, however making a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to overlook a small detail that might just separate one verdict from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which shows that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage which a tree can not generally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, making the trees crown to fall or to angle strongly whilst the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break beneath the soil, leading to the tree bending or swaying significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This occurs most commonly on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The whole crown basically ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes 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 danger to drop despite the fact that it made it through the initial windstorm.
