Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

If you are concerned about a tree that has fallen or has been damaged from lightning or a storm, we recommend calling 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.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they’re generally seen as being durable and timeless, trees can easily end up being defenceless in extreme weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Violent storms and high winds have been known to decimate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times following strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it additionally may cause expensive repair work.

The most difficult option following a storm is not how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s fairly simple. The tougher choice is if any of the trees still upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been moderately affected in the windstorm can pose a potential future hazard and might have to be disassembled and disposed of to avoid placing property and people in danger in months or even years in the future.

Some other trees could be conserved by being pruned back, with their most damaged sections being ‘cut off’ exactly like how a surgeon might amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other may need to be staked with guy ropes or held up with various other supports up 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 professionals can be trusted to take away the injured trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the construction crews access to the property to begin maintenance and repairs on the damaged structures and power cables.

Various Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of damage leads to a different outlook for the trees’ long term survival, but making a prognosis is a task ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to fail to notice a small detail that may differentiate one decision from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.

There are generally six sorts of storm damage that a tree can’t generally sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the entire tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, making the trees crown to fall or to angle violently whilst the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree crack underneath the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to split, but stays up. This happens most frequently on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The entire crown basically ends up being a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. 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 always at a very much greater risk to fall even if it got through the initial windstorm.
