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. Untrained individuals should not attempt to 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.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they are typically seen as being really strong and eternal, trees can come to be vulnerable in extreme weather such as storms & strong winds. Fierce storms and high winds have been known to wipe out trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them crashing to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience & danger it also may result in expensive repairs.

The most difficult decision following a windstorm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is fairly straightforward. The more difficult decision is if some of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partially affected in the windstorm can pose a potential future threat and may well need to be cut down and took away to prevent placing people and property at risk in many months or years in the future.

Some other trees maybe conserved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘amputated’ similar to how a surgeon might take off a gangrenous limb. Others may require to be staked with guy wires or held up with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree professionals can be relied upon to clear away the injured trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building teams easy access to the property to start repairs on the damaged properties and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of damage creates an unique diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a prognosis is a task best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to miss a small detail that might just separate one verdict from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that indicates that the roots also failed.

There are generally six kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t generally endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, making the trees crown to come down or to sag strongly even though the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear underneath the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This takes place most typically on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The whole crown effectively transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a many secondary effects including 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 substantially higher risk to fall even though it survived the initial windstorm.
