Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

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. 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. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Though they’re usually considered as being durable and eternal, trees can become defenceless in adverse weather such as strong winds and storms. Intense storms and very high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times following strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also may result in costly repairs.

The toughest decision following a storm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much easy. The harder choice is whether some of the trees left upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partly harmed in the windstorm might pose a potential threat and may well have to be chopped down and removed to avoid placing people and property at risk in many months or even years to come.

Some other trees could be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured sections being ‘cut off’ similar to how an operating surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other might require to get staked with guy ropes or supported with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree professionals can be relied upon to clear away the affected trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building and construction crews easy access to the property to begin repairs on the affected structures and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Each of these sorts of problem causes a varied prognosis for the trees’ future survival, however making a diagnosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to miss a small detail that can differentiate one conclusion from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that shows that the roots also failed.

There are generally six types of storm damage that a tree can not typically sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the full tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, causing the crown to fall or bend strongly whilst the bottom part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear under the soil, leading to the tree pitching or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This takes place most frequently on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The full crown effectively ends up being a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of secondary effects such as 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 very much higher danger to fall despite the fact that it made it through the initial windstorm.
