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 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 have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they are usually considered as being really solid and timeless, trees may end up being vulnerable in extreme weather like storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and extreme winds have been seen to decimate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

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

The toughest decision following a storm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that’s pretty much easy. The more difficult decision is if any of the trees left standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been moderately affected in the storm can pose a future hazard and may well need to be cut down and disposed of to avoid putting people & property in danger in months or even years to come.

Some other trees may be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured parts being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Others might need to be staked down with guy cables or supported with various other supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree contractors can be trusted to remove the damaged trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building teams easy access to the building to start repair work on the damaged buildings and power lines.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of problem causes a distinct outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a prognosis is a task best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to miss a small detail that may separate one conclusion from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six types of storm damage that a tree can’t generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, making the crown to fall or bend violently while the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree tear underneath the soil, resulting in the tree bending or swaying significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most commonly on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The whole crown ultimately turns into a weather vane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a considerably higher risk to fall despite the fact that it made it through the original storm.
