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.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they’re generally considered as being solid and everlasting, trees can easily become defenceless in extreme weather like strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and high winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it also can lead to expensive repairs.

The most difficult option after a windstorm is not specifically how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less simple. The more challenging possibility is whether or not any of the trees still standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been in part injured in the windstorm may well present a future hazard and may well have to be cut down and took away to prevent putting people & property at risk in months or years in the future.

Other trees can be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured sections being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon will remove a gangrenous leg. Some other will require to be staked down with guy cables or held up with additional supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree professionals can be relied upon to take away the damaged trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the building companies access to the property to start maintenance and repairs on the damaged structures and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of damage leads to an unique diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, however making a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to miss a small detail that might separate one verdict from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially six forms of storm damage which a tree can’t normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the earth, leading to the crown to come down or sag strongly whilst the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack under the earth, leading to the tree pitching or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most typically on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The complete crown effectively ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening hits have a number of secondary effects such as opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a very much greater risk to drop even if it endured the original windstorm.
