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. Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. Tree surgeons have years of experience and can safely remove any storm damaged trees.

Managing Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact they’re generally taken as being strong and permanent, trees may come to be defenceless in adverse weather such as storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and strong winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them plunging to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

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

The most difficult option following a windstorm is not how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty much simple. The more difficult possibility is if some of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been in part injured in the storm might present a future threat and may have to be cut down and disposed of to avoid putting people & property at risk in many months or years in the future.

Other trees could be conserved by being pruned back, with their most cracked parts being ‘severed’ similar to how a surgeon might take off a gangrenous leg. Some other will need to be staked with guy wires or supported with other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree professionals can be trusted to remove the affected trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building and construction companies access to the building to start repairs on the affected buildings and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these types of problem results in an unique outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however making a prognosis is a job best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to fail to notice a small detail that can differentiate one verdict from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage that a tree can’t typically endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, causing the trees crown to fall or to lean strongly whilst the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split below the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This happens most frequently on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The entire crown essentially transforms into a weather vane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of additional 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 always at a substantially greater risk to drop even if it got through the original storm.
