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

Dealing With Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they’re typically considered as being solid and everlasting, trees can end up being at risk in adverse weather such as storms and strong winds. Violent storms and very high winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times following strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it additionally can result in costly restorations.

The most difficult option after a windstorm is not how to dispose of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much straightforward. The more challenging decision is whether some of the trees remaining standing are salvageable.

Certain trees that have been partly injured in the storm may present a potential threat and might have to be disassembled and took out to prevent putting property & people in danger in months or even years ahead.

Other trees maybe preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst cracked parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how an operating surgeon will remove a gangrenous leg. Others may need to get staked down with guy cables or supported with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

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

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of problem creates a varied outlook for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a job ideally left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to miss a small detail that might differentiate one decision from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 types of storm damage which a tree can not generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, causing the crown to come down or to angle violently whilst the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree break beneath the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This occurs most frequently on trees with very unbalanced crowns. The whole crown essentially ends up being a weathervane in a windstorm, 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 up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a lot 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 typically at a much increased danger to drop despite the fact that it made it through the original storm.
