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

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

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

How many times shortly after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Aside from the inconvenience & danger it also may lead to expensive repair work.

The most difficult decision after a storm is not how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less straightforward. The more challenging choice is whether or not some of the trees still standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been moderately injured in the storm can present a potential future threat and might need to be chopped down and took away to prevent placing people and property at risk in many months or years in the future.

Other trees might be saved by being pruned back, with their most affected sections being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon will amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other will require to be staked down with guy wires or held up with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

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

Different Types Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of problem results in a different prognosis for the trees’ long term survival, however making a prognosis is a job best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more going to miss a small detail that may differentiate one conclusion from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six kinds of storm damage which a tree can not normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, leading to the trees crown to fall or lean strongly whilst the lower section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree crack under the ground, resulting in the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays standing. This happens most typically on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The complete crown basically becomes a weathervane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. Lightening strikes have a lot of secondary effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a substantially greater danger to drop even though it endured the original storm.
