Storm Damage Tree Removal

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. 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.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are generally considered as being durable and permanent, trees can end up being at risk in extreme weather like strong winds and storms. Intense storms and very high winds have been known to annihilate trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, 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. Apart from the inconvenience and danger it also will result in expensive restorations.

The most difficult option following a windstorm is not how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty much simple. The tougher choice is whether or not some of the trees left upright are salvageable.

Various trees that have been moderately affected in the windstorm may well pose a future risk and may well have to be disassembled and took away to avoid placing people and property at risk in many months or years in the future.

Some other trees can be preserved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected sections being ‘amputated’ just like how an operating surgeon may remove a gangrenous limb. Some other might require to be staked down with guy ropes or held up with various other supports until they can re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree experts can be trusted to get rid of the injured trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the construction crews easy access to the property to begin repair work on the affected structures and power lines.

Various Sorts Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of damage leads to a varied prognosis for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more going to disregard a small detail that might just separate one decision from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which reveals that the roots also snapped.

There are basically 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can not usually sustain:

• Blowovers – this is where the full tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the ground, leading to the crown to fall or to lean violently whilst the lower section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree break underneath the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging considerably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays standing. This takes place most commonly on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The full crown essentially turns into a weathervane in a windstorm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, for now. 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 typically at a substantially increased risk to drop even though it survived the original windstorm.
