Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. 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 are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Taking Care Of Storm Damaged Trees

Though they’re typically seen as being solid and eternal, trees may become defenceless in extreme weather conditions like storms and strong winds. Intense storms and extreme winds have been known to annihilate trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

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

The hardest option following a storm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that are definitely down, that’s more or less straightforward. The more challenging choice is whether some of the trees left standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been partly harmed in the windstorm can present a potential future hazard and may well need to be chopped down and disposed of to avoid putting people & property in danger in many months or years in the future.

Some other trees maybe saved by being pruned back, with their most injured parts being ‘severed’ exactly like how a surgeon might remove a gangrenous limb. Others might need to be staked down with guy cables or supported with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree specialists can be trusted to clear away the broken trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the building crews access to the building to begin repair work on the affected structures and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage results in a different diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job ideally entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more liable to disregard a small detail that might just differentiate one conclusion from another, such as seeing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that indicates that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six types of storm damage that a tree can’t usually sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, causing the crown to fall or angle violently while the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree snap under the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swinging significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This occurs most typically on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The complete crown basically turns into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a many secondary effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is typically at a much increased risk to drop despite the fact that it endured the initial windstorm.
