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. 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.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they’re typically seen as being really solid and eternal, trees can come to be vulnerable in extreme weather such as storms and strong winds. Intense storms and very high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the healthiest & sturdiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard about dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience & danger it additionally will cause expensive restorations.

The toughest decision after a windstorm isn’t how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s pretty easy. The more difficult possibility is whether some of the trees left upright can be saved.

Some trees that have been moderately harmed in the windstorm might present a future risk and may well need to be disassembled and removed to avoid placing people and property in danger in many months or years in the future.

Some other trees could be saved by being pruned back, with their most injured parts being ‘severed’ much like how an operating surgeon would take off a gangrenous leg. Others might need to get staked with guy ropes or supported with additional supports until they can re-develop the root system they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree experts can be relied upon to remove the affected trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the construction companies easy access to the property to begin repair work on the damaged properties and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of problem results in a different outlook for the trees’ potential survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job best entrusted to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to miss a small detail that may well differentiate one conclusion from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean that suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 kinds of storm damage that a tree can’t typically sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, leading to the trees crown to fall or sag violently whilst the lower part remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear below the earth, resulting in the tree pitching or swinging significantly.
• Branch Failures – is where several limbs of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays up. This takes place most frequently on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The complete crown basically transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – 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 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 much increased risk to drop even though it survived the original windstorm.
