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.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Even though they are usually seen as being strong and everlasting, trees may end up being at risk in adverse weather like storms and strong winds. Intense storms and strong winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the healthiest and sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto buildings, power lines, vehicles and neighbours’ gardens.

How many times following strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches & storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. In addition to the danger & inconvenience it also may lead to expensive repair work.

The toughest decision following a storm isn’t how to get rid of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly straightforward. The tougher decision is whether some of the trees still upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been partially damaged in the windstorm might pose a potential future hazard and may have to be chopped down and took away to avoid putting people & property in danger in many months or years in the future.

Some other trees could be conserved by being pruned back, with their worst affected sections being ‘amputated’ exactly like how an operating surgeon may remove a gangrenous limb. Some other might require to be staked down with guy wires or supported with other supports until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree professionals can be relied upon to remove the injured trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building teams access to the property to begin maintenance and repairs on the damaged properties and power cables.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these kinds of damage causes a varied diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a prognosis is a task best left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more going to fail to notice a small detail that may differentiate one conclusion from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean that suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are basically six types of storm damage that a tree can’t typically 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 soil, making the crown to come down or to angle violently whilst the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the roots of the tree crack under the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swaying significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays up. This occurs most frequently on trees with very disproportionate crowns. The complete crown essentially becomes a weathervane in a storm, turning 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 number of additional effects including 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 considerably greater risk to drop despite the fact that it got through the original windstorm.
