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. Tree surgeons are highly skilled and have the experience to properly remove any tree damage.

Managing Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they are generally taken as being really solid and permanent, trees can easily become at risk in extreme weather like strong winds & storms. Violent storms and high winds have been known to annihilate trees and tear even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times soon after strong winds have you heard about storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it also can result in expensive repair work.

The most difficult decision after a windstorm is not how to deal with the trees that are definitely down, that is fairly straightforward. The tougher decision is if any of the trees left standing can be saved.

Certain trees that have been partially affected in the windstorm might pose a potential risk and may well have to be chopped down and disposed of to avoid putting property and people at risk in many months or years ahead.

Some other trees could be preserved by being pruned back, with their worst injured parts being ‘severed’ much like how a surgeon would amputate a gangrenous limb. Some other may need to get staked with guy cables or supported with additional supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree specialists can be trusted to clear away the broken trees efficiently, quickly and safely to allow the building and construction companies access to the building to begin repair work on the damaged structures and power cables.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage results in a varied prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a task best entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to miss a small detail that might differentiate one verdict from another, like observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which reveals that the roots also failed.

There are basically six forms of storm damage which a tree can’t generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the ground, leading to the trees crown to come down or lean strongly even though the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split under the ground, leading to the tree pitching or swinging noticeably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most typically on trees with extremely lopsided crowns. The whole crown effectively turns into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening strikes have a number of additional 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 considerably higher risk to fall even if it made it through the initial windstorm.
