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 have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Though they are usually viewed as being solid and timeless, trees can certainly become defenceless in extreme weather such as storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and very high winds have been seen to decimate trees and tear even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the inconvenience & danger it also will lead to costly restorations.

The toughest decision after a storm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that is pretty easy. The tougher possibility is whether or not any of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been partially harmed in the windstorm can present a future risk and may well need to be disassembled and took out to avoid putting property and people in danger in months or even years to come.

Other trees can be conserved by being trimmed back, with their worst injured sections being ‘amputated’ much like how a surgeon will take off a gangrenous limb. Others will need to get staked with guy ropes or supported with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root system they require to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on buildings, our tree contractors can be trusted to remove the damaged trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the construction teams easy access to the property to begin restorations on the damaged properties and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Each one of these sorts of damage causes a different outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however forming a diagnosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is much more likely to miss a small detail that might just separate one decision from another, such as finding the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which shows that the roots also snapped.

There are essentially 6 types of storm damage which a tree can’t normally endure:

• Blowovers – this is where the entire tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree cracks above the soil, leading to the crown to come down or to lean violently whilst the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break under the soil, leading to the tree bending or swinging significantly.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This takes place most commonly on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The entire crown essentially ends up being a weathervane in a storm, twisting to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk can not.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes have a many secondary 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 substantially higher risk to fall even though it endured the original windstorm.
