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 Storm Damaged Trees

Despite the fact they are usually seen as being really strong and timeless, trees can become defenceless in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Intense storms and strong winds have been known to decimate trees and tear even the sturdiest and healthiest 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 of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. Aside from the danger & inconvenience it also will cause expensive repair work.

The toughest decision following a storm is not how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is more or less straightforward. The more difficult choice is whether some of the trees still upright are salvageable.

Some trees that have been in part harmed in the storm might present a potential future risk and may have to be disassembled and disposed of to avoid putting people & property in danger in several months or even years to come.

Other trees can be saved by being trimmed back, with their most injured parts being ‘cut off’ exactly like how a surgeon will take off a gangrenous limb. Some other may require to be staked with guy wires or supported with various other supports until they can re-develop the root system they need to have to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to fall on property, our tree experts can be relied upon to take away the broken trees efficiently, safely and quickly to allow the building and construction crews access to the building to start repair work on the affected buildings and power lines.

Different Types Of Storm Damage

All of these types of damage results in a varied prognosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a prognosis is a job ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified nonprofessional is much more liable to overlook a small detail that might just separate one verdict from another, such as observing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which shows that the roots also failed.

There are essentially 6 kinds of storm damage which a tree can not typically endure:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, resulting in the trees crown to fall or lean strongly whilst the lower section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is where the root systems of the tree break beneath the ground, leading to the tree bending or swaying noticeably.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is where the trunk of the tree turns enough to splinter, but stays up. This happens most frequently on trees with highly disproportionate crowns. The complete crown effectively turns into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind flow in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, at the moment. Lightening hits have a several secondary effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a considerably higher risk to drop despite the fact that it endured the initial storm.
