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. Untrained persons should never attempt to deal with a tree that has fallen because of all the objects that might be under or around it and any live power lines. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Handling Storm Damaged Trees

Even though they are often considered as being really durable and everlasting, trees can easily become defenceless in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds & storms. Fierce storms and very high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees from the ground, sending them smashing to the ground, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

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

The hardest decision following a storm isn’t specifically how to remove the trees that are definitely down, that is more or less straightforward. The tougher decision is whether any of the trees left standing can be saved.

Some trees that have been moderately affected in the windstorm might present a potential future risk and may have to be chopped down and took away to avoid putting property & people in danger in months or years ahead.

Some other trees may be conserved by being trimmed back, with their most affected sections being ‘cut off’ exactly like how a surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Others may need to be staked down with guy cables or supported with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on premises, our tree contractors can be relied upon to take away the broken trees safely, efficiently and quickly to allow the construction teams easy access to the building to start restorations on the affected buildings and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

All of these kinds of damage results in an unique outlook for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a job best left to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to fail to notice a small detail that can differentiate one verdict from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which suggests that the roots also snapped.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can not generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the complete tree is uprooted.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, resulting in the trees crown to come down or lean violently whilst the bottom section continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree crack below the soil, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates enough to split, but stays standing. This takes place most often on trees with extremely disproportionate crowns. The complete crown effectively transforms into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a manner in which the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Strikes – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening strikes 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 typically at a substantially greater risk to drop even if it got through the original windstorm.
