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.

Handling Trees Damaged In A Storm

Despite the fact that they are generally taken as being strong and everlasting, trees can certainly end up being defenceless in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and storms. Fierce storms and high winds have been seen to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest & healthiest trees from the soil, sending them plunging to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

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

The hardest decision after a windstorm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is pretty much straightforward. The more difficult possibility is if some of the trees left upright can be saved.

Various trees that have been in part damaged in the windstorm can present a potential future risk and might have to be cut down and took away to avoid placing property and people in danger in several months or years to come.

Some other trees maybe saved by being pruned back, with their worst cracked sections being ‘cut off’ similar to how an operating surgeon might take off a gangrenous limb. Some other may need to be staked with guy cables or held up with additional supports until they can re-develop the root structure they have to have to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree specialists can be trusted to get rid of the affected trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building teams easy access to the property to begin repair work on the damaged structures and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these types of damage leads to a distinct outlook for the trees’ long term survival, however making a prognosis is a task ideally entrusted to a fully trained arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to disregard a small detail that may well differentiate one decision from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are essentially six forms of storm damage which a tree can not normally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the ground, leading to the crown to fall or angle violently whilst the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree split under the ground, resulting in the tree leaning or swinging considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree detach.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This happens most commonly on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The whole crown effectively turns into a weather vane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk is unable to.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a several additional effects like massive water loss and opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin, so a lightening-hit tree is always at a much greater danger to fall even if it made it through the original windstorm.
