Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

If you are concerned about a tree that has fallen or has been damaged from lightning or a storm, we recommend calling 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. The tree surgeons have a lot of experience and are able to remove any tree debris properly.

Taking Care Of Trees Damaged In A Storm

Although they’re generally viewed as being really strong and everlasting, trees can easily end up being defenceless in adverse weather like storms & strong winds. Powerful storms and extreme winds have been known to wipe out trees and uplift even the healthiest & sturdiest trees out of the ground, sending them toppling to the ground, or onto neighbours’ gardens, power lines, vehicles, and buildings.

How many times after strong winds have you heard of storm-damaged trees & dislodged branches damaging property or blocking the road. In addition to the danger and inconvenience it also can lead to expensive restorations.

The toughest decision following a windstorm isn’t specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly easy. The more challenging choice is whether any of the trees still upright can be saved.

Certain trees that have been in part damaged in the storm might present a possible future threat and may well need to be cut down and took away to prevent putting people and property in danger in several months or even years to come.

Other trees could be saved by being trimmed back, with their worst affected parts being ‘severed’ much like how a surgeon might remove a gangrenous limb. Some other will require to get staked down with guy ropes or held up with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root structure they need to stand on their own.

If a windstorm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree contractors can be relied upon to remove the broken trees safely, quickly and efficiently to allow the construction crews access to the building to begin repair work on the damaged properties and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

Every one of these sorts of problem leads to a varied diagnosis for the trees’ potential survival, but making a prognosis is a job ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to overlook a small detail that can differentiate one conclusion from another, like noticing the splinters from a crown twist but missing the slight lean which indicates that the roots also snapped.

There are generally six kinds of storm damage which a tree can not usually sustain:

• Blowovers – these are where the whole tree falls down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the earth, leading to the trees crown to fall or to lean strongly whilst the lower part continues to be standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree break under the earth, leading to the tree pitching or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where one or more branches of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree turns enough to split, but stays up. This takes place most often on trees with highly unbalanced crowns. The whole crown basically becomes a weather vane in a windstorm, turning 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 strikes have a many additional effects including 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 much greater danger to fall even if it survived the original storm.
