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 are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Although they are usually seen as being solid and eternal, trees can certainly come to be defenceless in extreme weather such as storms and strong winds. Fierce storms and strong winds have been seen to wipe out trees and uplift even the sturdiest and healthiest trees out of the ground, sending them crashing to the earth, or onto vehicles, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and power lines.

How many times soon after a storm have you heard of storm-damaged trees and dislodged branches blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger & inconvenience it additionally can cause expensive renovations.

The toughest decision following a windstorm isn’t specifically how to dispose of the trees that have definitely fallen down, that is fairly easy. The more challenging possibility is whether some of the trees left standing are salvageable.

Various trees that have been in part harmed in the storm may well present a potential future hazard and might have to be cut down and took out to prevent putting people & property at risk in several months or even years ahead.

Other trees can be saved by being trimmed back, with their most damaged sections being ‘amputated’ just like how a surgeon might remove a gangrenous limb. Others may require to be staked down with guy cables or held up with various other supports up until they can re-develop the root system they need to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to fall on premises, our tree experts can be relied upon to get rid of the affected trees quickly, safely and efficiently to allow the building and construction teams easy access to the building to start repair work on the affected buildings and power lines.

Various Types Of Storm Damage

Every one of these types of problem leads to a distinct diagnosis for the trees’ long term survival, but making a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully certified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more likely to fail to notice a small detail that might separate one conclusion from another, such as noticing the splinters from a crown twist but failing to see the slight lean which indicates that the roots also failed.

There are generally six types of storm damage which a tree can’t generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – these are where the complete tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree breaks above the soil, making the trees crown to fall or to angle strongly while the bottom section remains standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the roots of the tree tear beneath the soil, resulting in the tree leaning or swaying considerably.
• Branch Failures – is where one or more limbs of the tree break off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to split, but stays standing. This occurs most often on trees with highly lopsided crowns. The complete crown essentially transforms into a weathervane in a windstorm, twisting to follow the wind flow in a way that the trunk can’t.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays standing, at the moment. Lightening hits have a number of additional effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a tree hit by lightening is always at a very much greater risk to drop even if it endured the initial storm.
